Solved - Roland td-9 mapping and triggering Addictive drum 2 not working.

[cwdesigns]

Using Cakewalk 29, Addictive drum 2, Roland td-9,Focusright Clarett interface,WIN 10. I've already got tracks separated, Can play the notes with the midi controller, Drums and keys (midi control)  go through merg box. Have signal from drums to interface. Have signal from interface to pc ( midi controller only) Installed from creative sauce the AD2 drum map. Nothing seems to work to get the drums to trigger any sound. This is also true for GGD drums. If I turn the local or what ever it is in the roland brain to get the roland sound that works with headphones out,roland sounds only. One vid has me turning it off to use the AD sound. 2 years ago it was extremely easy to map and get sounds. I figure something is not ticket or checked or maybe it is and needs unchecked ?  Youtube vids don't help much. Thank you.

You never mention if you've actually selected Roland TD-9 as Map Preset in AD2. If not, go to the hamburger menu in the upper-right corner of AD2, select the menu option Map Window and then in the Map Preset drop-down, select Roland > TD-9.

No effect, GM, AD2 ,TD-9. Nothing worked. It's been months since powering up the TD-9 it didn't do much until I did factory reset on the brain.

UPDATE - since the standalone has the audio & midi button. Was able to adjust settings in there and able to hear the sounds and map the sounds to the roland pads. However when opening AD2 in cakewalk,can't see the midi triggering,can see the signal in the interface and merger. I've been using the creative sauce how to setup AD2 in cakewalk youtube vid. 2 years ago no problems at all , now no midi signal.

Solved - The problem was always in cakewalk I had a feeling as such. In Preferences,MIDI,Devices,inputs and outputs,both set to keystation 61 or midi keystation 61,after testing each one individually,keeping them both checked but this time checked my interface usb midi. Apply. Got out of that scrolled down to Projects - Midi,outports and send midi outports,keystation 61,midi keystation 61 and my interface all checked,apply, close and it all works.

@cwdesigns - I was wondering..were you able to get your TD-9 fully functional in Addictive Drums 2?

I just hooked up my TD-9 through a midi cable with my audio interface (also a focusrite Clarett) to Addictive Drums, but I am unable to get the chokes working on the cymbal and ride, and I am unable to get the pedal working properly on the hihat. The hihat only gives me a closed HH sound, no matter if I use the pedal or not.

I have got the TD-9 selected in Addictive Drums 2, and even tried mapping it manually, but then I end up with the HH shaft always giving an open HH sound (until I push on the pedal, but if I then hit the shaft again, the open HH sound returns, even when the pedal is still pushed all the way down), and then the tip hit giving a closed HH-sound, no matter the position of the pedal.

Have you figured out a way to be able to use the choke function on the cymbal and ride, and have you been able to get he HiHat and its pedal working properly in AD2?

If so, I'd love to hear how you've achieved that. Cheers!
