Hey MrM, have you worked out how to assign the pads to trigger different drum sound in BDF yet using the yamaha dd55?
I've just got one and I'm learning how to customise it.
N.B. I'd rather customise BFD and leave the DD55 in it's default factory setting incase it runs out of batteries and looses all its settings.
BFD for free (well almost)

Hi Mr. Tingle.
It's fairly easy; use MIDI OX and MIDI Yoke.
I'm using Logic, and this sequencer requires that you
disable either the input or the output of a virtual midi port.
I connected the DD-55 to my ESI M4U (MIDI to USB), installed MIDI Yoke (and disabled the some outputs in win.ini), installed MIDI OX and used the M4U as input and the Yoke as output.
Now, if I play the snare, and I use the right mapping, the snare can do any midi note I want it to do.
If this sounds to complicated ; I'm thinking of devoting a page on my website to explain with pictures and sample mapping for a few drum plugins. That will get you started.

I'd thought you could program bfd to change which midi notes trigger the sounds.
Any guides on midi setup would be well received I'd of thought.

I'm already using OX for other drum VSTi's, so it would be logical (for me) to continue walking this path.
I haven't read any of the BFD manual yet, so I don't know.

mm, e-drumkit question, will the hats work with my hihat pedal?
(even just a pale crossfading between closed & open tip is ok...yes, survival can adapt to some humiliating practises)
please,please,please.

The problem is that BFD has 5 different snare type hits and 4 HiHat hits in each kit.Mr. Tingle wrote:I'd thought you could program bfd to change which midi notes trigger the sounds.

So if you asign 5 pads for the snare alone you are running out of pads.
With MIDI-OX I create 4 diferent layouts:
Snare
HiHat
Toms
Cymbals
and I layer them one by one.
This also helps me because I am not a drummer and can't get the feet/hand coordination anyway.
I can post the MIDI-OX presets if anybody is interested.
I also highly recommend purchasing real drum sticks and not using the "light toy sticks" that came with the unit.
I personally prefer 5A nylon tip sticks.
