Since Dmitri will probably soon implement support for positional sensing, I thought it could be a good idea to get a list of the few compatible softwares.

I know BFD2 supports PS for snares

But what other choices do we have?

I tried to figure out if "NI Battery 3" also suported it, but I'm not quite sure.
Here's what I found about it :

since this function generates a Midi CC Value, one could use the "Cell Activation"-Function in Battery. There you can define, under which conditions a Cell is triggered ("Note on/Off" and up to two conditions). The available conditions are: Always, On Key (Keyrange), On Controller (CC and Range), Cycle Round Robin and Cycle Random.
So the "On Controller"-Condition should be the way to go.

I dont think that's how BFD2 handles it! Or does it?

You also have Toontrack Superior 2.0 with pos. sensing on some snares.

With battery 3 you can define your own positional sensing pads, but you have to make your own samples for that. For example you can use a snare sound for the center, and for the edge you can use this same snare sound but processed with some effects to make it sound as an edge hit sounds...

BFD2 and Superior 2 have real recorded edge samples you you don't need to do any tweaking, only define the CC threshold to trigger the ccenter or the edge

Does "Ocean Way Drums" support PS?

The V-Drum Map

The V-Drum Map has been carefully programmed to work with Roland´s TD-20 V-Drums® electronic drum kit. It offers a high level of real performance variations and a comfortable range of positions for each instrument within the kit. It's loaded with a multitude of samples, which makes for great dynamics and serious playability.

Features
Wide dynamic range
Alternating "round robin" hits - avoids the "machine gun effect"
3 positions for the snare - center, edge and rim
2 positions for the toms - center and edge
9 positions for the hi hat - from foot and closed to open
3 positions for the cymbals - center, edge and bell
Key switching on the V-Drum brain - can change pre sets "on the fly"

Does "3 positions for the snare - center, edge and rim" necessarely means it does support PS?
