EZPP + Groove Monkee mapping problems

Susan,

I know what you are experiencing. The key is to pull the Groove Monkee Grooves out of the EZD midi folder tree and either nest them inside the My Midifiles folder tree or place them outside of the EZdrummer structure in a folder of your choice and create a custom mount point.

EZD considers it's folder tree holy ground and Groove Monkee threw a Monkee wrench () into the works when it invaded the structure. EZPP assumes any midi file within the EZD structure is a factory file and has drums where they assigned them. The excepts to that rule have been taken care of via custom mapping. (EZX Latin Perc & Claustrophobic). EZPP doesn't know how to handle bongos in a place where a hi hat should be for example.

When you create a custom mount point, you can use an extended GM format.

One of the first tricks I learned was to pull a copy of the entire EZD midi folder structure and place it in my own custom location. This allows me to modify things and not muck up the factory structure.

Are you saying that EZD will still be able to access the Groove Monkey midi files within its browser, and, when not used in conjunction with EZPP? Thanx.

Hi Dave-

Ok, this is starting to make sense now! I had another Groove Monkee folder with dupes of the whole structure (don't ask me why), and once I mounted that in EZPP I was good to go.

There are still a few things about the mapping I don't quite get (like why "Follow Tracks" in he Master Map keeps getting turned off), but being able to break out the individual drums (and transpose them) is very cool!

Thanks very much-
