I cannot figure out how to make my Keystation 49e to work with EZDrummer.
I've got EZDrummer to find the Keystation. I just can't figure out how to assign keys. Help? |

Hmm, I used to use EZDrummer a lot but never tried assigning it to my keyboard.
Now I use Superior Drummer and its VERY easy to map the midi to my keyboard (though i still dont like to use it). I also have an M-Audio keyboard (Oxygen) so the mapping would probably be the same. This post has been edited by TylerT: May 9 2011, 12:01 PM -------------------- My Website

The keys should already be assigned through GM map. What DAW software are you using?

Sorry for not being clear my friend. Inside a recording software (aka DAW, examples would be Cubase, Logic, Nuendo, ProTools, Abletone Live etc.) EZDrummer behaves as a plugin. It plays what it hears on the MIDI track.
EZDrummer is compatible with GM map. What this means in simple terms is that C1 note is kick, C#1 is rimshot, D1 is snare, etc. If you open MIDI track in DAW software, and if you set the input on that track to be your MIDI keyboard controlled, and if you set the output to EZDrummer - then it should work by default. Then you can record what you play as well. This is the only way I used EZDrummer or any other drum plug before, never used it in standalone version, so not sure what to do then. hope it helps, Ivan -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Hmm...Well, thanks for clarifying - I learned something. Yeah, I have no DAW except Audacity. I don't know if it works with MIDI though. It imports MIDI...

Why don't you install Reaper, it's free without many limitations and I think it supports VSTs. http://www.reaper.fm/ This post has been edited by Bogdan Radovic: May 9 2011, 08:55 PM -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Here is one of the ways to make it work. Sorry if there is a mistake, I'm not using Reaper, just keeping it installed to help members:
- Open Reaper - Right-click on the track pane (choose "Insert Virtual Instrument on new track...") - Choose the EZDrummer on the list of VST instruments - Click on a small speaker icon on that track in the bottom-left corner - In the drop-box menu on the bottom of the track find your keyboard controller and choose it for MIDI input That should work. Let us know if it does. Perhaps there could be a problem if Reaper doesn't recognize the keyboard. If this is the case, we'll try to eliminate all the possibilities for a problem. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

QUOTE (thefireball @ May 15 2011, 01:58 AM) I got it recognize my keyboard. There was quite a bit of latency. 185 ms. The thing is set at 8 x 1024 samples. I don't know what that is. Well I tried other sound samples inside Reaper and they all worked. I even recorded something from my mic and it worked. But when I drag a sample into Reaper - monitoring button is pressed - there's no sound. However, there is some activity in the EQ. Weird...  If you see track being played in the EQ/Master Channel - try : when you have a track you want to listen to being played back try to de-press (disengage) the monitoring button to get the sound. I think that could work, depends a lot on the DAW as I don't have a lot of experience in Reaper. Also, make sure that you select the output of that particular midi track loaded with sample to be : EZ drummer VST.

You might experience latency issues with lower grade sound cards. QUOTE (thefireball @ May 15 2011, 01:58 AM) But when I drag a sample into Reaper - monitoring button is pressed - there's no sound.

Try to turn off monitoring, and it should be heard. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I use Nuendo, and it was pretty complex for me until I went through some cool video tutorials about it. Don't worry, in time, through practice, and through work you will get to know it. Check out this tutorial for setting up EZD in Reaper:

I'll check it out. I have been checking out your theory lessons and I am learning from these. I decided it's time to start learning theory. My eyes are opening to things I never knew about music! Last night I watched your Chord Basics.
