1-installed it,
2-installed the Roland/SPD30/Mac driver
3- connected the Mac and the SPD30a with an usb B to C cable
4-setup up Roland/SPD as the controller in EzDrummer
5-I went to send midi sound back to the SPD30 in the EzDrummer settings and my only option for sound is Mac Internal Speakers. EzDrummer is not recognizing the SPD30 at the very least as to sending midi back out to the SPD30.
The SPD30 pads do activate the on-screen drum kit annimation, but the sound is only going over Mac speakers OR headphone plugged in to the mac, and the sound I received was pure pooh. I really don’t think the EzDrummer samples are being triggered.
Something is definitely wrong.
Ive tried three different USB cables to no affect.
According to Sweetwater, the midi should return to the brain even in standalone mode, ie, without a host at 1:00.
I think one of your answers may be on page 58 of the SPD 30 manual:
“Only MIDI data can be transmitted or received via USB.” which means you won’t hear EZD3 samples through your SPD 30 outputs unless you plug the headphone output from your computer into the “Mix In” port on your SPD 30. In the video you posted he is using a Roland TD50 module, which supports audio over USB in addition to MIDI. However he is playing audio through a UA. interface.
You can trigger the SPD 30 samples via EZDrummer (from a song track for example) or record MIDI into the EZDrummer song track or a DAW from the Roland.
In your post you mention “MIDI sound” in bullet 5. MIDI is not audio, it’s basically a musical device communications protocol.
Brads got it! ^^^ Midi travels one way and it’s going to your computer, that’s why your computer is making sound. I didn’t have 17 minutes to watch that video. If it sounds bad, change you’re audio settings in EZ, or get an audio interface. Good on Brad for checking the manual for you.
