I’m validating Groove Agent 5 before buying it. And I want to do something simple: map my Yamaha pads to the virtual drum set (in Groove Agent) using my Yamaha DTX-700.
It looks simple from the YouTube videos, because people are always using DTX-900. But I have a DTX-700 module and it looks like there is something weird happening.
I have installed the DTX-700 MIDI drivers, but Groove Agent does not list it as a possible hardware under “Use Hardware Controller Mapping” options. It just shows the three default options (one of them is DTX-900).
And even when I select DTX-900, it does not map the sounds to my module.
I know that the communication between my module and Groove Agent is somehow happening: every time that I hit a pad, a small led close to the upper right corner blinks.
The drivers that I commented before are targeted to other Yamaha devices: digital interfaces, recording stuff, etc.
They do not work with Drum Module DTX-700.
Hi,
I tested other solution (EZDrummer) and everything worked fine.
I really would like to use Groove Agent instead of other solutions, but I’m not finding enough help.
Yamaha DTX-700 and 900 should be almost identical. Select the DTX-900 preset and secure that the Kit MIDI-In channel in Groove Agent is just like the Yamaha DTX 700 MIDI channel.
