eDRUMin version 2 Alpha

[Rabidreject]

Sorry, one last thing.

When you go to the different modes in advanced and it has the record assist function. I went into it and it put a yellow box in the top right hand corner (where the connected devices used to be) and then it went red but now i'm out of that record assist mode it stays there. Do I need to disable it or is that a bug?
Cheers

That's a big. Thanks. I will fix it. Thanks for your other feedback, too.

I also have noticed it unexpectadly quits a lot of the time. Now granted, the mac I am on is a bit underpowered with regards to RAM - however, im sure it didnt quit tthe program as often as it is nowe - its like every time I start playing for a few seconds, i look up and boom the message saying'this program unexpectedly quit'.

If you get a crash log, I would love to see it so I can fix the issue.

Hi Rabidreject,

here is a link I found and find still usefull.
You get an idea of the Toontrack mappings.

http://www.godprobe.com/projects/notemaps/

Each library it has its PDF with the mappings.

Of course the basic kit parts and articluations are on the same spots.
Kick, snare, 4 main toms, hihat, some cymbals: ride, 2 or 3 crashes but the chinas
and splashes may change already.

I think they try to arrange it somehow organized.

Howe do I get a crash log? I would happily send it you. As I said, im on a mac mini with 4gb RAm so I wouldnt be surprised if running logic, youtube (to play along to drumless tracks), EZD and SSD5.5 all at thew same time as the EDrumin app may well crash anyway....

Oh also, one more thing about the preset menu - when you add a new one (thsanks for fixing the bug there, thatsa god send!) why is it not possible to cut and paste text into the three boxes? Would it be hard to allow thge user to copy and paste text into the three boxes?
Thanks - so far I am loving V2!

Oh also, I was just messing with the preset menu and there is a tiony bug (I dont know if its just me) but when I change the selection from Roland to other the roland icon stays lit up until I move my mouse across it. TINY I know but every little helps to make it smooth!

Also, I just had a bug where I was changoing all my pads to the note mapping for SSD5.5 and I was hitting each pad and cymbal and my ride is plugged into my ED4 where as a lot of the other stuff is on the ED10. They are both just plugged into the mac.
Anyway as I got to the ride the options to change it from note banks to DMKP just wasnt there! It looked like it just wasnt accessible. I moved onto my toms and calibrated them great in the DMKP option. I then hit the ride aghain and BOOM! there it was. Very odd - not sure how to recreate it to take a screen shot either. If it happens again ill snap it for you!
I dont know if its because I have two ED's connected?

Hey All, fyi I posted screenshots of a Max re-mapper in the DIY section that I created in the last few days, that can be used in tandem with eDRUMin v1.6 or v2.0, or any number of things.

There should be a 'Report' button that comes up. Clicking that will open the crash log.

Works on a Windows. Must be a macOS issue.

Oh also something more functional and annoying for me is when you are in the DMKP mode and you click on Steven Slate Drums or whichever VST mapping settings you choose, it takes you to the preset screen by clicking on it. Thats cool - the annoying thing is you cant click on it again to get out of it, instead you have to go to the other side of the screen and click on the preset. Could you make it so you click on it once and it takes you to the preset and click on it again and it takes you out - just like the actual preset button TBH.
Just something small....

Ya, that bothers me, too. I think your suggestion should work fine. I was also thinking of making a more streamlined listing to quickly change without needing to open up the entire Preset Manager.

I was looking at the maps you have and the different modes like bank mode and the new one - the name escapes me (I tohught it was called something silly I must admit, it was long and complicated. Couldnt you have called it pre-set maps or something simple? lol I diugress...

I've shortened it to just 'Kit Piece' and changed 'Notes' to 'Custom Notes'.

Rob, I love how you take every suggestion and use it to make your work better. You always strive for the best, thanks Rob. I’ll get a crash log next time it happens…it is probably my Mac tho lol

[Rabidreject]

Here is your crash report, squire...

I'm bracing myself for you to say I need more RAM and me say I KNOW! lol

I must admit ididnt even look at the crash report. As you know, I didnt even know what it was - iv never noticed it on a mac before - although I have seen them on windows lots. I think that, in itself speaks volumes about the two options lol One of the reasons I switched years ago - that and Emagic selling Logic to apple! Windows may be a lot better now, iu havnt used it properly since XP or 7 days really so I cant really diss windows.

also im a bit confused - I am sewtting up my mappings for EZD/SD3 and one of the extra cymbals was wrong, so I thought ok ill change it to what it needs to be and then save my own preset so its easier.The thing is once you select the DMKP option ( I literally forget that EVERY single time I write it in here and have to look it up lol. Although it probably says more about the state of my memory than your coding!) the arrows to change a pads mapping is gone - I presume because its already pre-set. But then if I cant edit it, whats the point in being able to save our own DMKP maps? Am I missing something?
When you select DMKP on one drum does the mapping effect only that drum? or if I do save a DMKP pre-set like there are many you have created , does that also effect every piece of the kit rather than just the kit piece you are on?
Man, how can something so simple confuse the F out of me!?

So for example, say I want all my EZD mappings but I want to put a crash on the edge of the ride. Do I then have totake all my pads off of the DMKP mode and onto bank mode and change them? or can I load a toontrrack preset and alter just one of the pads? Or am I mistaking whats happening and you have to select it on every pad anyway?

There was also a bug when I bring up my ED4 controls where it randomly changed the icon for two of my cymbals from the dual zone cymbal icon (black/grey) to a metal cymbal icon. No idea why and no idea if the settings actually changed to that coz I when I clicked to change the pad type the rubber dual zone pad it was already selected so I just clciked it again and the metal cymbal icon changed back to the rubber one. Not a big deal but a bit ofdd - I cant even tell you how to try and recreate it coz I dont know when or how it happened!
