Using Roland TD-8 Drums to Control Reason by joshielevy
I have a TD-8, and here’s what I had to do to get it to properly trigger redrum.
1) I had to map the TD-8 notes to the ten notes on redrum
2) For the hihat, I had to use a utility to translate the midi control messages into notes: GMDrums2AD.So now I can trigger redrum with the TD-8, though I have to say, with the latency and lack of expression on the redrum vs. the TD-8, I rarely use it this way ..honestly, I feel more comfortable creating grooves using a little midi drum pad, or recording the TD-8 into Reaper, then transferring the midi over to reason, which is kind of a hassle, but works.

There is quite simply no better way to get a pro sounding drum mix than mixing each mic individually on a pro-level console.
