on pc millennium 1000 with Addictive Drums 2 it's ok but I don't want to take the pc off to play, there is a possibility to somehow put it on usb and install it in the module the sounds from Addictive Drums 2
1) If I want to add extra floor tom and 2 extra cymbals like splash and a china ,do I have to use a splitter cable ? ..2) If I have 2 connected modules a(Millennium1000 and a 850 thru aux and headphones insert between the 2 modules to add more toms and cymbals ,if thats better ) Can I then still use ableton program and use VST drumsounds when running 2 modules and how to connect them to a pc /laptop? 3) What are the direct out behind the Mp1000module used for ,as I see you have a load of jackstick comming out from it ( what are all these jack direct out connected to ? ..thx
Hello Simmon, I still can't decide, what should i buy. If you have a choice, Will you buy mps 850 or 1000? If I buy it I want to use vst ssd5. I hope, that there will be no latence problems.
Hi Martin. I would go with the MPS-1000 because of the look and playing feel. It just feels so much better to sit behind a real kit. As far as i know there were no latency problems when it comes to using VST Plugins.
thanks, but how about EZ drummer, how do you map in there? And are there any latency issues? in MPS-850 there were a regular MIDI in/out, but in MPS-1000 there is only USB MIDI. When i tried to connect with only USB midi with my DDrum DD1 i got latency, so i bought a Presonus Audiobox and plugged the drums into that and then USB from it to computer, and that way i got rid of latency. But if you connect MPS-1000 do you use ASIO4ALL or what do you use?
Hi Niklas. I didn’t have any latency issues while recording within Logic or Ableton and I just used the USB MIDI Cable and nothing else. And with EZ Drummer it’s the same as within Superior or Addictive. You can find the midi maps in the settings. I can send you a picture later today.
How do you actually connect the module to your computer though? You probably run a cable from the midi port on the back of the device to the usb A port on your laptop, right? Do you need any other cables for, for example, ableton to work with the module? If yeah, which? And what kind of cable do you need that plugs into the midi output? It's obviously not a 5 pol midi cable. Is it simply a usb 2.0 cable? Kinda loooks like it, atleast in my memory right now. Does anybody know this? I can't find it nowhere....
So i have two questions. I saw this video about him having problem with the hihat if you look timestamp 3:05 in the video. The second question is, how do you map differrent sound to for example the ride (with 3 zones) in EZ drummer? So you get three different cymbal sounds from EZ drummer on the ride cymbal?
Hey Niklas. The hi-hat control is always a thing with e-drums. Some work better some not. Did you watch our e-drum connectivity video? Maybe that helps. Let me know if not! //Simon
@@ThomannsDrumBash thanks for your reply but does the hihat control om mps1000 have this problem that he is showing in his youtube video or is it just his hihat that has that problem?
@@joyster75 In this case it is just my problem when i used the kit inside of Ableton with the drum rack sampler. You shouldn't have the problem while using EZ Drummer //Simon
Hi Salvatore. As far as i know it works pretty well. It depends if you play some really fast hi-Hat rolls or fills. Then it could be that it sometimes skips a beat but other than that it works great //Simon
@@ThomannsDrumBash 4:23 You can see multiple times that the hihat dosen't register your lifts when testing out the Effect Chain. Is this because of multiple video takes that dosen't sync with video, or is it maybe an indication that the hihat is poor?
Can I make it work with Logic's built-in drum sounds? Logic just has mapping presets for the big names like Roland. I'm not sure if I can even do a custom mapping.
Hola! Tengo un gran problema y es que cuando enchufo el USB me pone"no se reconoce dispositivo USB" tengo un Windows XP SP2 . Anteriormente tenía Alesis DM10 y no tenía ningún problema.He probado de todo! hay algún truco,programa que pueda reconocer el controlador de la batería USB sin tener que cambiar de sisteo operativo? Agradecería alguna solución por favor estoy desesperado!muchas gracias!
I HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM AND I NEED HELP. I bought the mps 1000 and my problem is the following. i used to have a td17 and there was an option within the module settings to block all module sounds to be able to use the module as an interface essentially. WHERE IS THIS FUNCION LOCATED IN THE MPS 1000??? I plug the module throu midi and it still triggers the sounds from the module itself. i used to play comfortably using td17 and this module doesnt have any apparent function to be disabled.it triggers the hits within sd3 but it playes the drum sounds. also, im not able to select the module itself to be able to hear thru the headset plugged into the module while im playing sd3.
Hi Rodrigo. After a little bit of research i have to tell you that there is no such function on the module of the MPS-1000. To hear VST sounds only you have to plugin your headphones into your Computer instead. Sorry //Simon
@@ThomannsDrumBash HI Simon, thanks for your help! I guess that, if I want to play the MPS1000 in a show with VST sounds, I will not be able to use the direct out connections of the module, right? In that case, I don't know if there is any solution to send separate lines (bass drum, snare, etc) from the computer to the sound engineer. Any help? Thank you 🙏🏻
@@Sephidrums Hi. You can use a Multioutput Interface and root the individual outputs of your VST onto the Outputs of your Interface. Then maybe your sound engineer can do a Multichannel Mix with that? //Simon
Out of curiosity, Can these still be played as acoustic in the event of software failure or sampler issues during a live performance ? Or they’re vegetables when not plugged in ….?
@@siim1129 no need for this kind of silly response. It wasn’t even addressed to u. It’s not your video so if you have nothing sensible to offer keep quiet. I was asking about the drums cos it’s been mentioned they used mesh. In case you don’t know, not everyone has the unit so it’s fair to ask questions about the item if someone has it. Next time think before you rush out to try and claim your 15 minutes of fame just cos you were trying to be funny or sarcastic or whatever it is you think your response was going to achieve.
Hi Harold. Unfortunately they can't be played as an acoustic set when there is a software failure because of the mesh heads. The don't have any sound. But if you bring some proper drumheads and you have enough time to change them it could work. //Simon
@@ThomannsDrumBash okay Simon. Thanks. We would soon order this unit. Since our drummer is in a big glass cage all by himself we can keep maybe 2 cymbals and a snare near him. Just in case. He plays very loud so eventually a change was built to minimize the loudness. Maybe with this e drums, we can finally remove the cage.
@@ThomannsDrumBash Hi Simon, thank you very much for your reply. I would like to record the sound emitted from the electronic drums using garage band from the iPad. Do you know any way to do this? Would I need some cables?
Hi @@TheGiabo1 . If your iPad connector ist Midi-USB capable you can use this to record Midi. What connector are you using to record onto the iPad? I also found this article which could be helpful: www.macworld.com/article/223880/keep-it-reel-make-your-ipad-into-a-professional-recording-studio.html
Hi. I really like your videos, especially the collaborations with the hot female drummers! Whats the amber display dba meter you have in the background? It’s really cool and I’d like to know more about it including where to buy.
What about the cost of all these "add-ons"?, You must have deep pockets! Why take not a simple audio sample from a record, put it on a USB key and add it to one of the triggers on the kit using free Audacity software. That would be a simple and free example for people who do not have the budget or software skills above.
You said that the tutorial was to show us how to connect? What happened to installing the driver? What driver do we need? ASIO4ALL or a bespoke Driver? Come on guys, if your going to do a tutorial, stop making assumptions that everyone knows what to do. Take it from the start. :-)

Hi Simon, love your videos! Is it possible to use my own wav files on the module via USB?
Hi. Sorry for the late reply. You can import your wav files onto the module or connect your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth to it. //Simon
If I use this setup on a live setting (i.e. church), would there be any delay or latency?
Hi Lucy. I don’t think so. I didn’t have any latency issues while checking out the kit. //Simon
