Hi Everyone. I am fairly new to EZ Drummer and thus far I really like it! Super easy to use and the included grooves are great. I have been looking into purchasing a MIDI Controller keyboard to use for adding string sections to my songs and also create some drum fills or patterns that I have in my head and where the induced grooves are not what I need. I am using Pro Tools 10 on a mac pro running with Snow Lep.
My question is, can I use a MIDI keyboard to trigger and record the EZ drummer sounds in Pro Tools 10? Meaning I can say, record my own drum fill, then save it as a MIDI file for future use in a new song? Or maybe just record the fill and use it in my current project? Not sure if this is possible and I don’t want to purchase a controller and then find out I cant do what I am try to accomplish. I was looking at a simple entry level controller under the $200 price range. I don’t need anything that expensive as I am not a “beat” producer. I record mostly rock music and I just want to be able to add a custom fill or pattern when needed.
I know I can use the pencil tool and draw in the custom fill in PT but it would be easier to just tap it out on a keyboard.
Thank you in advance for your help!
