Very informative.. Thank you.. But i have a problem of loading my backing tracks maybe i save it on a different format? They're not being recognised when i try to load the sd card. I bounce it from the logic pro.
Thanks for the video! I just purchased the tm2 with 1 dual zone snare trigger and a kick trigger and Roland trigger bar. My band currently uses an iPod for playing backing tracks however I'm wanting to simplify and use the tm2 for this. How would I setup to have multiple songs/backing tracks for live and be able to still have different sounds assigned to triggers and bar for each song?
You can do that but you will only be able to use your snare trigger as a single zone. The TM-2 only has 4 inputs. 2 of those inputs are used by the BT-1 and the other two can be used by two separate single zone triggers or one dual zone trigger. Here's a video with a similar setup but instead of the snare trigger I use an auxiliary kick pedal. th-cam.com/video/18VwpeJthAA/w-d-xo.html You would set up your connections like this linked video and then set up your patches as in the above video. Each patch would be a different song and you can change the backing track and the sounds attached to your triggers by navigating to different patches.
Do you create a different kit for every song in your set? I want to do something like this where I have 1 pad to launch backing tracks with click panned out R L and then another pad with one shot samples.
Hey Ehrin, great video. A question. Is there a possibility that after playing a backing track, the next one will be loaded directly, which I then just have to start? Or can you get to the next song by hitting the pad? Or do I always have to press my hand on the tm2 to go to the next song? Greetings from Germany
Yes. You use the same steps to assign the sound from the SD section and that will assign it to the pad/trigger and save it to the preset you are currently using.
I use Reaper. I create the backing track and pan everything to the right. Then I create a "drum" track that is just a stick click and pan that to the left. Render the track out at 16 bit, 44.1khz and load it on to the SD card. Let me know if this helps.
@@itz_vortex7341 per input. There are four total inputs, head and rim 1 and 2. Each of those four inputs can be assigned a MIDI note number for a total of four separate sounds triggered in EZ Drummer
Depending on the gig I use two different setups. For full in-ears, I use a Behringer X32 Rack. When we're using backline or have floor wedges, I run the click channel into a Behringer MicroMON MA400 so I can have click in my ears without it going to front of house.
Thanks so much!! been looking at ways to trigger backing tracks and already had TM2. Really awesome video on how to set that up
Great info, thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Very helpful!
great stuff man! thanks
Thank you!
so helpful thank you very much
Thank you!
Thanks!
Glad I could help!
Hi great tutorial thank you, my question is how do you delete an individual backing track from the sd card?
You insert the SD card into your computer and delete the file from there.

Make sure you format them as .WAV files, 16 bit, 44.1kHz sample rate.
@@ehrinlanthony thank you so much.

Yes, one patch per song in the set.

I have not found a way to change the backing track without pushing the plus and minus buttons to navigate to a different patch.
Can we load kick and snare samples via SD card and save it as one of the presets?
Yes. You use the same steps to assign the sound from the SD section and that will assign it to the pad/trigger and save it to the preset you are currently using.
Hi there what programme do you use to link your backing track and click track thanks
I use Reaper. I create the backing track and pan everything to the right. Then I create a "drum" track that is just a stick click and pan that to the left. Render the track out at 16 bit, 44.1khz and load it on to the SD card. Let me know if this helps.
hey ehrin, I notice the tm2 has midi in and out. Can I connect a midi cable from the tm2 to my interface and use ezdrummer? thanks
Yes. You can adjust the MIDI output per pad to match the sounds you want to trigger.
@@ehrinlanthony your a life saver man thanks a lot
@@ehrinlanthony can I ask? What do you mean by per pad?
@@itz_vortex7341 per input. There are four total inputs, head and rim 1 and 2. Each of those four inputs can be assigned a MIDI note number for a total of four separate sounds triggered in EZ Drummer
What mixer do you have?

th-cam.com/video/18VwpeJthAA/w-d-xo.html watch at 6:54 to see how I connect the MA400 to the TM-2
