    There are Cubase drum maps available from your Toontrack account under the Downloads->Extra Downloads section.

    OK, Scott. Thanks. I’ll check it out. Hopefully I’ll find a way to learn to edit them if necessary though I haven’t yet seen a how-to, step by step. But why is there this “no sound” happening, is it related to that I need the Cubase-EZD map and/or ?

    I can’t tell by looking at your pic why there is no sound for those 3 articulations. Can you attach the Cubase project file to a post so I can take a look at it?

    Thanks for offer. Do you mean just the .cpr and that those two MID parts? (they’re really not part of the composition, I was just trying out grooves at random, incl. one with ride for ride cymbal and ride bell are something I need). I’ve never shared a project online so don’t know what to include for this — if anything besides the .cpr.

    Bump.

    Just the cpr file is fine. I don’t need the MIDI. I can see which articulations you are using.

    Thanks for reply. I totally screwed up the file while trying to prepare a copy for you for you (got confused — I have an chronic anxiety condition that right now is not helping). So I’ll have to get back to you at some point once I repaired or reconstituted the cpr. Hopefully you’ll still be open to guiding me on this. If you’d be open to Skype video thing, that could maybe simplify things for some pointers on EZDrummer (i.e. one track vs. multiple, etc.). I am turning 59 tomorrow and live on a limited Social Security disability income but could donate USD $10 through PayPal for such help. While totally irrelevant, here is my https://www.facebook.com/PhilipStevenKnight so you can get a sense of who I am.

    Also, I use 1920×1080 dual monitors so tend to stretch the projects, but can organize it so it’s only on one monitor — let me know what you prefer.

    Again, I’ve got to re-organize myself here before doing anything.
    Let me know what would work for you.
    I live in the Los Angeles area, so PST.

    Thanks.

    PS: Maybe I panicked a bit. Turns out that the screw up I did for some reason “repaired” the “sound holes”. Problem it I don’t know exactly what I did which isn’t very helpful to me, but for now I’ll just muddle through. I’ve downloaded the stuff you told me to get at Extra Downloads — the Cubase EzDrummer map but have not installed it yet. So I’ll do that and see if it makes the workflow easier. In short, raincheck on your offer but I’ll probably send you a .cpr at some point if I need clarifications. Thanks.

    Thanks. Life stuff has come up, can’t do this right now. Will contact you when things chill. I’ll send you two .cpr of the same project where one has “sound holes” in EZD, the other not – and I can’t figure out why.

    Until then.

    @Scott A while later… As per your offer, attached is a.zip file with: — Two more or less identical .cpr files with self-explanatory titles of “WORKS.cpr” and “DOES NOT WORK.cpr” referring to that in one all notes of the EZDrummer part/s seem to work in one of the files, not the other. — Copies of the two related project screenshots shown below. Being very rusty with all of this due to long hiatus and some not-so-well-organized workflow habits, you can see that one (and in the identical screenshots included in the .zip that are shown here below) I had to move one of the drum files away on Track DRM TWO from the above DRM ONE for I cannot seem to figure out the routing. If I turn one off on that track, everything is muted, on — both play. Why one file has a fully working EXDrummer notes situation and the other not is a mystery to me and frankly, the one that works was by chance as I nuked and re-made EZDrummer tracks until something worked. But something is obviously different between them. So in addition to letting me know what is messing up the track for notes, I’d appreciate if you could explain to me how I should set up and/or route or bus EXDrummer in a folder so that I can mute-unmute (or perhaps simpler yet, create a very simple EZDrummer only .cpr (I have Cubase 6) so I can study and duplicate when needed). Though I still need to know exactly why the some-notes-work-others-don’t happened so that I can avoid this in the future. Thanks. ~ P.S. Knight

    PS: Not sure if this has any bearing on the overall missing-notes situation, but I discovered that the Cocktail part of my EZDrummer was missing or unavailable somehow; i found this out when tired to use the Cocktail updater I had and it said that EZDrummer wasn’t installed even though it is. so I re-installed and re-updated Cocktail.

    In the .cpr file that ‘DOES NOT WORK’, the instance of EZdrummer that is assigned to the drum MIDI tracks has channels ‘soloed’ in the EZdrummer Mixer page. The ‘Overhead’ and ‘Room’ channels are not ‘soloed’ so they aren’t active. If you ‘unsolo’ all the tracks, the cymbals will sound properly.

    OK, thanks for taking the time to look into to this. Hopefully I can now correct and avoid this snafu.

    The MIDI maps didn’t get moved from the old website to the new website so they aren’t available anymore. It has been requested that they be put up again but, as of yet, they have not.
