There is actually a solution. But I don’t think it works in cubase. My efnote 5 module can send out of its micro USB output both midi information and think its 7 tracks (5 mono and one stereo) of audio. The catch is, as far as I know this only works in Logic Pro. I have always wondered why that is. Maybe a firmware can fix. Out side of that, I don’t think it can output both midi and line level audio at the same time through its other outputs. Only the usb. I will link a video on the subject.

@@Bearvswolf Hey, thanks for replying, yes i saw that video, looks very easy on Logic Pro, i wanted to leave that for like a final desperate move, since i have to install MacOS and then get Logic Pro, and also, i have no idea how Logic Pro works, i used Cubase like since forever... Efnote went too far with the compatibility and auto rejection thing... I see you got Cubase there on the background ? how are did you record the Efnote module sounds to the video?

@@youtubebrowser1635 I dont own cubase. It looks like I am using Luna on this video. It would have just been connecting the two Line level outputs L/R into my interface. Its possible that if you had an inter face you could accept the line level outputs from the module as well as the standard midi outputs. You of course only get stereo drums. But if you are just trying to remove the cymbals from the mix that would work for you. Assuming they output simultaneously

@@Bearvswolf oh i see, im gonna try that.. looked to me like Cubase yeah, the interface and colors are pretty similar, well, thanks very much man for all the info, im gonna keep trying, be well man, thanks.

The closest thing I have to an FRFR is the kemper kabinet. Unfortunately it does not work with the nano. So I don’t know. I only tried it through a standard cab V30. Lots of people like their Nanos through FRFR though.

Great video🤘

I am with you. I thought the stock sounds in tonex were underwhelming. For me Kemper does the job. Thanks for you comments🤘

You can try to convince yourself that your Kemper is the best thing since sliced bread all you want, but the truth is Kemper is not the best sounding unit on the market. Sorry to burst your bubble mate. It is what it is.

@ I’m not here to convince myself. My decision was an easy one. The nano sounded worse. I bought it thinking it might sound better. As I said in the video it sounded fine plugged into my interface and DAW. But for the application relevant to this video (monitoring it through a cabinet), for me, it was not even close. I didn’t make a video to convince anyone. Just share the results and perhaps get any knowledge on how to make the nano sound better.

@@Bearvswolf I replied to guitartoneSA's post, not yours.

Luckily I have not had any issues in that department. Have never had so much as a software glitch with mine. And I bought it used. Thank you🤘

I didnt try it through my amps loop. Maybe I should have tested that. But I didn’t care much for the kemper that way either.

Just get a Suhr Reactive Load box and an amp, you won't regret it. "No Regerts"

@@PainterDans I do have a load box and a Friedman runt. 🤘

You tried both? Or you mean in the video?

@@Bearvswolf I have tried both , returned the Nano as it didn't the capabilities I need compared to the kkp . plus I still have the quad cortex . I was just hoping the nano could replace the kemper .

Its a great rig👌

There is a 3rd crash connector. So Hi Hat. 3 crashes. And a ride.

Yes I like the AD sounds. Very natural. Slate has great record ready sounds. I have never tried Superior Drummer. I had a trial of EZ drummer and really did not like the sounds. For what its worth

Great info🤘

These are sounds from a plugin FYI not from the module I dont think. I believe I used slate plugin. Not its not a glitch. What you are hearing is when the drums are being picked up by my mic for my voice. When i am talking over my playing i have both audio tracks live. When I am only playing i cut out the audio of the mic so it sounds better. I do have lots of shorts that showcase the sounds of the efnote though if you are looking to hear more. 🤘

Thats great🤘

Thank you🤘 Sure, anything specific you need to know?

@ I would just like to know how to use drum samples, in pro logic or Steven Slate trigger two? I’m gonna buy the F note 7X here in a few weeks.

@ gotcha. Just FYI. To use with an electric kit dont get trigger. That would be to replace acoustic drums youve recorded. You want Steven Slate Drums. SSD5. That will be used for Midi and electronic drums. Thats a video i could make though. 👍

@@Bearvswolf yes a video would be nice. You sold me on the efnote and I’m going to get the efnote 7X and hopefully get to also run Steven Slate with your help.

@@Bearvswolf i´d also really appreciate if you could make a video on how to set up the Efnote with SSD5. I kind of struggle to set it up properly with my Efnote 3B.

I believe they are just the cymbals. Because you can send a line out to Logic and have the drums broken out to sep tracks. And a stereo of the cymbals. I dont think there are drums in the overheads. But if you use a plugin (slate, addictive) you then get drums in overheads as normal.

@ cool, I used to have a strike pro, sold it when we moved and I’m leaning towards this for recording at home. They’re pricey here in Canada though, about $4400 cad. Seems to be the perfect sizes for my space and has all the features I want.

Thanks🤘 Funnily enough, last week someone said “stop twirling the sticks”😆😆 I don’t even realize I am doing it at this point🤷‍♂️

Thanks🤘

Yep. I usually use Slate drums for the electric kit videos.

I wouldnt say many of the sounds in the module are punk suited. But some good standard rock tones. I bought mine used and it came with the rim split on the snare. So it is possible to over play on them. Im not the heaviest hitter so I havent had any issues with them holding up since though.

Appreciate it. How do you like you efnote?

@@Bearvswolf I think it's excellent - particularly the cymbals, but (as per your video) the Efnote version of the 'round robin' isn't very satisfying. So, I tend to pair Efnote 7 module with another module that can do sample import (currently a 2Box) so that I can swap out snares and toms that play and sound more acoustic due to the depth of the sample layering. I'll do a video on my channel on that topic soon!

@@Acoustic2Electronic I will look out for it👍

These drums were recorded via midi. Triggering steven slate drums. I think the preset was Big Beefy Dry. Thanks for commenting🤘

Its an original piece. Just an intro idea I had this last couple days.

Glad it helps🤘

Much appreciated thanks🤘

Thx🤘

Awesome. Glad you got it working🤘

🤘

😆🐤

There is definitely a bit of hot spotting with that pad yes. It didn’t bother me much though.

@@Bearvswolf sigh, seems there is a prefect way to fix the hotspot. a bit stupid of me to upgrade(downgrade) from PDX8. dont really find any advantage beside the large mesh surface

@@cplee9 ah bummer. Well bigger is bigger. I was coming from those rubber pads at the time. So it was much better. But I could see it being a lateral move from the 8”

If I remember correctly, I used steven slate drums for this. “Big beefy dry” or something like that. It is not a preset from the efnote module.

What DAW are you using? My initial thought is that you are using an audio track and not a midi/instrument track somehow? Also, how are you connecting the kit? The micro USB on the efnote module does actually carry both midi and audio so that could be the issue also.

It could also be that you are monitoring via your inter faces software? If your interface does have software you want to mute the monitoring. Or if your interface has one of those knobs that says “direct” or a a button that says direct. Make sure it is turned away from direct or direct is off. So you arent hearing the signal entering the interface.

@@Bearvswolf ha I'm new to this. I didn't use any DAW, just hooked the efnote module to a mac with AD2. I was able to go into the efnote module and turn the levels of the kit off; that seems to do the trick, but feel like i shouldn't have to do this if I'm doing things correctly.

@ first go to the 3 lines on the top right of the app and click audio midi setup. I assume you will just pick your computer as the output. Also lower the buffer size as much as you can for the least latency. I doubt that addictive drums is accepting the line signal. Its more likely your computer is. So i would go to system settings/sound and see what shows up. Then hit your drums and see if it registers. Go to input and see what is selected. Efnote module should be listed under input. Maybe just de select it. That way your computer wont see the line input. But the app can still see the midi.

Not really. It’s pretty easy to get used to.

For me yes. No need for a module with 1000 kits in it. I just wanted full shells and great feel. Not to mention the roland is $9 grand.

@Bearvswolf how's it sound acoustic?

@@jjellen5804 not too loud if that's what you mean?

@Bearvswolf I haven't seen anyone post a video of them not using the module. Could you please?

@ Do you mean with the sound of the drums in a room? To see how loud they are? Or do you mean using midi to control a plugin in a DAW?

I use the PGADRUMKIT5 from Sure $329. Plus a pair of Rode M5s $199. Behringer makes a pack for $109 and one for $149 right now. Both with 7 mics. You cant touch that for value. I have never used them but behringer has come a long way. Up from there presonus does it for $299. My suggestion is buy used used used. Maybe look for the sure PG stuff used. Or just go one mic at a time. Start with kick and snare and maybe overheads. Eventually add toms and more. 🤘

Nice to hear. Thanks🤘

what kit are you on? I usually just pull up a TD-12 kit that maps well to the efnote. Ive had to re trigger the splash before but hi hat seems to work fine.

@@Bearvswolf Hi dude, I'm using an EFNote 3x. Having endless trouble getting hi-hat or chokes to work in GetGoodDrums inside Kontakt Player, or any other VST for that matter. Been really struggling here and spent hours trying all sorts of things!

Ah that sucks. Yea midi stuff is a pain. I am the least familar with get good drums. Typically if I pull up a popular kit it works about 90%. I think I recall Kontakt has a similar mapping system. I’ll take a look at it again and see if I can come up with any pointers for GGD specifically.

Yes I should have had a second cam on the amps and software👍 Thanks for the feedback

@@Bearvswolf But a very cool smart video. 👍 Best way to demo the Kabinet is a room mic for sure.

I tend to agree. 9 times out of 10 when I sit down to play I just throw on the kemper. When you factor in effects loops and all the pedals trying to play nice the kemper (being in one box) just sounds cleaner. Its a cranked amp sound without all the noise you get from turning up and pluging in 4 cables and the extra pedals. Plus for recording its a no brainer.

Yes Passive Kab. I got it for a steal so even with the Loudster cheaper than the powered version. And I was also very impressed with the Loudster. Clean and tons of power🤘
