The image above comes
with the EZdrummer documentation to show you the layout of drum
sounds and which MIDI notes they are associated with across the
keyboard. EZdrummer uses its own custom key mapping that cannot
be changed, but it is General MIDI based so that GM drum files
can be imported and played. Toontrack has taken EZdrummer above
and beyond the standard GM format so that sonic subtleties are
made available, particularly in relation to the hi-hats. There are
several different hi-hat articulations that are offered, from
tight to semi-closed to sloshy. In addition, there are "different
length of crash cymbal chokes" available based upon the
velocity of the midi note. |

Please watch the
following EZ
Keyboard Mapping video
to learn more. I used SONAR to create a MIDI file to show what
sounds are being played in EZdrummer across the keys of an 88-note
midi keyboard, so there are far more sounds being covered than
what the above image shows. I wanted to let users see/hear just
how often certain sound are mapped (as an alias) more than once
across the keyboard. I've also included the velocity display
window from SONAR's Event View so that you can see the velocities
being played, and I also used the graphic keyboard from Kontakt 2
to give you an overall visual as the midi notes are being
triggered. |
