problem with yamaha kit/ezdrummer

[Andy Webb]

Hey Guys.

I just got a Yamaha DTXplorer electric drumkit and im trying to run it through logic/ezdrummer. everything is fine except the bass drum is a crash cymbal. I say it is like this because the ezdrummer pop rock kit has 2 crash cymbals and my kit has 1 crash and 1 ride.
Is there a way in logic or in ezdrummer to fix this so my bass drum is a bass drum?
I tried fixing it in the yamaha kit settings but i cant find anything about it. Maybe im just looking in the wrong places? 
Also it seems to be a little bit out of time / out of sync. Is there anything i can do to fix that?

Ps. i am running a macbook, mbox and the midi into a bcf2000.

Thanks in advance

Andy.

Hi – latency would occur as a result of bad drivers or simply a buffer set to high. If you mean the original Mbox the lowest buffer you can get is 512 which is definitely on the high side.

the DTXplorer maps the kick outside of GM so yes that’s unsurprising. Worst is that you cannot remap it in the module. Use solo and the edrum preset or set an input transformer on the input path in your Logic environment (this may add latency). Not for the faint hearted but here you go.

check settings in the YAM DTX brain

Notes corrspond to the pad when setting up instruments to the pads. Ie assiging a Kick , Cymbal and so forth.

Load up the program with your midi host running. Use the edit function in the DTX to change the NOTE type

C 3. D4 etc. Adjust the kick ( pad)  trigger note to match the sound of the drum piece you are going for.

You’ll see the notes when you edit any trigger. Each pad will correspond to the note as you play the kit piece. Ex:
when you hit the kick, and have the edit ( trigger edit) mode on teh DTX brain running, you’ll see NOTE selection.

Check the DTX manual for exact reference. Trigger editing chapter.

so err trust me, I (sometimes) know what I’m talking about 😉
