When you select a kit piece, you can assign it to a new mixer channel, e.g. “crashes”. Then you can move all crash cymbals there. However, they will disappear from the OH channel.

It’s just my virtual drummer. With a real drummer, I wouldn’t need Superior Drummer.

Mixer vs. grid editor seems to have problems. One shot 1 = sticks…then I added a second cowbell and now one shot 1 = the new cowbell.
In the mixer , sticks are sticks, but in the grid editor, the sticks are one shot 1. The new cowbell is one shot 3 in the grid editor.

I know that the order does not matter normally, but it does visually. I have a custom background and regard SD as my “band member”. 😀 When finishing songs, I have a video of the drummer playing…I like watching the hits and would like to reorder the xdrums or even better: They should have regular graphics similar to the kit so we can place them anywhere in the room to have e.g. 6 toms next to each other.

Ok, thank you! I did remove them, removed both cowbells, but the first one always appears under the sticks and the second one at the bottom of the kit pieces.
Moreover, a conga is called instrument 7 although there already is a china with that name.

Found it now…you need to export the bass midi with Guitar Pro, then import the midi in a standard midi track in your DAW, then transpose it +12 tones up, then save the midi…then import your newly saved midi file in EZ Bass.

I have the same problem. I use a 5 string bass tuned 2 steps down…so A-D-G-C-F. When I want to use any Guitar Pro midi, I need to transpose everything one octave up. I can load the midi, transpose, send the output to EZ Bass, but don’t have access to the articulations then (grid editor).

When I load the midi in EZ Bass, it is instantly wrong. D becomes the low A…transposing notes does not work as all notes are messed up. Any solution?

Yeah, that’s what I mean. Stacking snares is for creating a better sounding combined sound of different snares…it sounds richer, more powerful etc. … but when playing other articulations, I don’t understand why all of them only have one snare there…because it will sound more basic and does not have the combined sound of multiple snares stacked.

Here…this Mark Lewis preset (Death & Darkness -> death -> Mark Lewis) has 5 snare sounds…but although there are many articulations available, the stack of 5 is only in the center. WHY? When you play a rimshot or flam, you will only hear one of the 5 sounds, correct?

I am confused…

Thank you! It seems to work, but I don’t know why the official Toontrack presets have a center stack only. Do you know? Different snare sounds are stacked there, but only in the center…why not for rimshots, edge, flam etc.? Shouldn’t every snare that uses different snare sounds have stacks for EVERY articulation?

Or am I doing something wrong? My snare is a combination of Tama Bell Brass (Death & Darkness -> Death) and Ludwig Supraphonic from Metal Foundry.
Now I want to use this combination for every articulation. I select the Ludwig snare (marked green), then select copy and select an articulation. However, the newly created stack only has the correct articulation for the Tama Bell Brass, but not for the Ludwig…I have to right-click the Ludwig snare, then click “Search for instrument”, find the Ludwig snare again and select the correct articulation.

It only works with a couple of articulations because Metal Foundry does not have offcenter etc.

I found it. They charge 15€ per license number. Please make an offer. 🙂

Thanks. I tried that…by adding a snare to the center…but when I want to add the same snare to a different articulation, only the new stack is displayed, but no more center.

Is this legal, and selling kits is allowed and possible by transfering the license? If so, I am interested, too.

Drums:
Made of Metal EZX
Death Metal EZX

Basss:
EZ Bass Progressive Metal

Does EZ Mix work too?
I have 30 EZ Mix packs and would sell all but 2-3. I bought them for guitar sounds mainly…but no longer need them.

Hi!

I have a mixing question. The advantage of multiout is that you can draw a volume envelope and increase or decrease a certain part for kitpieces that have multiouts. e.g. I draw the volume envelope for the snare out and decrease the song part from 1 minute 2 seconds to 1 minute and 10 seconds by 3db.

BUT: What about bleed? The snare bleeds into the reverb and comp multiouts. Should I use the same volume envelope adjustments for the reverb/rvb and comp multiouts I used for the snare out? BUT the reverb and comp mulitouts don’t have snare hits only, but various other kitpieces bleed into them…so decreasing the volume there would also affect the volume of other kitpieces.

How can I adjust the volume of a single kitpiece, e.g. snare if it bleeds into other outputs?

Do you know what I mean?

Thanks,

Leander
