Load another instance of EZD and load the Nashville kit. Not let's say for example you want to record a groove playing it live, but you would like to use a kick from the Nashville kit instead of the Twisted kit. #Ezdrummer midi note map how to#How to use sounds from another EZD in one single groove And this way you can remap any key to any key you want!Ģ. (For your own convenience you could also rename the key to (Rattles) Crescendo in that same Map Properties window.) ![]() Now simply change the Out Note to 127, hit the 37 key on your keyboard (options are changes immediately so you don´t have to close the little window first, which is nice if you want to try various things) and instead of the default Side Stick you will hear the (Rattles) Crescendo. The In Note is the note you play on your keyboard, in this case 37, and the Out Note is the note that is triggered in EZD, in this case (of course) also 37. I won't be using key 37 (C3# in Sonar, the Side Stick sound) in this groove, so I will put the (Rattles) Crescendo, which is key 127, under key 37.ĭouble click on key 37 in the drum map view and you will see the map properties of this key: I usually play grooves in the range of key 36 (C3 in Sonar), which is the kick by default. For me this key is out of range of my keyboard, so I can't play it live. Not let's say we want to use the (Rattles) Crescendo key, which is key 127, in a groove. Now open the piano roll and instead of the piano, you will see the drum map (this is just the top of it and you probably have to expand the column to the right to see it like this):Īs you can see all keys have logical names now, making it very easy to pick the right sounds! For this first example I will use the Twisted kit, but it doesn't matter if you haven't got that one.Ĭhange the output of the MIDI track from ezdrummer 1 to the Twisted kit drum map (or whatever map you need) like this: Tip: when you have installed the example drum maps, remove or copy them all to another folder, otherwise it will take ages to scroll through them all when you want to select a map in Sonar. #Ezdrummer midi note map windows 7#map files you need and put them into your Drum map folder, which by default is (in Windows 7 anyway) C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\SONAR 8.5 Producer\Drum Maps. #Ezdrummer midi note map download#Well, all this can be done EASILY with Sonar's Drum map!įirst of all, download the EZX Drum maps from the Toontrack site: login to Toontrack, go to your downloads, scroll down to Extra downloads > EZDrummer > Hot stuff > Sonar > Drum maps and download them all. Or let's say you have already recorded a groove but you would like to see how it sounds if one sound is replaced by another sound or a sound from another EZX, without having to copy notes and having to paste them somewhere else in the midi clip or to another track. Or let's say you have a great groove in mind but you would like to use one or two sounds from for example the Nashville EZX while playing it live and have it all recorded in one go and in one groove instead of having to record it seperately and on another track, which would result in several midi clips scattered over various tracks. This would also be great for editing the groove later on in the piano roll, because all notes would fit in one screen and you won't have to scroll up and down to reach that note number 127. Or let's say you want to use specific sounds that are spread all over the keyboard, but for your convenience, you'd like to see all keys you want to use grouped together in one octave on your keyboard, so you can play the rhythm with one hand while using the other hand for drinking a beer. the keys you want to use are out of the range of your keyboard, even when you use transpose. Let's say you have loaded the Twisted kit into EZD and want to record a groove by playing it live on your keyboard, but. This post is quite long, but really, mapping keys in EZD with Sonar is EASY! ![]() And since the MAIN focus is Sonar's Drum maps, I thought this would be the right forum. ![]() It's focused on EZDrummer, but there is more than enough information that non-EZD'ers also can use (I think). I thought it might be a nice idea to post the tutorial here too. Tutorial: remapping EZDrummer keys with Sonar Drum MapsĪfter participating in this topic and watching Blades tutorial (thanks again!), I made and posted a (sort of) tutorial on the EZDrummer forum, where I was talking about how the keys in EZDrummer were mapped.
