ok...im contemplating buying the Roland TMC6 drum trigger converter, it has six trigger inputs...but only 1 MIDI OUT..and i have a MIDI IN on my Delta 1010, so...will this one MIDI input send all 6 trigger tracks into my computer as MIDI seperate tracks?

just make sure the miked sound and the triggered sound comliment each other. And actually, you'd be surprised how often this is done :-)

well...when it comes down to like...drum rolls and whatnot...how exactly does this work? or doesnt it? cause i imagine it must be real difficult for the trigger to pick up each individual hit...ya know? and also...where would i go about getting the sounds id like to have triggered? or am i just better off making them myself?

Why don't you use the D-trig software, and use
8 drum pads connected directly into your 1010?

You won't have to waste any money on a TMC6.

yeah kiss your ghost notes and soft rolls good bye, then only triger i've ever seen that can handle it is the mesh heads from roland...triggers are just pads that basically send MIDI info to a drum module (brain) and that "triggers" the brain to play the sound.

Yes, if not better, because it has many adjustments,
and it will work with mounted triggers and drumpads.
If you mean "loss of quality" of triggering,
then the answer is definately NO.
