how do you use SD midi files, and VEP?

[gdman]

Hi, first post… hope it’s in the right spot…

I work with Logic 9 (Mac), with VE Pro 4 on a pc slave. I’m confused about how you use the midi files… I want to install the SD and samples on the pc, but are the midi files not rendered pretty much useless? The midi has to be on a Logic track, which triggers the SD on the pc… I know that on one machine, I can either trigger the midi within SD, or drag the midi to a track in Logic, but on two machines, what is the way to use the files? Where can I find out about it?

Thanx

Hi, thanks for the response…

Actually, I have VEP working with Kontact, Play, Omnisphere, and have installed SD, which are all working fine.
I can play SD from the keyboard, record the midi notes, and play back everything, and all is well there.

My question is all about utilizing the midi files with Superior Drummer… I play the SD off the keyboards, and as a drummer, I make a fine plumber…
One of the great selling points for me of SD and EZx’s is not only the samples, but the midi files, paired with EZ player…(which I have not installed on the pc)…
The midi files need to be on a track within Logic, do they not?

I’m starting to think I should re-authorize the EZx’s and SD on my Mac, so I can use EZplayer pro, work with the midi files until I have what I want, then switch over to SD on the pc, to work through VEP for all the reasons I use it…

Hope this makes sense, or am I doing too much crack?

You could install EZplayer Pro on the Mac to preview MIDI from the Mac to the VEP PC but then you would need the MIDI on the Mac as well. Superior 2 wouldn’t need to reside on the Mac but the Toontrack MIDI and EZX:s would.
