Hi. Just wanted to keep you up to date. Before I received your reply, I overzealously completed a bomes translation table based on the information in one of your MTN videos. The pads are set up according to the formula, 5,7,5,7 and 4,4,4 up. I’ll send you an excel table that I created to make sure it’s cool. But, it sounds nice.
I’m in the process of creating a video taking users through the process of obtaining and installing the bomes software, and then how to use the table that I created, in DAW environments.
I also created a BFD3 preset and key map that uses the entire novation grid for a six tom, many cymbal configuration, that even includes rim shots on some of the toms, and cymbal choking for two of the crashes. It employs the snares and basses on both the bottom rows and the top rows, and places the toms and cymbals in the center (we are talking top to bottom here), so that there is easy and agile access to the whole kit at all times. It actually turned out quite nice. But, I do need to practice a little to get used to the bass and snares at the top. I already got used to playing them at the bottom. I can tell already that it will allow very proficient playing on a kit that allows all the realism of the rims, side sticks, and chokes.
I will do a little video on that, too, explaining how to load the preset and use the keymap.
For both projects, I’ll be youtubing them and providing links to the bome translator file, and the key map and preset for BFD.
