Drum or MIDI tutorial
- Connect electric drums to PC. I use Roland UM-ONE MK2. MiDi to USB cable.
Take MiDi out part of cable and plug in your drum "brain". Mine Drums are Roland TD-4, has only MiDi out connector.
Run midi_data (in phase shift folder) to check note detection.
If you have similar like me, you are good to go, no matter the numbers they can be adjusted too.
Optional, generate custom tone setup. Download:

Thanks to djlastnight - PsMidiProfiler
Detect Note off unchecked.
Click with mouse, button detect, play note that you want asign.
After asigning notes, click Generate Phase Shift Midi Profile. (Don't have double bass, that's why I left it on 0).
Copy all text. Go to: phaseshift/settings/midi_profiles.ini (Open as Text Document) and paste text.
You are ready to play drums :D
If you done everything right and with themes installed, you should get something like this:
Press Tab or Enter to choose midi link. And V or Enter to confirm.
When I play a note, it turns green. Choose MiDi link.
My custom made controls.
After confirmed midi link, now you can control and choose drumming :)
If you experience double note hits or middle not "your" hits, try:
Detect Note Off set unchecked.
Don't use HiHat for now, it uses control change midi message, which screws yellows.
