Its not missing. As good as all our sound libraries have the same basic
MIDI mapping. When it comes to the cc-controlled hihat it is:
hatsTrig: 7, 18
hatsTipTrig: 8, 19
hatsBellTrig: 9, 20Exceptions are Electronic and Percussion that don’t have hihats.
Thanks a lot!!! I’ll check this. I would not have started this post (and tested for several hours) if I could find this documented in the EZX keyboard layout…but there is nothing written about these articulations and midi notes. Why??????

Sounds like you have a big, “non-standard”, e-drum kit, which you are happy
to change the MIDI mapping for. In that case you don’t really need the EZ2
e-drum modes. They do not make any new articulations available in the MIDI
mapping. They only change some MIDI notes into others.
…but what about the missing variable hihat edge I mentioned?? Let´s take EZX Metal Machine for an example. Please tell me which midi note triggers the variable hihat tip and which one the variable edge?? (when not having set any e-drum mode)
I cannot find anything like that in the MM keyboard layout. I thought I had to switch to “Roland” mode to get this variable e-drum hats!.
So not having a variable tip and edge is really out of the question for a modern drum software (even if it’s EZy).
PS:

I need Roland mode because of the hihat ( because there is no midi note mapped for variable edge -like in SD2- but only for vatiable tip (HH Variable – midi note 20 = G#-1).
-> amendment: G#-1 is only the variable tip for the EZD2 stock libraries.
ok, thank you very much!
Of course I was in “Roland”-edrum mode as an e-drummer with a Roland drumset… But I wonder why these two slots are not mapped or assignable in Roland mode…

Are you looking to fix it up after recorded or while?
Here is some info on the logical editor (not sure if it is included with Cubase Artist.)

The MIDI plugin is probably easier though. Cubase is great for MIDI manipulation.
I’m looking to fix it up while e-drumming in real time.
The Cubase MIDI plugin “Transformer” is the tool for this and it works great. It is included with Cubase Artist. So I have to buy this DAW if Toontrack is not improving EZD2 for the demands of e-drummers.
The only thing that I think is very hard to set with the MIDI pugin is the mixing of bow and edge:
@Arno.Meyer said:
it would be really the most perfect if there was the option to mix the “tight” and the “closed” sounds for both pad areas (bow and edge):
For example having a “closed” bow sound and a “tight” edge sound for foot position fully down…
It would be really nice if EZD2 could implement this! 
…oh, I know now what you mean: Cubase tools (midi-inserts) like “transformer” or “input transformer” (they have to work in real time).
Yes, they were there – included in my old 32 bit “Cubase Essential 4” – version.
My new 64 bit version is “Cubase Elements 7” (regarding the price it is the new renamed “Essential” version), and guess what?! : Midi-inserts have been removed.
So I have to pay another 153,- Euro to get the “Artist 7.5” version only for this feature.
So I ask you, the Toontrack developers: Do I really have to?
Or will my requested EZD2 feature be implemented soon???
Dear developers, please give me an answer.
Thank you.
