MILLENIUM MPS 850 unboxing and sound test (preset + SSD5 Free Plug-in) 

🙂💪

Hi. Yes, you can do it. There are various methods to do this, some easier and some more articulate. You can connect the module to the pc ad use the default kit, but I usually use a midi configuration like in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GdIT3KpJHgI.html&ab_channel=SebastianoSabo However, I recommend another method very fast and easy. You can put the songs you like in a USB flash drive and insert it directly into the e-drum module. Then you can start the song and play on it. You can even record your performance and it will be automatically saved in the flash drive without the need of the pc.

Hi, I ordered the drums from Italy so they sent me the European plug

Just get an adapter man. They cost about 2USD.

hey thanks man, unfortunately I can’t give you a certain answer because I never tried to do it directly from the e-drum module but I read some comments where they said that this is possible. I personally can tell you that I do this job by connecting the module via midi to my laptop and in this way, with the use of plug-ins, I can have a more realistic sound. (Below the video I left a free drums plug-in which is not a bad start) In this case, however, you need a DAW (like logic pro, ableton, etc.) I also hate the default kits they are really fake. However I think that the Roland TD-17KVX, in terms of feeling, sound and precision is much better than the Millenium kit.

@@sebastianosabo Thank you for the reply :) Do you know if the millenium kit is compatible with better Roland Cymbals ? so that it is possible to upgrade the hi hat for example ? Do you get any feel of delay latency while playing thru the plug ins ?

@@dr_satan_ unfortunately I can't tell you if it is compatible with parts from other brands, it would be a great thing especially for the hi-hat and I've never had any kind of latency while playing

Thank you so much! Unfortunately, there is no way to improve the performance of the hardware itself, or at least, I'm not aware of it. The only improvement I can recommend is to use some plugins or vst to give your kit a more faithful sound to reality.

@@sebastianosabo ok. Thanks for the answer Sebastiano!👍

With a MIDI interface. I just connect the module with a usb cable to the computer then i record with LogicProX

Of course! I do the same but with a different plug-in.

@@sebastianosabo thanks

Hi, thanks a lot! :) unfortunately the e-drum does not come with an amplifier but you can use it with any type of headphones or amplifier. From this point of view it is very versatile. Personally I always use headphones because I am very happy with them. However, I recommend this product, it's so great for beginners.

@@sebastianosabo thank you, that was really helpful!!

You have to use with pc/laptop. You need a daw to open the plug-in. I use it on LogicProX but you can download similar daw for free

@@sebastianosabo Thanks for the helpful reply. I'm just wondering if I bought this kit would it be possible for me to upgrade parts of it over the years? For example if I wanted to upgrade the module/brain a couple of years from now would that be possible? Would I have to purchase a module that is of the same brand as the rest of the kit? Thanks

@@Brenners2010 unfortunately I can’t answer this question because I have never tried to do it, you could write an email to thomann’s customer service maybe they will give you a precise answer

Hi, it's not a stupid question, I think you can use any kind of speaker but for a better performance you should have a look on the thomann website in the "monitoring systems for e-drum" section and you will surely find a specific one. a few years ago I bought this speaker for e-drum: www.thomann.de/it/millenium_dm30_drum_monitor.htm?o=7&search=1604733316 (the brand is different but the speaker is the same) but I must tell you that I use it very little because I prefer to use headphones.

try to look at other sites too, maybe you find something at a lower price

@@sebastianosabo Thanks for the helpful reply! I'll look into the link that you've provided. Cheers :)

I personally have only heard open and closed. I think it is the fault of the poor quality of the hi-hat mechanism.

@@sebastianosabo THANKS I read elsewere that if you set it in the program as a rolland unit it works ,maybe give it a try , If you do tell me

9V direct current

i heard of a guy who did it but i haven't tried it so i can't confirm.

@@sebastianosabo ok thank you

yes, you can. I use a pearl eliminator double pedal and it works

@@sebastianosabo how is the double bass hits registry? Does it track triplets etc well?

@@adityabali1939 yes, it does it quite well. but remember it is a “cheap” product so you can find better

@@sebastianosabo I am a beginner so it is perfect for me

Rubbo thanks, the pedal started to work by itself, I didn't set anything in particular. If it doesn't work you could try to add a scripter and set it to "drum kit designer V-drum Compatibility" Let me know if it still doesn't work so I can put a video where I show you all my settings.

Rubbo or try to assign the pedal via MIDI mapping

@@sebastianosabo Can you show me how to do that? The pedal registrates in my daw, but it doesn't play "hi hat pedal" when i step on the pedal. It has the right mapping, it turns blue in SSD5 when i step on it. But it doesn't trigger any sound.. :/

Rubbo which DAW do you use?

@@sebastianosaboReaper. It seems like the Hi-Hat Control is connected with a Mono cable.

Thaks man, I confirm that this e-drums is not bad, but it would have been better to save the money and invest in a pro kit

I don't know, a case or bag is not included with this kit but maybe you can find some online.

Ciao grazie! Purtroppo no, non l’ho mai provata con GGD ma dovrebbe funzionare senza problemi

Allora in realtà i passaggi sono abbastanza semplici, poi ovviamente dipende da quanta dimestichezza hai, io comunque provo a dividerteli in fasi. -innanzitutto scaricati ed installa i VST che desideri -come hai già scritto tu, collega la centralina al PC con un USB -a questo punto apri la DAW che preferisci (per daw intendo programmi di registrazione multitraccia tipo Logic, Ableton, Audition ecc.. dai quali apri poi i vari plug-in o vst) e assegna il tuo kit come interfaccia di midi-in; in teoria la daw dovrebbe riconoscerla autonomamente -apri il VST e controlla se c’è bisogno di mappare i vari suoni sul kit o se combaciano già; per “mappare” intendo assegnare ai vari pad/piatti i suoni che desideri. Ci sono alcuni plug-in/vst che funzionano anche senza bisogno di una DAW però a mio avviso non sono molto comodi soprattutto se vuoi registrare.

Edit: non sonche tipo di pc o laptop hai ma per evitare problemi di buffer/latenza ti consiglio di avere almeno 16gb di ram

@@sebastianosabo grazie mille 👍😃

@@heldorashel75 figurati se ti va lascia un like ed iscriviti al canale

ouch, bad story. Bad gesture by thomann, this shows his lack of professionalism.

You could open the outer package and take the heavy party out like the hi hat and the rack and carry them seperstely upstairs if the package is too heavy

@@benni0012 thx. Good idea

i think it is quite tiring to carry without elevator, if you can get help or open the main box and carry one box at a time

@@sebastianosabo received. I tried to carry the box up to the second floor (it was tough, but ok) and from there I opened it and took all parts out separately to 3rd. Anyway , this kit is awesome.

@@peterhopqk Nice job man, i am glad you received the drums. You'll love playing it! Anyway, if you celebrate it, Merry Christmas. :)

Certo, sia su Mac sia su Windows

David Cote with LogicPro X was so easy, just connect the moldule to the pc and the game it’s done. If any sounds don't match, for example charlie, toms ecc..., you can assign them in the map section very easily.

David Cote I suggest you try the free version of SSD to see if it is right for you

@@sebastianosabo so just plugged in and everything was already mapped correctly?

No, the free version of SSD only has 3 kits if u want the complete version you have to buy it.

@@sebastianosabo oh but are the 3 free kits kind of good?

@@kermitthefrog3598 I liked them, you should try for a while and see if you like them too, they are free at most you uninstall them

Per quel che la uso si

@@sebastianosabo Dicono che il ch abbia problemi o ritardi... Io non ho pretese live o chissà cosa.... solo per divertimento pensi possa andar bene?

@@micheleastroboy diciamo che ha dei difetti, come ad esempio i suoni originali della centralina che fanno veramente pena, qualche volta i pad non sono precisissimi e il meccanismo del hi-hat. Per quanto riguarda i ritardi io non ne ho avuti, tra l’altro connessa al pc con vari plug-ins funziona a meraviglia.

@@micheleastroboy però alla fine, tutto sommato, valutando il prezzo e l’uso che uno ne fa per me va bene. Se hai la disponibilità economica prendi qualcosa di più affidabile.

Grazie! Si, purtroppo il charleston è un punto a sfavore su questa millenium
