Thank you. I’ll check out all the stuff you mentioned above.

Is there a way to reach you other than this forum? Since you mentioned Push (3), I wanted to ask you a couple questions about Push vs. Maschine for my particular setup and needs.

[Jeff Shirkey]

Okay, well, that pretty much settles it then. This guy was able to provide some kind of NKS support for MODO Bass. Would doing something like this be possible for TT products?

Unlikely they will ever add NKS support, it’s just not a big enough market to justify the huge amount of additional time needed to add support.

But for all those other companies, it somehow is?? I don’t see how TT is any different than, say, Arturia. If I’m totally off base, let me know.

[Jeff Shirkey]

I’m circling back to this thread now, too.

Come on, TT…please make this happen. If it’s in the works, just let users know that you are working on it.

jcshirke, I have zero issues with the Atom. I use it with NI Komplete 13 with no issues and other third party such as Modo Bass. Not to say others haven’t had an issue but I’ve often found that a lot of these issues could be solved by READING THE MANUAL. The Atom is a very capable device for me. Besides finger drumming I’ve used it to input other sounds like bass notes, horn hits, string section chords. Of course this requires that I set up the MIDI notes on the Atom to trigger the software. I read the manual. Hope this helps.

I ended up getting the Atom to control EZ Drummer 3. I have figured out how to use MIDI mapping to assign specific drums and other percussion (tambourine, etc.) to the Atom’s pads, and everything seems to be working as I’d hope it would. It was virtually plug and play. I just tweaked a couple of things.

However, I still have a question. I learned how to do the MIDI mapping by consulting the manual, section 9.4.7 (E-Drum Settings). There is a video that shows how EZ Drummer 3 should recognize the MIDI controller and display its name in the upper left side of the main window. If your MIDI controller doesn’t show up, the video says to hit the refresh button and try again. The issue: I do not see my MIDI controller or the refresh button anywhere on my screen. Like I said, everything appears to be working as it should, but I still wonder if I’m missing something, and I wonder why that menu doesn’t appear.

Did you try adjusting the sensitivity of the pads on the Atom? I don’t play drums, so buying a real electronic kit isn’t in the cards for me. Plus, I don’t have the space. I would imagine that I will mostly import and edit MIDI files/grooves, but I will also add my own parts as needed. I can’t imagine not getting a realistic or believable track, based on what I’ve heard people do with this software.

[Jeff Shirkey]

Thank you. It looks great.

I was just reading some Sweetwater reviews, and a couple people report that it has issues with double tapping, even if you hit a pad once. (User error??) Others say it doesn’t work well with 3rd party software. Your experience is obviously different with EZ Drummer 3. Do you also use it with any NI software? One guy reports problems with Kontakt. Thanks again!

[Jeff Shirkey]

Thanks for the replies.

I guess I should have been a little more specific. I have a NI Komplete Kontrol S61, so I *do* have an external controller. But it’s not ideal for playing drums in real time, imo. I’d rather have pads that I can assign the kit to.

I was thinking of NI’s Maschine Mikro or Maschine Mk3, but I wondered if they were more than I need. If anyone has experience with either of these two, please let me know what you think. If you think there are more affordable options that would work just as well, I’m all ears.

Thanks again.

[Jeff Shirkey]

Please add NKS support. Doing so would take your products to the next level.
