Hello all! Is it possible to record an ekit midi performance and then use that performance to trigger the brain for a second track of audio?
I have superior drummer that I can run the midi through, but he has a Roland ekit and he prefers to use his sounds. And Roland doesn’t make a plugin (that I know of)
As long as the module has midi input just play midi out to it and patch the ekit module outs into your interface inputs. (unless it has usb multi channel record)
Depending on what equipment you have you may want to run a few times with different drums solo or muted so that you have each drum on it’s own audio track.
Should be entirely possible - at least with the Roland V-Drums in my studio it is.
The user manual for the specific Roland device your drummer uses (there are quite a few different one’s by now) should provide the necessary details. Roland user manuals can be found online at the Roland websites.
Thanks, the reasoning is the drums are at a different location and if he could record his performance via midi and then bring his module over to use the sounds in it from the midi file he made. I wasn’t sure how to word it or how to search. But you believe it’s possible?
I’d say that is exactly what MIDI was made for in the 1980’s.
Please be aware that each drum is represented by a number in MIDI. Different drum kits can use different numbers for their drum sounds, ie. on one drum kit a mid tom could be 54 but on the other it could be 97. Cubase uses drum maps in order to reassign these numbers. The numbers are also called “pitches”.
