I never use Grooves. I manually play the drums on my keyboard.

I did find a workaround. When you choose Add Instrument at the far right bottom select More and “add without midi assignment. This way I can choose which midi note I want to map it to.

I was able to add a bunch of snares and kicks to midi notes I don’t use, this way I can quickly audition snares and kicks. In Sonar I have a Midi map that I can assign any note to a different snare

[Gerry Peters]

I went to Settings Midi in /E drums and altered the default template to not have notes playing anything above midi note 74 and when I play my keyboard that’s the case. I added a kick and was surprised it added it to note #35 which was already being used, instead of putting in a note above 74.

The MIDI Mapping keys are still using the notes assigned from 74 and above. If I go to the Midi Mapping keys in the far right column and hit notes above 74 they still play. Is there a way when I add a new instrument for it to go where I want it instead of it taking the place of a note like 35 that  is already assigned?

I’m playing drums on my keyboard, not drum pads. i’m not sure if MIDI/E-Drums applies to my situation. Also I never use the grooves browser or the timeline, I always make up my own drum patterns to fit each song I’m doing.

I just went to Settings / MIDI/E-Drums  and hit use Preset and then played all the regular notes I use when I play drums on keyboard. I use only a few kits from custom presets I made. Should I be using the MIDI/E-Drums setting for assigning my mappings in my situation? Please explain.

Make sure the ‘Use Preset’ button is on in the ‘MIDI In/E-drum Settings’.

Thanks for this, the button was not on. Yet I was able to get it to work by adjusting Midi Mapping, which is in the box next to Midi Mapping keys

 

Thanks

That’s likely the problem. How do I do that?

This is what I did, I see I left off a step or 2

Open my preset, Select loaded instrument on left

Click add instrument on the left, choose search for instrument

search for ride

audition ride in that window, I like the bow articulation

select add instrument

window closes and I find the instrument in the midi map window but it’s only the crash not the bow

See at top – All articulations 3/8 loaded
Click on this and see below –  all articulations, see the 3 articulations that are loaded. Below that it says Not Midi-Mapped. I see 5 articulations that are not loaded. How do I get some them to load, in particular the bow, and add to my midi map on the far right?

You’re right. I saw that and thought the button on the right was mute, but it was invert phase – my bad

 

thanks

Jord did a great job explaining what to do. I did that and everything is fine. I moved the midi folder with the Nashville folder.

No one uses floppies anymore, B has worked perfectly for almost 10 years as my sample drive for 4 different synth libraries. Thanks for your help also Jack – great forum!

[Gerry Peters]

It really is working fine. What I did was move the Nashville EZX library along with the Toontrack folder from my boot drive to my B sample drive and put it in the Superior 3 folder. I then checked the settings in Superior 2 and 3 in Cakewalk and made sure I pointed to the Nashville drums. The network had absolutely nothing to do with it.

[Gerry Peters]

I got it all working. I even opened some songs from 2017 which had only S2 and they worked fine. I moved the samples off my boot drive and on my B sample drive.

It’s been about 15 years since computers even had floppy drives. Don’t worry it’s safe to use B, it’s worked for about 9 years flawlessly. I have 5 computers networked together so drive letters get used up. B is handy since it’s close to my main HD’s when I open My PC. I haven’t tried using the A drive letter, but may do that too – why not.

Thanks everyone!

When I first got S2 it installed in this folder
B:\SUPERIOR DRUMS
with these 2 folders
EZX_Nashville
SL-Avatar

When I installed S3, it’s library was in this folder
B:\SUPERIOR DRUMS 3\SL-SuperiorDrummer3

currently my Nashville EZX is here
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Toontrack\EZDrummer\EZX_Nashville

So after I delete EZX_Nashville on my sample hd, which folder should I place it in? I assume I’d move this whole folder tree: Toontrack\EZDrummer\EZX_Nashville

Should I install EZ player pro?

ON my sample HD I have a Superior 2 folder with Nashville and Avatar and a Superior 3 folder. No EZDrummer folder

[Gerry Peters]

I went ahead and used Product Manager to uninstall Nashville EZX and reinstalled in product manager. It still installed on my boot drive. I then used Disk 1 of the original Superior 2 –  9 DVD set. I installed Superior 2.0, but it didn’t let me point to the library

Keep in mind I still have my old computer that it’s installed on using the same sample HD. I moved the sample HD to the new computer, installed Product Manger and installed Superior 2 and Superior 3 and saw my Nashville EZX and installed it, but it installed on my boot drive and didn’t give the option for another HD

The Avatar drums did point to the sample HD.  In Product manager it doesn’t give me the option of changing the path of the Nashville drums with the 3 dots, although the Avatar does. IN Cakewalk I tried opening S2 and S3 and I can’t point the Nashville library to the correct path. Can I call tech support? Or is it only email?

[Gerry Peters]

The library is already on my sample drive. It also just got installed on my boot drive by accident. There was also a snag with my having 2 authorizations, I removed one of them so now I’m authorized on the new computer for Nashville drums. Maybe that contributed to this problem. I may just uninstall, since it will only uninstall it on my boot drive and then reinstall. Unless someone has any other ideas – thanks

[Gerry Peters]

the 3 horizontal lines on the right hand side of the installation info tab also has uninstall, I wonder if I should do that and then somehow point it to the correct sample HD.

[Gerry Peters]

the 3 horizontal lines on the right hand side of the installation info tab allow me to change that in Avator drums, but not in Nashville. It’s stuff like verify download
