Hi,

you can load EZdrummer 2 as a plugin in Reaper, so you can record the MIDI directly into Reaper while listening to the EZdrummer 2 sounds.
Please download the Demo, to try it out. There is one Yamaha E-drum MIDI preset, I am not sure how much the dtx900 could differ in mapping but I guess Yamaha would be pretty consistent.

Yea I downloaded the demo. Damn I wish this worked. I absolutely loved the interface and the sounds…and it played my midi almost perfect except one crucial point…the open hats play as open close..which sucks cause there is no fix…and I couldnt seem to get it into reaper…damn I would be all over this extra expansion packs and all. Then I read I could probably get it to work in Superior 2,,,but wow do the stock sounds suck. Because Im new to VSTis to start I don’t want to shell out almost $300 to start…Id have to buy SD2 then a pack like New York vol 3 or EZ drummer 2..I guess Ill have to keep looking. Its too bad you guys dont offer a midi learn on this or 2 or 3 yamaha versions. Id even pay for it a few bucks for an extra update or something. Now I guess its gonna have to be BFD and I hate their GUI..its too complex..Thanks for your help John. email me if you guys do some sorta upgrade.

I have a dtx 900 also. You could create a user kit in your module mimicking the ezd2 mapping. That’s one way around it. I’m all for dedicated Yamaha mappings though.

Gmont..have you done this? Do you use Ezd2? Cuz seriously i love the ease of use its way less complicated than BFD3. The other issue tho..when i installed i put it in my vsts but it diesnt show in reaper. How do you get it from dtx into your computer i am using a steinberg .ur22 audiio interface.i think i may have a routing issue too. Damb i ove the sound..is ezd2 expandabke?

hi – i use USB from the DTX into my computer and play from there. Install the Yamaha MIDI driver to do that

I use Reaper for testing, Cubase is my main DAW. As long as I had the proper VST folder set up, Reaper always finds my VSTis.

Yes I use EZD2. I also use most drum VSTis. I like to play around with everything!
