Have you tried the MIDI bit in EZD Settings?

This is more of a mapping interpretation of your DAW than anything else. Most mappings are red as C – 2 to G8. so you probably have to transpose everything up to octaves. IOW, C0, which is normally the kick would probably be played in C2 on your DAW. Thus C# -2 is probably C# 0 in your piano roll.

Wow I was sure I’d exhaustively been thru the Piano Roll view but this morning I went back and sure enough clap, shaker, and tambourine are accessible down on C# 0, D 0, and D# 0. The basics are up 3 octaves: kick is C3, snare is D3, and rimshot is E3. Duh. Thanks for causing me to reexamine.

Oh and WRT Mick’s suggestion yeah I looked at the MIDI options on EZD. It apparently just can’t be a MIDI source as I never see it as an input on the track.

glad you got it figured out. Hopefully there’s a setting in your DAW that can display your MIDI in a more standard mapping. The way your DAW is mapped Middle C is more like C5 or C6, which would be confusing for any keyboardist especially when dealing with other DAWs and instruments.

Yeah and my Launchkey Mini just has a 2 octave keyboard and no UI to figure out where it’s transposed to. Man I know I spent an hour looking for how to trigger those extra percussion elements. I guess it’s like when I look in the fridge and can’t find something and then my wife comes in and it’s right there in front of me.

I hear ya. My Launchkey 88 lights up the buttons when I transpose keys but it doesn’t tell me how far up or down. Mind you, I don’t find myself needing to transpose that often. Stuff like percussion and key switches, I’m usually programming into the pads. That way I have 4 zones and they don’t transpose.

And I hear you on the fridge part, except that my SO is handing me what I was looking for after I made something else.
