EZdrummer drum rack

Post by Mark Williams » Sun Aug 10, 2014 2:45 pm

Hi,
I have EZdrummer2, love it, but I cannot seem to get it on a drum rack, so I can use it with Push, anyone done this, or can show me how to get this great drum vst onto drum rack.
I would really appreciate it.

I haven't tested this... that being said first thing that comes to mind

Create a midi track. Put EZ on it. Set input to "in"
Create a new midi track. Put a drum rack on it.
Send the new tracks midi to EZ drummer.

This way you can use push's sequencing abilities.

It is possible and i'm at work ATM but it's actually possible to "wrap" any Drum plugin as a drum rack so the 4x4 pad grid is mapped to the plugin. Scrolling through the Pad range will also allow you to move through your kit.

There is an Ableton guide to setting up Battery as a drum rack device but this can be applied to ANY instrument that needs to be wrapped as a drum rack. I wrote a guide on how to setup Battery with multi-outs for use with Push and that has a link to the Ableton article. I also own EXD2 (which is awesome) and have done the same thing with multi-outs in the same way.

Thanks for this, I have EZdrummer all racked up now...I have noticed you cannot remap some of EZd2 midi notes, which is a shame. however I do have access to Superior Drummer2 and you can remap within that very easily, so I may have to purchase that instead.....

You can find these already built and color coded to pad level, including multi channel templates at TimbresAndTones.com. Loads of drum rack libraries for the different ezDrummer EZX expansions

Hope this helps
