Piano Roll Maps for each kit for each EZ Drummer Pack

[Ann Roche]

Hello

I was wondering if ToonTrack supply diagrams that show how the various instrument samples are mapped for each “kit” for each pack.

As such visual references would be useful for people such as myself who use midi percussion pads to trigger the sounds that are contained within the various kits within the various packs in the EZ Drummer plug in.

The Visual Maps with the technical information such as the key note and instrument name.

Example. C1 – Kick Drum 1.

From what i can ascertain, the EZ Drummer plug in has the capacity to fit samples between C-2 and G 8.

Not that many packs use all these notes. However, it would be useful to know what keys are used on each kit / pack,

as if the sound are useful for a particular project, it would be good for the drummer to access the sounds.

Thanks.

They are accessible from the Menu dropdown in EZD2.

hello

thanks for your answer, i’m not sure what you mean by the image posted.

I do have the option to load up whatever pack i want within EZ Drummer, which loads the relative samples for each kit.

Although there is no literal visual layout. What i would perhaps expect for such a plug in is a layout like below:

with labels next to each key that gives the name of the sample / instrument used.

I guess an alternative to the piano roll, for cubase users, or perhaps a simple way to create such a map,

is to use the cubase drum editor to create a visual reference using the tailorable features in the drum editor (which i note is a also a really useful tool for drum programming too, even if it is a bit old school).

I was showing how to access the MIDI Layout pdf document for each EZD kit. They show the specific MIDI note layout for each kit. I thought that was what you were looking for.

If you’re looking for a MIDI editor like in a DAW like Cubase, EZD2 doesn’t have that function. S3, does have an editor.

If you’re looking for the MIDI layouts for each EZD2/EZX kit, they are in the Menu as pictured above.

Hello Scot

Thanks for your reply and yes, the layouts are what i was looking for.

Haven’t been using Toontrack for that long. (not in hours).

 

Sorry, i shouldn’t have been so lazy and read the manual.

The Midi layout maps are really useful for me at the mo, as i am presently building a home made drum pads with Arduino. So need to know what keys / channels / etc. to program them to send midi on.

Out of interest, i think a combo of a piano roll and a Cubase drum editor would be cool to integrate into your plug in, perhaps one with automation channels at the bottom, with facility to edit the automation and values, such as velocity etc. Although i guess that could also still be the duty of the DAW.

Thanks again
