After painstakingly mapping each desired EZ Drummer 2 drum midi Note Value (below.) from the extra purchased packs to specific pads in Studio One 6 Producer's Impact XT Pad Bank "A" (see encl.)


using the Akai MPD218 Midi Pad Controller (below.) which recognized the entered midi Note Value mappings and played the desired drum(s) when triggered in real time once routed to plug-in.

I replaced the MPD218 with a PreSonus ATOM Production & Performance Midi Pad Controller (see above.).

The PreSonus ATOM ignores the aforementioned Note Value mapping made in Impact XT "Pad Bank A" and triggers what it wants on EZ Drummer 2.
Pad 1 = Kick
Pad 2 = Sidestick
Pad 3 = Snare Center
Pad 4 = Snare Center?
Pad 5 = Unknown Snare
Pad 6 = Tom 4
Pad 7 = Hi Hat Closed
Pad 8 = Tom 4
Pad 9 = Pedal Hi Hat Closed
Pad 10 = Tom 3
Pad 11 = Hi-Hat Open
Pad 12 = Tom 2
Pad 13 = Tom 1
Pad 14 = Crash Left
Pad 15 = Crash Choke Left
Pad 16 = Ride Edge

I recently discovered in the manual each pad has Note Values...but they can't be tweaked in the DAW?
Pad 1 = C1
Pad 2 = C#1
Pad 3 = D1
Pad 4 = D#1
Pad 5 = E1
Pad 6 = F1
Pad 7 = F#1
Pad 8 = G1
Pad 9 = G#1
Pad 10 = A1
Pad 11 = A#1
Pad 12 = B1
Pad 13 = C1
Pad 14 = C#2
Pad 15 = D2
Pad 16 = D#2

Please advise when it will becomes possible to program/reconfigure Atom pads to send/respond to the Midi Key or Note Value # desired to trigger the EZ Drummer sound(s) in real time the way I was able to create Impact XT Pad Bank "B", "C", "D" & "E" by dragging desired files to pads 1-16. It's a hassle to have to roll-off each played instrument to create audio samples to this drag onto the desired pad and still remain unable to utilize the full functions of why EZ Drummer was purchased in the 1st place...to make recording drums easier...can we NOT?

The Akai MPD218 Midi Pad Controller doesn't have this programming bug...awaiting resolution(s).
