Hi.
I am trying to record my drums using triggers on my acoustic kit.
I connect the triggers to the Alesis DM5. Then connect my Midi-to-USB converter to the DM5 and my laptop.
I start up Sonar X1, and select the Midi converter from the preferences.
Right this is where I am lost and need some help. When I hit a drum the trigger is doing its and job and sending the signal to my laptop (I can see it spike). But all of the triggers on my kit are coming through on the same channel. How do I split out the channels, so I have a snare, kick, toms etc...? I can't seem to figure that bit out.
Once that it done, then I have a final request for help. I would like to use the sounds from Ezdrummer. What would I need to do to set this up?
I am new to all this, so a dummy's guide to all this would be just what I am looking for!
Hopefully somebody can help with this as I need to get my recording underway ASAP!
Thanks in advance
