Anionn – Toon track EZ drummer test 2 using virtual midi keyboard

I had problems getting this to work. Took me about 6 hours to find a good virtual midi keyboard that runs in background mode and has a “global keyboard” feature and key editing.

I’m using:
toontrack ez drummer
acid pro 6
Virtual v 2.x demo
camtasia studio

________________________________

oki.. heres a tutorial for configuring the ez drummer to work with virtual midi keyboard. Pls reply if it was helpful.. and if smth doesn’t work let me know so i can fix this tutorial.

You need to download ez drummer
Its not a stand-alone program. You will need for example acid pro 6 to use it
I am using acid pro 6

Download virtual midi controller v2.x

-when you go to virtual midi controller u see a text: “microsoft GS wavetable SW”
Click on that text and it opens a pop up menu, choose virtual midi controller.

Now go to acid pro 6:
go to Insert – Soft Synth – VSTi Preferences
Go to MIDI tab.
There are hardware ports for midi track playback and input.
You should find a check box for Virtual Midi port in the MIDI input list. Check the box.

Go back to Virtual midi controller. You should see letters TRK on the top right corner. Activate T and K. (K makes the keyboard “global” so the controller runs on the background while you are using ez drummer)

You can edit the keys on the virtual midi controller. For example i made the bassdrum the letter ‘b’. To do this push the ‘C IN’ on your virtual midi controller. This opens the keyboard layout. Right click the letter ‘b’. Fill in the data 1 fields for both, down and up functions. Data 1 down value is 34, Data 1 up value is 34. You’re done.

The virtual controller sometimes bugs and doesn’t work on ez drummer. This is usually fixed by restarting the controller while the ez drummer is running.

    @sn0ch if i remember correctly its from the top right corner of ezdrummer. There is a small (?) -symbol or something. Click on it and then choose a drumset. This should show you the midi codes for the corresponding drums. I havent used ezdrummer for long time. I hope i remember correctly.

    You are using the same program right? And you read the tutorial on the description? Do you see the 3 buttons on the top left corner of the midi controller saying “T R K”? Activate the T and K. And go to the VSTI preferences and midi setup.

    my description says: “go to Insert – Soft Synth – VSTi Preferences
    Go to MIDI tab.
    There are hardware ports for midi track playback and input.
    You should find a check box for Virtual Midi Controller hardware port in the MIDI input list. Check the box.”

    I had the same issue but it was because my default ASIO Buffer size was too high (512) I put it down to 128 or 64 and it works like a dream now. You should be able to fix this by going to ur soundcard driver software and just change the buffer size to smth smaller than it is atm.

    I tried this, but there is too much lag. I got X-Fi XtremeMusic and DMX 6Fire. DMX gave the less lag, but you still could not keep up on faster rythms. Its a real shame.
