So basically it’s like this — How do we take ezdrummer which has 8 output tracks and assign those tracks to each individual drum and route them to seperate midi tracks in protools? Midi channels don’t seem to have the required input path from EZdrummers outputs. Audio channels do, but then you’re creating an audio recording and loose all midi functionality. We’ve tried several other routing paths, including going through bus channels, instrument tracks and aux tracks, and can’t find a way to get one drum to one midi track. It’s either all or nothing. The goal is to arm all the drum tracks at once, record all or most of the drums for the segment simultaneously, but have everything go to it’s respective channel so that when punch-ins and fills are needed later using only specific drums, – say we wanna add two tom hits in a section where other drums are going, – we don’t destroy or record over the already-created tracks on the other drums.
Recording all ezdrummer tracks in a stereo mix to one midi track seems constricting for this reason.
Alternately — is there a commonly used configuration that offers this flexibility without creating seperate drum tracks? How does everyone else generally do this?
Any advice much appreciated!

Hi,
there is a EZMultiOut Pro Tools Template Session in the Free Downloads.
This shows how to set EZdrummer up for separate outputs in Pro Tools.
This is with regards to the Audio output from EZdrummer, inserted on a Stereo Instrument Track.
EZdrummer has no MIDI output.
As for recording the MIDI data for each drum in a single pass on to separate MIDI Tracks in Pro Tools; it is not possible unless you can send each of the drums on a separate MIDI device and/or channel.
It is highly unconventional to do so (never heard of it, actually) and it is not a limitation of EZdrummer in any way.
The procedure is to record your MIDI data as it is played to either an Instrument Track or a MIDI Track, then overdub the MIDI if needed; either on the existing track or a separate track.
Alternatively, you create separate MIDI Tracks for each drum and record them one at a time or record all drums to one MIDI Track and split it to several tracks after the record pass.
Best Regards,
John
