Ok, so I just brought home my girlfriend's Hart Prodigy e-kit and Alesis DM-5 module. Went out and bought an Edirol UM-1ex MIDI->USB adapter and hooked everything up. Opened up Cubase SX and loaded my DFH EZD instrument, started to bang on the drums. It sucks because there are only three toms on the kit and two cymbal pads, so I noticed that it chose the highest tom and lowest tom, and then tom 3 on the DFH kit to correlate with the MIDI coming in. I thought that was a bit wierd, but oh well...until I learn more about MIDI routing, etc. I'll just have to deal with it.
Using the Pop/Rock kit everything worked out fine, only we have two cymbal pads so the first crash (on the left) and the ride (on the right) get triggered. After messing with the settings for sensitivity and cross-talking between all the pads I finally got it running like butter. Snare rolls, cymbal crescendos, etc. all come out fantastic. A drummer friend of mine is coming over tomorrow night hopefully and will be jamming on it a bit. He also has a complete set of DDrum Pro triggers for his set (altogether like 6 or 7 triggers) and we might do some work in the future using this method since I can utililize all the toms in the DFH EZX for his stuff and mic up the OH's and stuff the drums with pillows to make them basically like an e-kit. Should be fun. I'll have something up as soon as we get together for everyone to check out.
