EZdrummer Help

  I have made a simple program that converts an EZdrummer generated MIDI file to a General MIDI one.

  As you know, EZdrummer has way more articulations than the limited range of general midi, so information is lost by doing this. But it is how to play an EZdrummer track with Logic drumkits.

  So as it is, I just made the program, so there’s not a “proper distribution” yet. But it’s a very simple script: 1 Install Perl (strawberryperl.com for windows, apt for linux, homebrew for mac, etc.), then 2 install the MIDI CPAN module (https://metacpan.org/pod/MIDI), then 3 save this program on your machine, and 4 run it with perl and an exported EZdrummer MIDI file. Then you can import the converted file, “ezd2gm.pl.mid”, into Logic Pro and switch-up the built-in drumkits.

  I would of course, have preferred that Logic Pro “magically” did this on drag-and-drop, between tracks. But Perl to the rescue!

  Hope this helps. Peace!
