Using PC key as input rather than mouse

[sklynch]

Hi I’m currenly evaluting EZDrummer2 and so far I am very impressed.
I would like to know if :
a) it is possible to assign PC Keyboard key (instead of using the mouse) to trigger snare, base drum,floor tom tom and a couple of cymbals. Using the mouse I cant get the the right “feel” to the beat eg ” we will rock you” by Queen. The resulting beat is very dry or robotic.
b) how do I get the effect of using 2 sticks at the same time on the floor tom tom for instance.
I hope these questions are n’t too elementary but I’m new to this.
I will be buying the product shortly but at the moment I dont have a midi keyboard.

Thanks, SL

I just started using my “VIRTUAL” keyboard in reaper to trigger my drums…It is easier than pulling out my midi keys lol So hope that might point you in the right direction…Also for the dble hits you can do that live with your virtual keyboard, many of the triggers have more than one place on the keyboard so you use two fingers (instead of sticks (-:) Also in your midi editor you can just add another midi note for your toms (or any other drum) very close to the hits you want and adjust the timing to get your desired effect…Hope that helps a bit…

Cheers, jeff
