Greetings from Western Australia!
Ju...Hey Robbneu<br /><br />Greetings from Western Australia!<br /><br />Just a quick note to say I got the DD-5 fixed just before I left the UK and I have just downloaded your NNXT patch to get it working with Reason. I connected the DD-5 via a Yamaha UX-16 Midi interface cable.<br /><br />I can vouch for the fact that the .sxt patch works 'cos I just tried it out!<br /><br />I can play all four samples on the pads just like you said, so thanks for that!<br /><br />I was hoping to record the midi patterns from the DD-5's pre-programmed sounds (which you can do with the RX-17) but the manual says the auto rhythm isn't output from the midi channel, so I started to re-program them from scratch myself!<br /><br />I have now created a Redrum, a Kong and a Dr Octo Rex that use the DD-5 samples and patterns/loops.<br /><br />I am also creating a few variations on each pattern.<br /><br />I'll post a link when its done at howtoprogramdrums(dot)com<br /><br />Thanks for the patch and the samples!<br /><br />Regards<br /><br /><br />NeilWebmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11756752088198572545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062995062162837423.post-47893526999218014832011-10-03T07:20:28.156-07:002011-10-03T07:20:28.156-07:00Neil... sorry I never responded to your comment. ...Neil... sorry I never responded to your comment. Sounds like we have very similar collections of black, plastic boxes! ;)<br /><br />isweartogod... glad you found this helpful. I'm always surprised by how little is actually on the internet about some of these machines, but I guess that's because everyone tends to concentrate on the 909s and 808s of the world. The DD-5 is a fairly lousy replacement for a 909, but it has a nice, viscral thrill the 909 can't match. Good luck!Patch-A-Day Robbneuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00604924245067628373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062995062162837423.post-969414975545851122011-10-02T11:57:44.053-07:002011-10-02T11:57:44.053-07:00I am one of the few that actually was trying to do...I am one of the few that actually was trying to do the exact same thing as you. I just bought a DD-5 at a Music Go Round about a month ago, and this weekend I finally tried plugging in the MIDI out to my computer. I got it solely for the purpose of using it as a drum pad Midi controller. So, I found your tutorial and patch extremely useful. I ran into all sorts of random, unrelated problems in the process, and assumed my DD-5 MIDI out was fried. Turned out my M-AUdio F410 MIDI in wasn't working, and my MIDI to USB cable wasn't working. I updated the drivers for the F410, and then it worked. I actually found out my DD-5 was working when I just plugged it into my MIDI keyboard, and had piano notes coming out.<br /><br />So yeah, long story, but I found your blog very useful, and it actually was exactly what I was trying to do.isweartogodifyoutouchmygijoesiwillskullfuckyouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408987755529423741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062995062162837423.post-90654306681956119952011-08-11T12:57:04.951-07:002011-08-11T12:57:04.951-07:00I have just started messing around with a DD5 and ...I have just started messing around with a DD5 and trying to connect it to Reason and Record. Unfortunately, I have just noticed it has a loose connection and will power off, So I need to get it fixed or open it up myself and do some soldering!<br /><br />When it works reliably I will return to your article and see if I can get it to work ok.<br /><br />By the way, since downloading your RX17 samples (Thank you) I have recently got my RX17 working with Reason and Record. I have been playing some John Bonham beats! There's a nice video on Drummerworld with John's old 1971 Ludwig Green Sparkle Ludwig Kit where you could sample (for personal use only of course...)<br /><br />http://www.drummerworld.com/Videos/johnbonhamocheltree1.html<br /><br />I fed them into Redrum and Kong, and I can now play them (trigger them) with the RX17. It does sound pretty awesome! There's also some excellent videos on YouTube on Groovedrummin channel.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vcZmoAZb6cWebmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11756752088198572545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062995062162837423.post-45701667640291483422010-07-18T19:27:51.747-07:002010-07-18T19:27:51.747-07:00Interesting suggestion, Eric.

Unless you mean that not having to adjust the sample length is the inherently better aspect, but its an interesting take on it regardless.
