Love my Erae2 midi controller, using Ableton SD3 and Chromaphone3 plugins

I'm a newbie, but gigged for the first time last Saturday with it. Freaking amazing. Here are the layouts:

  1. My full SD3 ekit (kick, snare, three toms, closed HH, open HH, ride, crash, China, cowbell and tambourine)
  2. SD3 Octobans, rototoms, bongos and a kick with metal rattlers
  3. A C Major keygrid connected to a Chromaphone3 synth keys
  4. A single Chromaphone3 Future Tam pad
  5. A single Chromaphone3 Drum from a Lost Tribe pad
  6. SD3 percussion: bongos, shaker, key rattle, tambourine and some clanky thing
  7. A single Chromaphone3 East Asian Low Drum pad
  8. SD3 toms: high, mid, low racks and two floor toms

Gigging hybrid for the first time

So I've played my acoustic kit and been told it's too loud. I've played my ekit and missed the dynamics of my snare and cymbals. So, how about the best of both worlds?

I've got an acoustic kick, snare, hi hat, ride, splash and crash, then added my Erae2 midi controller with eight layouts:

  1. My full SD3 ekit (kick, snare, three toms, closed HH, open HH, ride, crash, China, cowbell and tambourine)

  2. SD3 Octobans, rototoms, bongos and a kick with metal rattlers

  3. A C Major keygrid connected to a Chromaphone3 synth keys

  4. A single Chromaphone3 Future Tam pad

  5. A single Chromaphone3 Drum from a Lost Tribe pad

  6. SD3 percussion: bongos, shaker, key rattle, tambourine and some clanky thing

  7. A single Chromaphone3 East Asian Low Drum pad

  8. SD3 toms: high, mid, low racks and two floor toms

I'm just going to try stuff and see what works.

Anyone else play hybrid?
