Garageband and Electronic Drum DTXPlorer300

i have a macbook pro whit garageband 08 installed and i have a electronic drum Yamaha DTXPlorer300, my problem is that i am connecting my drum using a "M-audio Midisport UNO" it is an midi interface (midi-usb)... it is detected by GB but when i play my drum the sound that GB recognises is other than what i expected, for example if a play the Kick bass drum pad, garagaband recognise it as Snare pad, i don't know what to do, or what setting can change to assign another value into the midi Channel, please help me thank you....

ok i used the Midipipe software and i fixed the mapping on the snare, but in the bass drum, i did it too, just that i still listen a sort of snare and the bass that i mapped, i followed the process from this page

How can I record and edit using an electronic drum kit to midi on a windows based PC (That I will eventually use in Garageband)?

Hi there
I know this isnt really a Garagband question and possibly a little off GB topic, but in the end I will be using the midi file in Garageband so it kind of is
I'm new to Midi recording so please bare with me.
I am looking to do the following.
Have my drummer record from his Session Pro DD505 electronic drum kit (which has a midi out) into his windows based computer via midi (He owns a usb to midi cable), so that he can then email me the midi file, so I can add it to a song in Garageband on my Mac. I will then choose the sound of the drum kit myself from Garageband.
He needs to be able to correct any errors he has made in the midi file before emailing it me, either by re-recording sections or by moving the incorrect drum notes to the correct beat.
I guess he would need to be able to hear the song that he is playing along to, and possibly have a click track playing at the same time.
So I guess what I am looking for is some FREE windows software to be able to record midi drum files into, that can also be used to edit the midi file after. A separate free piece of software could also be used to edit the drum midi files instead though.
I know that I can correct the midi drum files myself in Garageband, but I would rather my drummer spent the time doing this, not myself.
I've spent a bit of time googling this today but keep bringing up the wrong things as I'm probably using the wrong search terms.
So, any ideas?
thanks

You will be able to use the Cubase AI4 with any audio interface. Another option is to look for a 30 day demo of software like Reaper http://www.reaper.fm/index.php It won't stop after 30 days... just your concience needs to respond
Problem is though that if all you want to record is the MIDI then your drummer will also need some drum sounds in the form of a software instrument or a 3rd party VST to load into the recording software. So another program that comes uncrippled but has drum sounds in it is Ableton Live http://www.ableton.com/products However this can be an intimidating piece of software and it also cripples itself after 30 days.

How do I use GarageBand as a amp/speaker to listen to my Electronic Drum set? I have a MIDI-USB cord already but I can't figure out how to listen to my set through the software using my computer speakers?

If you want to listen to the sounds of your drum set, you should use an audio cable and connect it to the computer's line-in, then create a real instrument track.
If you use a Midi/USB interface, you'll have to create a software instrument track and select one of GB's drumsets as the instrument. Hopefully your drumset's midi notes are mapped to the right sounds in GB.

How do I properly map my electronic drums to GarageBand?

Hello,
I have a set of Yamaha DTXplorer (DTXPL) midi drums, and have a problem using them with the majority of samples for GarageBand.
The biggest issue is that the Snare Drum doesn't seem to be mapped from the drum set to the software instruments. (Hitting the snare doesn't produce any sound). The other drum parts seem to work fine, just not the Snare Drum.
Is there any information on how to map my drum set to be completely in synch with GarageBand standards?

Mapping DTXPLORER MIDI using GarageBand
Here is the (hopefully) definitive guide for getting a Yamaha DTXPLORER (a.k.a. DT-Explorer, DTXPL) electronic drum set to connect to Apple's GarageBand via MIDI.
SYMPTOM: When connecting DTXPLORER to GarageBand using MIDI, the snare drum is silent and the bass drum triggers a sort of snare roll instead of a bass hit.
PROBLEM: The DTXPLORER (for whatever reason) sends out the snare note on G2 (key 31) and the kick note on A2 (key 33). This is a non-standard MIDI key mapping for these instruments.
SOLUTION: Remap the snare and kick MIDI notes using the freeware app MidiPipe from SubtleSoft (http://homepage.mac.com/nicowald/SubtleSoft/) to the standard GarageBand MIDI keys using the following steps:
(Note: These settings were tested using GarageBand 3.0.2 and MidiPipe 1.4.1.)
1. Connect your DTXPLORER via MIDI to GarageBand and verify that GarageBand can record the drum sounds.
2. Close GarageBand.
3. Launch MidiPipe. You will create a Pipe that looks like this:
Midi In
Key Mapper
Key Mapper
Midi Out
Do so by dragging the appropriate components from the Tools column to the Pipes column in the appropriate order.
4. Once you've assembled the pipe (with the components in the correct order listed above), configure the settings as follows:
Midi In:
- Midi Input: (Your USB or FireWire MIDI device)
- Options: check "hijack"
Key Mapper (kick drum):
- Key In: A2 (33)
- Key Out: C3 (36)
- Options: UNcheck "Solo selected "Key In""
Key Mapper (snare drum):
- Key In: G2 (31)
- Key Out: D3 (38)
- Options: UNcheck "Solo selected "Key In""
Midi Out:
- MIDI Output: MidiPipe Output 1
- Options: UNcheck "Pass Through" and UNcheck "Use Note Off Velocity"
5. Choose File: Save As and save your pipe to a memorable location. You will need to retrieve this file every time you wish to record your drum set using GarageBand.
6. Relaunch GarageBand and attempt to record your drum set. The snare and the bass drum should now be mapped correctly!
Note: If you have having difficulties with the pipe and would like to verify that the key mapping is taking effect, add a "Keyboard" component to the pipe after the "Key Mapper"s. That will give you a visual representation of which key is being triggered for each drum pad.

I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?

Hi, I have this exact same problem. I haven't been using an iRig, just a cheap USB-jack cable. I managed to do this with the first cable I bought, but since it broke I've been unable to find a replacement that allows me to hear the drums while recording. DId you manage to get over this issue? If so I would really like to know how. Thanks and best wishes.

Garageband - "System Overload. The audio engine was not able to process all required data in time. (-10011). Im making a song on Garageband and I have recorded guitar, drums recorded on the musical keyboard, and vocals. It now says this, and won't play.

Im making a song on Garageband and I have recorded guitar, drums recorded on the musical keyboard, and vocals. It now says this, and won't play. Ive worked so hard on this and I don't know how to fix it. I am not very skilled or knowledgable in computers and barely know how to operate Garageband as it is. I have many different tracks in this song for different drums and beats. Please someone tell me how to fix this, I'm not even finished it! And again I am not very informed on how to work computers as well as most of you are, just saying. thanks!!!
P.S.: In my about this mac thing, it says i have version 10.9.1, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and Memory is 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Could you do this?
Go to Finder
Go to Applications
Go to Utilities folder
Launch Activity Monitor app
go to its Memory tab on top
tell us what you see at the very bottom?
Here is a sample of mine.
I bet your page/swap amount will be huge.
If there is not enough RAM, OS X temporarily stores RAM data on the harddrive and tries to retrieve it back into RAM when needed, unfortunately that is so slow that GB throws an error as it cannot play it all in real time.

How do I change the voices of my electronic drum set?

Yesterday I purchased a Roland TD-9KX electronic drum set and an M-Audio MIDISport Uno interface and got them all plugged in and playing nice with each other.
In Garageband, I can toggle the drum kits from Big Beat to Electro to Hip Hop to Rock and so on, but I want to change just one voice of the drum at a time. Say for example I want to load the Hip Hop Kit, then change just the High Hat or change just the Kick Drum to some other sound.
Garageband seems to have a preloaded arrangement of notes that the drums will play for each set and I can't see anywhere to change it. Like what if I wanted to make the kick drum sound like a dog barking, assuming that sound was in the kit? And what if it was in another kit?

you can't, you'd have to build your own instrument:

Electronic drums

electronic drums: I am trying to connect my alesis triggerio to garageband on the latest osx. I thought I saw something on the web about what settings or drivers I need. Please help :-(
I can see the triggerio in the midi devices in audio midi set up.
I thought I saw something where the usb connection would show up in the choices for input source?
THanks

Yes. GB seems to indicate that it is connected to the midi. But no sound.
Do I need to do something like this ???
http://www.vdrums.com/forum/showthread.php?54532
First of all You got a Mac.... It's perfect!
Now i'll tell you how to use it.
Plug all MIDI device you want to use and turn it on. Don't forget to plud your USB to MIDI device!
Go in the appliction folder.. You'll see another folder cll UTILITIES.
Get in there and you'll see AUDIO MIDI SETUP. Double click on it!
Click on the ON THE FIELD OVER CONFIGURATION and put it on NEW.
Give it the name you want... Ex: Test config Midi
You should see your USB to MIDI device.
Click on ADD DEVICE and configure it well...
EX: You'll see a new KEYBOARD... double click on it and change the icone to the one that you want . I've take the second one that look like my TD-12. Enter the DEVICE NAME (V-DRUM), MANIFACTURER (ROLAND) AND THE MODEL (TD-12) and put the chanel you use. Click on APPLY
What's next.....
Do you see the little arrow on the buttom of the USB-MIDI device and at the top of your V-DRUM... click on it and DRAG UNTIL OU CONNECT IT TO YOUR DEVICE.... THIS IS THE WAY TO CONNECT YOUR DEVICE VIRTUALY. THIS IS VERRY IMPORTANT. ENTER EACH DEVICE END PLUG IT VIRTUALY ON EACH OTHER.
Now open garage band and you'll get a message that you've got a new midi device. GREAT.
Create a new project..
click on the + icone on the buttom left and choose Software instrument.Click on CREATE.
You'll see a new GRAND PIANO track. click on it and change it to DRUM KITS and chose the want you want!
Now save your project.
Take your drum stics click on the record button and play.

Nano and electronic drumkit

Not so much a problem as informational---but maybe a problem too.
I use a Yamaha DTSIII Electronic Drum Kit with external monitors. I used to plug my third gen. iPod into the drum module to play along with the songs.When I bought a Nano, I tried to use it the same way.
What I got when I plugged it in was this loud hum coming from all the speakers on the external monitors. I plugged in my older iPod and the hum went away.
I was wondering if it is a function of the flash rom in the Nano vs. the hard drive of the 3rd generation iPod that causes this.
Thought I'd post this caveat for others who might be doing the same thing.

Nope, it plays just fine. Now for the most bizarre fix. I hope Jeff reads this too. I had a wild notion that the cover I bought to protect the Nano might be the problem–made of rubber–. I took it off and plugged it into my drum module and NO HUM. Could the rubber have been insulating or in some way causing feedback? Whatever it was it works with the cover off and the hum returns when the cover is on. I guess my 3rd gen iPod didn’t do that cause there was no insulating cover on it.
D*d-est thing I ever encountered.

MIDI Electronic Drums

I am not very well versed in both MIDI and Logic so please consider this a newbie question. A friend of mine has electronic drums that he would like me to record. The output of the module has both stereo and midi. I don't want to use the stereo outs because I want to have as much control of each drum sound as possible, so I assume using the MIDI out would be the way to go. I've been reading the mapped instruments section in the manuel but don't quite get it yet. I guess my question is, given the outputs of the module, how can I record/seperate each drum sound to it's own channel. Thanks.

Yes, that's right.
But there are many ways to achieve what you want;
1) Most eDrum kits use (GM) General MIDI (Extended) formats, so they transmit the MIDI data on Channel 10, using a 'standard' pad assignment to trigger a virtual instrument (V.I) in Logic. For example, the kick is on C1 (note #36), the snare is on D1 (#37) etc. Again, most eDrum kits let the user reassign those outputs to match a software instrument if you need to - often you don't, if you're using a standard kit in your V.I.
If you record the MIDI data in Logic, and use a drum sampler [(such as EZ Drummer or Superior drummer)|http://www.toontrack.com/products.asp?] the MIDI notes will play the correct drum sound, as these instruments understand which note plays the kick, snare, hi-hat etc. Using one of these drum instruments also enables you to create multi-channel outputs so you can process and mix the tracks individually, or you could use one of the drum sampler instruments in Logic's EXS24.
2) If you don't have a dedicated V.I. you still have many options. You can separate out the MIDI notes contained in your MIDI region to separate tracks. You'll find a command in the 'Region' menu in Logic's arrange window which is 'demix By note pitch.' Using this on your MIDI region will create new tracks - one for all the kick notes (C1), one for all the snare notes etc. Then you can assign multiple instances of a V.I each of which will play the only sound you have assigned to that note.
3) Mapped Instrument. This is an instrument that you can create in Logic which will take all of one MIDI note, and reassign it to another note to match your V.I. Usually, you don't have to use it, unless you have a non-standard MIDI layout for either the eDrums or your V.I. It can be convenient to have anyway, to save as templates for various setups you might want to use, but as you say you're just starting out, you may not need this feature yet. It's also useful if your eDrum kit doesn't have the ability to change it's pad assignments to different notes, or you're using a non-standard custom set of samples, such as a percussion kit, where you may want to assign your snare MIDI pad to a shaker, for example.
If you're sure you need to use a mapped instrument, then post again for details on how to set it up. Meanwhile, more details about the eDrums you are using, together with which V.I. you're planning to use, would help to give you more specific answers.

What loops come with version 8? Looking to replace Garageband and Soundtrak

I am looking to replace Garageband 08 and Soundtrack 1.5 with Logic Express 8. Should I save those audio libraries or does LE 8 have it's own or duplicate?
Thanks, Ed

Hi,
I'm pretty sure that, whatever you have available to you in Garageband, is also available in E8 so, yeah, E8 is pulling from the same loops. I can't really be sure if E8 has extra loops simply because I've bought and/or downloaded so many loops over the past year or so that I've pretty much lost track of what were the original loops. What I can tell you is that they are much better organized in LE8. For instance I bought some drum loops from "Drums on Demand" and in the media section of LE8 they're listed under "Drums on Demand" which garageband and LE7 did not do. There was nothing in the literature stating that LE8 came with extra loops. Pro 8, however, comes with the first 5 jam packs included. That pretty good when you figure that that's nearly $500.00 worth of loops plus all the other extra stuff you get with Logic Pro Studio and it's only $299.00 more. The reason I didn't go pro is that I already have the sounds, plugins and loops that I need for the music that I do so, for me personally, Pro would just have been overkill. But if I ever get tired of my external synth the I might ditch it, buy a controller and go with Logic Pro Studio. It's nice to have the option at such a reasonable price.

Error reading/writing file message when opening garageband and/or files

I've been recently getting this message when I open garageband and files
"Error reading/writing file\U201Ccom.apple.garageband.cs\U201D
I've been in and repaired disk permissions and all that it says it is all fine, reinstall garageband and message still comes up, weird.
not only is garageband being a nuisance, Mac OS X 10.6.2 is being a pain when shutting down telling me to restart the computer. This only happened since upgrading to 10.6. No one as yet knows this promble so I'm gonna have to ring apple and see what is going on here.
and also my other problem is that mac doesn't seem as snappy anymore I noticed this before upgrading to 10.6 and made no difference when "cleanly" installing 10.6. I get a colour wheel popping up and i'm having to wait with simple tasks. iMac only 2 years old.

i give up with this discussion forum no no one knows anything

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repurchased Garageband and I can't get passed the complete installation. I don't seem to have the "com.apple.garageband.plist" file that has been a common solution. Any suggestions?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repurchased Garageband and I can't get passed the complete installation. I've read through several posts that all reference the "com.apple.garageband.plist" solution. I don't seem to have the referenced .plist. Any solutions or suggestions?

Did you upgrade from SnowLeopard?
I can't get passed the complete installation
What exactly is happening? Is GarageBand trying to download over and over again?
all reference the "com.apple.garageband.plist" solution. I don't seem to have the referenced .plist.
The property list stores your preferences, but also the settings from the last run of the application. If that file is corrupted in some way, you might see third behaviour.
You must have this file, for it will be recreated automatically, if it is missing, or you have a permissions problem with your user library.
Perhaps you did look in he wrong place.
in MacOS 10.7. or later the User Library is hidden. To find the Preferences Files use the Finder's "Go" menu:
Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
Click onto you Desktop to bring the Finder forward.
In the Finder Menu press "Go" and hold down the "option/alt" key, until your user library appears in the drop-down menu
Select "Library" and in the Finder window that opens navigate to the "Prederences" folder; move com.apple.garageband.plist to the Desktop.
Log off and on again (don't skip that step!). Retry GarageBand and see if it GarageBand is now downloading the missing content properly.
If that does not fix the problem, post back and explain in more detail what the download problem is.
Why did you "repurchase" GarageBand? If you already owned GarageBand '11, it should be unnecessary.

Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI. Sample rate 42804 recognized. Check conflict between Garageband and external device.

Sometimes, while playing back my software instrument songs, I get an intermittent pop-up error message, saying "Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI. Sample rate 42804 recognized. Check conflict between Garageband and external device."
(Sometimes the five digit number is different, but remains a five-digit number beginning with "4".)
Simultaneously, the song stops until I press the "Okay" button in the pop-up window.
When I continue to play the song, the sound is jerky and clipped, and the playhead doesn't keep up with the song, and then suddenly jumps to the part of the song currently being played.
There's also a sound of static.
The issue seems to occur whether or not I have my MIDI controller turned on and plugged into my desktop Imac.

Had to erase and re-install. No longer can find Garageband and other apps. Where can I re-doanload these?

I have had this mac for years. It's one of the very first Macbook Pro models with Intel processor.
It originally came with OS X, and I have the install disk here. I upgraded to Snow Leopard when it came out.
Recently my disk failed and I had to Erase it and do a complete re-install. I assumed Garageband, and iMovie and a few other apps I used semi-regularly would be in the Optional Installs. I started from scratch, installed OS X and then installed Snow Leopard on top of it, installing the "Optional Installs" each time.
No copy of Garageband and these other useful apps appeared.
I can not download Garageband from the Apple site because each time I do it claims I need to have Garageband already installed. But since my complete reinstall did not install those, I'm stuck without these apps I once had.
How can I get these re-installed properly like they once were?
I just want my Macbook Pro back to where it was earlier this week before the disk failed.
