Thx! Just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss the location to download an updated version. So, reads like it coming

Thanks!

Aha! I went into the module and selected MidiMode: Gm- Looks like that has me about 85% there. Guess I need to adjust the midi note output for the rest in the module. This will probably get me there. If you have any tips, let me know.

Thx!

Got it. That’s very easy and thank you for the quick assistance.

Have a nice weekend.

Hi Everyone- I’ve been following this thread since I started it so thanks for contributing.

Welp, I decided to ditch Yami and went to Roland with the assumption that Roland would be a better platform with EZD/SD. I can officially say that I regret it. I went with a TD12 and built a Pintech/Roland kit around that. Pintech pads and Roland Cymbals. I gotta say that the DTX900 is superior (which I knew would happen).

But what surprises me about the Roland so far is that if I hit two triggers at the EXACT same time, only 1 triggers. Example: Bass and cymbal: Bass triggers. Has anyone else run into this on Roland kits?

Now, as for the original reason for my post: High Hat… I’m finding the roland does indeed trigger better, but the foot action is better on the Yamaha.

In the end, I sort of wish I had stayed with Yami. But, I actually do prefer the mesh pads. When I feel the hit mixed with sound of the drum its just a lot more natural.

Anyway… anyone have a dual trigger problem with Roland modules?

Thx!

WPHall I use the dtx900 module all the 3 zone cymbals..4 E-pro toms kick & snare. They are a rubber head..but I like them way better than mesh. It’s a softer rubber. I really hope I can get a fix for ezdrummer2 even though I know I’ll eventually have to use superior 2. As I want to add a splash cymbal. I just want to start off using Ezdrummer 2 live as it’s easier for 8 outs with the ur824. BTW I’m 50.

Good to know. In case it helps, I’m using a dtx900 with 3 yami 3zone cymbals and I also added a splash using a Pintech single zone splash cymbal. Plugged and played… nothing to it. Does this help?

Andrewmsb – Glad I’m not the oldest Good to know you went with the pearl kit. Are the heads mesh and are you using a Yamaha module? I’ve been thinking of going with a Drum-Tec or a Jobeky. They both rely on a Roland module which jacks the price up quite a bit. I’ve also looked at Pintech, but prefer the style of the others.

@gmontano – I’ve checked the mapping a few times and as far as I can tell, it looks ok. But, I try not to spend too much time on the technical side of all this since I get so little time to play due to a 3 and 5yr old. Are you using a Yamaha module mapped identically like a Roland. If so, how are you handling EZDrummer… are you choosing Roland as the module?

Thanks!

I’m a past acoustic drummer who has toured and recorded. Thus, I’m a little older at 47. I have to say that the sounds in Superior are mind blowing to me. Its just amazing what what toontrack has done. But in SD, they are raw and its supposed to be like that. EZ has been processed, and again, Toontrack did an amazing job on that too. Its just makes me practically cry when I hear the sounds because it reminds me of the countless hours I used to spend alone with the studio engineer trying to deal with the drums. With EZ/SD, its done in no time at all and it gorgeous.

But, I’m really don’t want to spend time messing around with all the notes and interfaces when it comes to connecting to my kit. I’m sort of bummed because I’m getting the feeling that more time is spent with Roland kits and it works better with these packages. I totally understand this. Roland is so dominant. Thus, I’m thinking of migrating over to roland. But, Roland’s mesh patent expires in 2017, so I think I might wait and see what happens. I’m guessing there’s going to be full blown eKit war in 2017-2018.

Hey- Sorry, I should have mentioned… Yes, I have the latest yamaha drivers installed and am connecting via USB.

Thanks.

Yea I have some issues with the same module myself. Usually it’s a crash triggered by the hihats. And my other issue is sometimes after a few hits my second cymbal sound is a chick sound. If I go into the midi after recording I can delete all the poly after touch instances and correct it. But now that I am trying this live I wish I could correct it. I wonder if there is a after touch midi setting within the dtx900 somewhere?

Hey- Thanks for the info. Ok, I thought it was me. I’ve been having a lot of problems with the HH and Cymbals cross triggering. Meaning there’s something strange going on between them. The HH is on a separate stand. Where it gets really strange is when my cymbals get stock on choke, and it takes me closing and reopening the HH to release the stuck choke. Also, my HH sensitivity is terrible- Its basically partly closed or partly open. I’ve double checked things like USB cables, and make sure its working ok with the built in module and all the equipment seems to be fine.

I guess I’ll continue to work on the equipment (instead of playing ) and see if I can fix it.

Thanks.

Hey John– Haha… No problem. I know Yamaha is selected. But, when I get a chance, I’m going to run MidiMonitor to make sure the module is sending notes for the pedal pressure.

Thanks.

Hey John- Thx for the suggestion. Would never have tried selecting Alesis for a Yamaha controller. I’ll give it a shot and repot back.

Thx.

Wow! I now have everything working. Once I figured out the mapping, it works like magic. The EZDrummer samples are fantastic. This has opened up an entirely new world for me as an eDrummer. Very excited!

Great product.

Thanks for the help. It took remapping the keys on a few of the toms within the DTX900. All mapped out and working great.

Thx again! Great forum.

2015 MacBook Pro: 16/512ssd, EZ2, SD2, SD3

[wphall]

Yes! Got it to work. I had to go into the DTX module and select USB as the MIDI port out.

Everything works except that toms 1 and 2 on my DTX are both triggering tom 2 in ezdrummer. I’ll have to figure out how to map everything correctly.

This is awesome! Can’t wait to start playing!

Thanks for the help!

Howdy- Thanks for the tip. Tried that with no luck. Will to try and reset the module and see what happens. Will report back later today.

Thx!
