    Okay, so no help with this issue here. Confused Can anyone at least confirm for me that this DTXtreme iis kit will definitely work with SD2, and that SD2 has “complete” midi mapping capabilities to custom map this kit to work properly?

    FWIW I use a DTXpress III and remap within the brain. Not sure if the DTXtreme IIS works the same way. SD2 has MIDI mapping and learn capabilities.

    Thanks Brad for the reply. Apparently the IIS does not have mapping in the brain (confirmed by Yamaha) but the III does. Can anyone confirm that the mapping and learn functions in SD2 will make this kit usable? I hate to spring an extra $250 for SD2 just to find out that it won’t work with this kit.

    Take a quick look at this YouTube video that explains mapping in SD2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh7Re9tWexU

    Well, after much frustration trying to get this Yamaha kit to work with EZD2, I have finally concluded that it is simply just not possible. I don’t need or want to spend the extra cash for SD2, so this Yamaha Kit is (sadly) being returned. I guess all of our recordings are going to have to be done with newer kits, and probably Roland 🙁

    I have the DTXtreme IIS and am using EZ Drummer 2. I installed the Yamaha USB/Midi Driver. I am using Windows 10. After installing the driver you should be able to Choose the Driver as the input. I plugged the USB cable directly from the module into my computer.  Select ALL as the Midi Receive Channel and Yamaha in eDrums setting. You will need to adjust the midi note information on the module for each trigger to match the specific drum in EZ Drummer.
