A friend of mine has EZ Drummer 2 on Logic Pro X and I have a Jamstik MIDI guitar controller. When using the Jamstik as a controller for EZ Drummer 2, we want to reassign the input notes that EZ Drummer 2 sees when we play certain strings or frets. For example, when we play the open low “E” string on the Jamstik, we’d like that to be the kick, the first fret on the low E, the Snare, second fret, closed HiHat, etc. etc.
I believe from reading other posts about this on the forum that it is impossible to change the midi mapping for EZ Drummer 2 itself; but what about a mapped instrument ?
When we tried to create a new mapped instrument with the input routed to EZ Drummer 2, even when we change the output note in the mapped instrument window, EZ Drummer still plays the default note or drum hit.
For example, we tried to change the Snare side stick to the normal snare hit by changing C# input note to a D output note. This did not work. Is this possible with multiple instances of mapped instruments or 3rd party plugins?
That was the video I watched, yes. The first time I watched it, I was away from my friend and couldn’t test it out, and on subsequent rewatches while trying to get it to work, I skipped over the all-important step of adding a track specifically for the mapped instrument.
I thought the tutorial was excellent but the time spent on arranging the tracks and windows just so visually, made me impatient. This was my downfall; but thanks to you I rewatched again to make sure I hadn’t missed anything and voila. My mapped instrument works perfectly for my needs.
