That’s interesting to hear that- why then are our super duper tcs silicon Yamaha pads not the market leaders?
mesh still seems to be king out there?
Well, they are the market leaders in that no one else offers a 3-zone pads, with no hot spots out-of-the box, with on board pad controllers, on-board level output adjusters, etc apart from Yamaha. Not to mention the pad feel etc. (This also applied to Yamaha's rubber pads, which again were market leading....)
Mesh is cheap - bit of door screening and a piezo - so implemented by many manufacturers (to varying degrees of success, obs).
Roland users - like Apple users - shout a lot more - so there's a "I'm going to buy a kit - it must be mesh as I've heard it's the best"
And, of course, Yamaha is really cr*p at marketing, even thought it's the largest instrument manufacturer
