Hello- Brand new to this crazy and interesting world of eDrums.
I’m most certain the answer is “Yes”, but before I put down the money…
Is it easy to get my DTXtreme III kit (upgraded to DTX900) to basically plug and play with EZDrummer running on a Macbook air (i7, plenty of power). I just basically want to plug in and play.
Thx!
PS- Yup, I did a search first. Found lots of older stuff, nothing recent.

Hi,
if your Yamaha module is set to Yamaha standard, it is a matter of plugging the USB cable in, starting EZdrummer 2 and selecting the Yamaha E-drum MIDI Preset.

Very good. Wanted to make certain and thank you!

This is exactly what I use. Have fun!
Intel 13900K, Windows 11 , Cubase Pro 13.0.30, Studio One 6.2.1.64495, 64GB RAM, UA Apollo x4 and UA Apollo X8 Thunderbolt,, 64 sample buffer size, Radeon 570, 42″ 4k monitor
MIDI controller: Roland A-37, Jamstik Studio, MCU Pro + expander
Drum Brain: Yamaha DTX 900, RHH135 hihat, 2 crash and 1 ride cymbal, 4 toms.
Glad to read others are using this setup.
I haven’t been able to get it to work yet. Installed EZD2, selected Yamaha under eDrums midi, and the module isn’t triggering the software. I installed Yamaha’s driver for OS X and plugged the DTX900 into the mac via USB.
Any tips? Thx!

In Settings > Audio/MIDI Setup, did you put a check mark in the box for your MIDI Device?

Howdy- Thanks for the tip. Tried that with no luck. Will to try and reset the module and see what happens. Will report back later today.
Thx!

Yes! Got it to work. I had to go into the DTX module and select USB as the MIDI port out.
Everything works except that toms 1 and 2 on my DTX are both triggering tom 2 in ezdrummer. I’ll have to figure out how to map everything correctly.
This is awesome! Can’t wait to start playing!
Thanks for the help!

Check that your module sends note #48 (alternatively #81) on Tom 1.
Don’t think the 5 Toms in EZdrummer 2 are Yamaha standard, IIRC but changing that note should trigger the 1st.

Thanks for the help. It took remapping the keys on a few of the toms within the DTX900. All mapped out and working great.
Thx again! Great forum.

Wow! I now have everything working. Once I figured out the mapping, it works like magic. The EZDrummer samples are fantastic. This has opened up an entirely new world for me as an eDrummer. Very excited!
Great product.
