This velocity is between 0 and 127 where 0 is nothing, and 127 is the loudest you can hit. To be clear how this works, your module passes through a note and velocity with every pad you hit on your drums. If not then do you use a DAW? If so then just turn up the gain on the drum track. Is there a mixer in EZDrummer where you can just turn up the master volume (or per instrument volume?).
Has anyone else faced this problem and know how to fix it? I read one reply saying it was possible to increase the gain on the Alesis and that fixes the issue but I can't see how to do that. I've read this is a common problem regardless of the drum kit - most forums talk about the problem affecting Rolands. Changing the trigger volumes has no effect inside EZDrummer so I can't even alter their levels anyway. I don't want to just jack up the volume on my Mac because the snare deafens me once the toms are at the right volume. If I click on an instrument in EZDrummer they sound fine, but all pads play about 1/3 quieter through MIDI. But when I play through EZDrummer I can barely hear the toms. I've adjusted the trigger volumes when playing through the Alesis drum module and it's fine. The trouble is that the instrument volumes are too low. I'd read that the sounds weren't great but that I could hook it up to EZDrummer 2 and use that instead. Nonetheless, I am sure that I will be downloading additional collections as my projects require them.I've just got an Alesis Surge Mesh. I have to modify these fills whenever I want to set up or accent a particular rhythm. The fills on the tracks that I have worked with so far are all very nice in a free, combo-jazz style, but the fills don’t seem to be setting up specific hits or accents. These are all common rhythms in the big band swing vocabulary.
Also, I would like a series of hits on the “ands” of -2 & -4 as well as a series of hits on a dotted quarter cross rhythm. It would be nice to have a series of fills that “set up” hits on beat 2, the “and” of 2, beat 3, etc. Two requests for future, however: 1) While l do like the activity and the “chatter” of the grooves, it would also be good to have at least 8-bars each of several very basic swing patterns for those occasions when you want the drums to really recede into the background.
I have been using them in Logic Pro and even my first attempt was quite successful at creating a realistic live, spontaneous effect that I could not achieve clicking in basic drum patterns.
And we all know how uninspiring it can be to practice to a metronome, so why not take this opportunity to have a professional jazz drummer available at all times? Sound Clips No matter if you are a beginner or professional jazz player you need to practice to either develop or keep your chops. Simply select the tempo and choose from a palette of live recorded drum performances played by Berklee educated session drummer Magnus Brandell and you are on your way to Birdland. OddGrooves Swing Drumming makes producing a great sounding jazz drum track literally as easy as drag-and-drop. I look forward to experimenting with more of your offerings. They are intricate and and have a natural feel, and the price couldn’t be fairer. “What a find your website and grooves are! I’ve already used some Jazz Swing selections for inspiration in my music for an upcoming project. This is a collection no owner of EZX Jazz can afford to be without. The performances are absolutely amazing, the extended loop lengths (up to 32 bars) are great for arranging tunes and solo sections and the trading fours blew me away, but what stole the show for me, were the snare drum performances - top notch jazz drumming with breathtaking ghosting and tasteful syncopation.
“After checking out your very generous free loops, I purchased the Jazz Drums loops at an equally generous price.
