VST double triggering filter

[zieQ]

Hi,

I'm looking for some VST software that have a double-triggering filter feature because my edrum module is not good enough in this respect. For now, I've only found EdrumMonitor and its paid brother eTrigger. Are there other VST available for this task?

Thanks in advance,
zieQ

Welcome to the forum, zieQ!


What kind of drum module are you using?
Have you tried adjusting the Crosstalk-, Retrigg-Cancel- or Mask-Time-parameters of it?

I have had the same problem with my e-drum module.
At first I thought it was my DIY built, then maybe the mesh, but in the end, the module was the culprit.

I fixed it with a DTX700 module.

I had some success when I used DSPTrigger with the old module.

I use a Alesis Trigger I/O with DIY pads (acoustic toms cut in two with mesh heads). Sure, the Alesis Trigger I/O has retrigger settings, but I can't completely eliminate the double-triggering issues on the whole sensibility range: either i miss sensivity on soft hits or I get double-triggering on hard hits. I've already tried different alternatives for the construction of the pads, but it does not solve the problem. I finally think it's related to the module so I would like to fix the problem with filtering software such as a VST midi filter.

Thanks, I didn't find this one. What do you mean by "I had some success": did you completely solve the problem?

EDIT: seems like it's not a midi filter but an audio to midi software

The 'Problem' -or rather: 'inconvenience' - here is the interaction / combination of 'mesh' and 'Trigger I/O'.
It has been documented a lot that the Trigger I/O does not perform its best with mesh heads! ...I even seem to remember that some developer or beta-tester chimed in to say that they could not get to test the performance of the Trigger I/O with mesh, due to time-issues or not having a mesh pad at hand.

I suspect that only a small part of this is to be the mesh head itself. The larger part of the problem could stem from the fact that Roland- and most DIY-designs (crossbars... cake-pans...) use a (center-mounted) trigger-cone, while Alesis uses a 'Reflection Plate' design for their own pads (...and their modules being designed/constructed/calibrated to work with them, first and foremost...). It could be that this has been addressed by a software-update from Alesis at one point, I don't know...


Have you tried asking this question over at the 'dmdrummer.com' (...unofficial Alesis) forums?

I just registered to their forum and I will ask the question there. Thanks for the suggestion.

My initial question still applies: any VST MIDI double-triggering filter to suggest? I have also found piz's midiDuplicateBlocker recently, but I don't know if it's appropriate for this task yet.

Well, I've never seen any such filter, probably because there's no need for one. What have you got retrigger set at?
