Is there a way to change the note/drum mapping in Steven Slate drums? I'd like to match it up to Superior Drummer's. Currently, my hi-hat "in-between" (not fully closed or open) hits don't match up between them and it's really frustrating. I use bits and pieces of kits from both plugins and sometimes blend from both, but I really don't want to have to edit the censored out of MIDI files and have to make separate versions for each plugin.

6. To the left of EZ Player's main velocity knob (above the track window), there's a drop down menu. From this menu, select the sequencer that your drum MIDI does work properly with (in this case, it's Superior)

7. Right below Track 1's name box (below the play and record buttons), there is another drop down menu. On this menu, select the sequencer that you want your MIDI to be 'converted' to (in this case, it's Steven Slate Drums).

...however, I'm still not sure where to go from here. I can't export any kind of audio, since my DAW doesn't see the MIDI playing as part of its actual session (since the MIDI is actually in EZ Player). And I don't see a way to export the converted MIDI file. How do I actually make use of my wrapping?

But is there an easy way to IMPORT 3rd party midi, or do you have to laboriously hand move individual parts of a drum to some BeatBuddy MIDI mapping? - If you find files that are midi drums, for the most part, they come over. You can open them in a DAW and select all of the notes at 35 and move them up one space to 36. Likewise, move the 41 to 43.

Phil,
Thank you for taking the time to read and answer bit by bit. I think this will help many future owners. I had a tough time reading older topics weeding out 3rd party from Gen Map MIDI. Your answers are superb: insightful & helpful!

Look for BeatBuilder. This is a java-based app and I use it extensively to import third-party midi. Once imported and exported, most of the drum parts are BeatBuddy compliant. Ever since I have been using the BeatBuilder, I have not seen an issue when importing 3rd party midi.
