Why doesn't the Roland TD50x or the digital hi hat work with Logic Pro?
I have a Roland electronic drum kit with the digital hi hat, snare, ride and the TD50x module, when using MIDI to connect the drums to Logic Pro there are all sorts of triggering problems, mostly with the hi hat, it will only read it as open, it won't read a hit on the top of the cymbal, only the edge. I have seen the tutorials that say to change the mapping to V-Drum in the drum kit designer, this works for reading hits better but now it only plays a closed hi hat sound no matter how open the pedal is.
In the standalone EZdrummer 3 app everything triggers PERFECTLY, but if I load the EXACT SAME plugin inside of Logic Pro with the same settings it doesn't trigger properly. The problem is pretty consistently with the digital hi hat only playing as open and the pedal not affecting it at all. If I have the mapping set to the Toontrack standard (instead of TD50x mapping) the hi hat does work but I have to apply such a tremendous amount of pressure to the pedal to get the hi hat to close that I have to shift my posture completely and it's too inconvenient to be worth it.
I also tried with Addictive Drums 2, same problem, the hi hat at least works in the standalone app (I did have a problem with the choke on the crash though) but once it's opened through Logic Pro it doesn't.
The last thing is that I tried using EZdrummer 3 as a plugin inside of REAPER and it all worked PERFECTLY, it's only Logic Pro that seems to have a problem with the MIDI. I have looked everywhere for an answer but everyone just mentions the "change to V-Drums" approach which does not work.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
