Keep in mind that this is all speculation on my part. It is actually very similar to Roland and how they paired down the TD-12 from the TD-20. Meaning, they blocked it out because they want to use these things as features on an up coming higher end module. If there is hidden stuff that isn't documented in the manual, this would explain the reason some things can't be changed in the DM10 (like the midi notes for the hi-hat and crash). That Alesis trimmed back the DM10 so the can make a higher end module base on the same tech of the DM10.

If the stuff is there this confirms what I have thought for a while. Is the second hi-hat zone sounds listed in the manual (I'm betting they are not)? I will be doing some testing tonight with my trigger I/O in the DM10. On a side note, the dual zone hi-hat thing intrigues me. That way if people (like myself) who do not have excel may be able to see the doc. Also, could you maybe make a pdf from that spreedsheet. PM me and I will give you my email address. Try the MAP PRESET dropdown box in the top left of the Map Window. Addictive Drums 2 includes Map Presets for over 30 e-drum kits. The last thing you need to do is to make sure that the pads on your e-drum kit trigger the correct sounds. I have no problem putting this info up on the site. The Midi Monitor flashes and displays information on incoming midi messages. Not that it matters as I'm on a mac and I don't have any microsoft programs on my computer. Any body else have this issue? It's really a PITA because I'm trying to create a custom MIDI map in AD2 for Slate Drums4 and it's not working 100%, and I don't know if this issue is part of the problem.I can't get the Excel spreadsheet to download. I've got a difference of two octaves/key ranges between the two keyboards. Even allowing for the possibility that they're using the different conventions, that's a difference of only one octave/key range on the keyboard. It may be a USA/European thing? AD2 is a European product. One convention says C3, the other says it's C4. In addition, it might be convenient to be able to move the display of C7-B7 below C4 on the piano roll to keep all your keyswitches close together. I know there are two Midi conventions, which revolve around what is considered middle C. He sent me a midi track but when I map it in XLN Addictive 2 with TD-20 the snare sidestick doesnt work, by exemple. For instance, say a VI with a playing range of C4-B6 uses two ranges of notes for keyswitches, C3-B3 and C7-B7, and you have appropriately specified names for those notes in a MIDI note name map. Sonar PRV says C3 (there are no MIDI note numbers in the PRV, just the standard piano keys).

Same for the kick: AD2 says note 36, key C1. So, for example, the AD2 keyboard replica is indicating the open snare hit is Midi note 38 and the key on the keyboard is D1. Every AD2 note is off by two octave ranges compared with Sonar's PRV, where I can see the MIDI notes AD2 is generating in the PRV grid. I can go into its Map Window and see which kit pieces are triggered by which MIDI note on a keyboard replica. Help! Addictive Drums 2 MIDI Note ranges/numbers off compared with Sonar PRV?
