I want to use my Alesis SR 16 to control EZD 2. I have it assigned in EZD 2 midi menu (eDrums). Sometimes it works, some times it doesn’t.
Same thing when I am using EZD 2 within Pro Tools 12 and need to edit a drum pattern. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
Can anyone help me?
could you please specify what doesn’t work?
Which OS are you on?
Which MIDI Interface are you using and does it have updated drivers?
Have you checked cables?
What doesn’t work – No sound when attempting to trigger EZ2 from the Alesis- (Also cannot see drums “highlight” on screen so, I know that the triggering is not working)
OS 10 El Capitan – Pro Tools 12
Midi interface (from Alesis to Mac) – Alesis Control Hub
I have checked the cables (switched out with known, working cable, same problem)
If you go into ‘Settings > Audio/MIDI Setup…’ and MIDI Devices, does the Alesis Control Hub have a check mark in the box?
How is your MIDI Preferences set in Pro Tools? Do you have ‘first selected…’ in Default Thru Instrument? Is the Alesis Hub (or All) selected on the Instrument Track MIDI Input?
Thank you again, John
Yes the Alesis Control Hub is checked in Midi Input Devices
In Pro Tools, Midi Preferences “none” was selected in “Default thru Instrument”. I changed this to EZDrummer 1-1 and it everything started working properly after I clicked ok. Looks like I have to set that for each song, but no problem!
My only issue now is that in EZD2 “stand alone” outside of pro tools, the Alesis does not seem to be triggering the drums. I checked in eDrums and the Alesis is selected there. Perhaps there is something in OS XX that I need to do?
Your help is so awesome.
