Great question! It seems like the focus of the product is a holistic, “live” recording as opposed to a more strict recording studio setup.

I’ll be curious to read replies.

I use it as a standalone. Simply get the app out of the folder in your application folders. I’ve got it on my menu bar!

Ok, so here is another idea . . . if its individual MIDI tracks you want, you can create a EZ Drummer Software instrument in Logic then create new tracks with duplicate settings (one for each instrument). In each track, use Logic’s new, on-board step sequencer to create “loops” of 12-64 steps, choosing the MIDI note(s) you want to trigger for a respective instrument (you can create as many “loops” as you want or have more than one instrument triggered per track within the loop) and then right-click on the respective loop, choosing convert to MIDI region in the drop-down.

It’s a bit tedious perhaps but it seems to work. I’m going to play with it some more tomorrow.

I just started this process myself having just purchased EZdrummer. I haven’t gotten too far along as I planned on playing with it more tomorrow, but what I have done thus far is to is to use the plugin and create individual software tracks and then adjust the MIDI note of each instrument to correspond to each track. I get output of each instrument but that’s as far as I have ventured thus far.

I’m assuming I will get an audio signal, but then that can be bounced to MIDI I am assuming.

I’m also considering already cross-grading to Superior Drummer 3 since is has more direct and immediate MIDI capabilities.

Hope this helps.

 

BTW – I’m running mac OS Big Sur

After a night’s sleep I went in to give it another try . . . and OF COURSE it was dumb, user error! 🙂 I was using the default MIDI channel on my controller (channel 1) when I assigned channel 5 for purposes of EZdrummer.

Thanks for motivating me to revisit the obvious!!!

[Philip Vernon]

Of course! This is a great product and seems like interesting and attentive posters. I’d like to add to knowledge if I can offer any! 🙂

[Philip Vernon]

Ok, I’ll look in to that. Since we are on the subject, are you aware of the CCs for EZdrummer? I’d really just as soon map it all out on my controller anyway.

[Philip Vernon]

Yup. I am primarily controlling the drummer with my Polyend Seq sequencer (which works just dandy), but have also “checked the boxes” for the Keylab to control the knob/fader parameters within the mixer as well as the master volume control.

If I could get the CCs from the drummer (usually such things can be found at the end of a manual), I would just manually map it within the Keylab as a User edit but Toontracks doesn’t seem to divulge the CCs for knob/slider/master volume — at least no where I can find.

[Philip Vernon]

Thanks but I tried that. The steps are (should be) rather straight-forward. Like I noted, the software is receiving midi but the corresponding knobs/faders don’t respond.
