Thanks John.

This isn’t working for me. When I do MIDI learn nothing happens however what you are suggesting is a bit different I think. I’m not looking to do automation…I just want to be able to turn the volume of EZK instrument in the track up/down by using a knob on my M-Audio controller while playing or recording a track in Studio One. Is that possible?

UPDATE: I got it to work using the Studio One feature for assigning controllers components learned to the volume knob in Studio One. Not sure what I did this time around that made it work.

Hi … not sure I’m following you.

The issue I seem to be experiencing is that Studio One doesn’t seem to recognize the Volume Control  in EZK as an assignable parameter for MIDI mapping.

Best,

I would not recommend using the computer keyboard for this specially if you already have a keyboard controller. The keys are too small and sometimes you may hit them with more force that you would with say a keyboard controller. You may end up damaging your computer keyboard.

You should be able to use your keys/pads just fine. Arturia likely provides a midi editor software (usually free) that you can download. You just need to create the mappings the way John describes on his July 11 post. Your mappings can usually be saved to the program or to an external file. (you can create multiple files to use say….multiple drum kits). Once you create them they can be easily uploaded downloaded to your device.

Thanks John

I appreciate the fast response. I’m in the software business myself (different industry) so I understand everything about increasing support calls/tickets and if you break the MIDI then EZD isn’t very useful. I also understand that you have to draw the line between EZD and SD. The keyboard controller I intend to buy has a really good editor so all in all it is not that big of deal to program your kits and I did notice that if you replace a kit component with another the MIDI assignment remains the same so your controller will continue to work. It is a bit of work but once it is setup it should require little modification.

I hope you don’t mind me sharing a few suggestions. I hope that EZD3 is in the works. The program is a God send….I study guitar,  I haaaate programming drums, and I’m allergic to the MIDI editor. The sounds are incredibly realistic not to mention is just plain fun.

1 – Include the above in EZD3.

2 – Expanded MIDI support of soft knobs in EZD. Having to turn the Amount and Velocity knobs with a mouse in Edit Play Styles is kinda of wonky

3 – Expand the size of the interface for improved readability. I’ve gotten older and my eyes are not what they used to be.

Best,

JG

This is important to me so let me make sure I understand.

I’m about to purchase a keyboard controller with pads (just because it is easier than computer keyboard/mouse). Are you saying that in EZD2 I can’t program the pads to the specific drum kit elements I want? Meaning that I have to map the controller pads externally to the MIDI values already assigned to the drum kit elements.  Am I getting that right?

Thanks

JG
