I have the module up and running and even the stock sounds are impressive to me. Very glad I took a chance on the 2Box module. I have a Roland TD-9KX with PD-105 snare and PD-85 toms. It doesn't seem to matter which pad, but any rim tap (even very lightly) triggers the head. I have XTALK set to HIGH on all heads and rims. I have THRESHOLD on all rims set to -12 (this highest it can go.) I have THRESHOLD on snare set to -48 (love the little ghost notes) and the tom heads I have it at -36. I have GAIN set to 0 on all rims and heads.
For the snare I have PAD12 and toms I have PAD10 for the head. For the rims I have RIM. I've tried a few different pad types, but didn't see any noticeable difference.
1st question.
I guess I'm OK if I'm stuck with effectively single zone pads for the snare and toms, but I was wondering if there is anything else I could do to be able to play a rim sound independently without splitting the signal, buying another trigger of some sort and mounting hardware.
2nd question (2 parts)
2a. If I decided to buy the 2Box snare and tom pads, what extra mounting gear would I need to replace the Rolands pads on my MDS-9 rack?
2b. I've read a lot about the rubber on the rims not holding up on the 2Box pads. Has that been addressed by the manufacturer or are there DIY type solutions for that?
Thanks! I'm very much looking forward to being able to use the 2Box full time. Just gotta sort out a few issues.
