Assigning Sounds in MIDI Editor w/ Roland TD25

[Moxioron]

Hello.

A new EZDrummer user here.  No issues setting up TD 25 as MID Input.  Sounds awesome and I love it.

One thing I am a bit frustrated with is I can’t figure out how to assign.  For example, I want to assign the shaker, which is not assigned to any of the drum pads on my kit, to the Muted Cymbal, which is.

I right click on the Shaker, and selected Edit Mapping in E-Drums/MIDI In.  I can see it on the left side … but, not sure what to do to assign it to the Muted Cymbal pad on my Roland.

I also tried Show MIDI Mapping Layout, and I can see everything and can see which keys correspond to my Roland kit.  However, I can’t seem to edit or move anything.

Any assistance would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Hi,

to assign a note to an articulation not in the current MIDI Preset, you open the Edit Mapping window and either just:
– double-click in the Note field and enter a new value
– click the small menu to the right of the Note/Key fields and select ‘Add Note…’
– select the articulation you wish to assign the note to and then click ‘Learn’ and hit your controller pad/key

In your example you would select the Shaker Instrument, then ‘Edit Mapping…’ and select the ‘Accent’ articulation and click ‘Learn’ and then hit your trigger pad.

Personally, I am not sure that Instrument is optimal for live-triggering, though.

BR,
