Cymbal sound assigned twice

[Bjornvarthr]

I have 5 cymbals. Everyone is correctly named (crash 1 . 2 ride etc) I can not get the fifth to assign the sound I want. No matter what I do another cymbal is also assigned to that sound even though I already assigned it to a different sound. So then both sound the same. Newest firmware. How to fix?

You need to give me more information. What application or hardware are you triggering?

[Bjornvarthr]

I sent an email too. I have different roland cymbals. I use ez drummer 3. I can assign 4 cymbals correctly. But with the fifth lt always assigns another cymbal to that sound as well. I dont understand. For example , I assigned a splash. Then I assign a china. Then suddenly the splash also has the china sound.

Sometimes if a particular kit doesn't have a particular cymbal, EZ Drummer will automatically make it trigger something else (instead of nothing at all). Is that what's happening?

[Bjornvarthr]

Im not sure. I use the death metal expansion. There are more than 5 cymbals in that kit. But as you say, it triggers something else. Is there a fix?

[Rob]

Have you confirmed what notes eDRUMin is sending? It has a build in MIDI monitor. That's your first step. And are you using a drum map? Typically you would just make sure that eDRUMin and EZD are using the same make (Roland for example) and that's all you need to do.

MIDI Monitor

Yes, roland map. I can see in the roland map that there are 10 cymbals on 2 pages, but many of them has the same note. D#2 , c#2 and a 2 are on more than one each. I guess thats my problem? Then it triggers /. learns other cymbals too beacuse its the same note. How do i fix that? I just want 5 differen cymbal sounds.

[Rob]

That's because Roland doesn't define that many cymbals. For any non-standard cymbals, you'll probably need to set the output in eDRUMin to 'custom notes' and use some note values that aren't already used.

Wow, I changed the map and now it works. Thanks.
