EZD and Sonar X1e Usage Questions

[VetteTech]

1: It installs and works fine (except for my other thread on the Drum Kits in the Nashville and Classic EXP). But is there a way to have ESC respond with the tempo of the song being played, including start and stop, from the interface without having to copy the patterns into a track. I want to be able to play back the song and switch between grooves and variations while playing and stop when I hit stop.

2: If I copy a pattern into a Sonar track it plays as expected. But if I stretch the clip one or more additional measures, unlike other Midi Synth tracks like Dim Pro or others, there is no data beyond the first measure. I have to copy and paste each measure of a pattern. Is there a better way or am I doing something wrong?

3: How do you load user Drump Maps that someone else created? Just copy them into a particular folder?

4. Same for Midi Patterns. Just copy them into a folder and point to it through MY MIDIFILES?

Thanks

I think I answered my own #2 question – I set Groove Clip Looping on for that clip and it worked as expected.

You actually can’t point tat anything with My MidiFiles, My Midifiles is actually a Folder at the bottom of the Midi Library depending on what you have installed in my case I started with EZdrummer and then decided to gof full on and got S2.0 The Metal Foundry, SDX Presets and about 300,000 Midi files so on mine under Ezdrummer there is a filder called Midi and it there is all the EZD,SDX Midi Files The Add On Packs and my Personal File structure as I would not be very effective at building anything if all my files were stuffed in one folder like that. But I would not suggest it as it took me 6 hours to fix what I messed up and then reset it correctly.

Thanks for the reply. I also figured out #1. Besides hitting play (spavebar) in Sonar I need to click on teh sample I want but they play along in the song tempo and that’s all I needed. I Also solved the drum kit problem and the auth issue. Making progress.
