Thanks for this. Finally moved out of my shithole apartment so I can play my edrums again without going through the floor with the kickdrum. Got a Midi-USB coming this weekend, I'm looking forward to it.
I wish Rocksmith made a drums version. 4 button guitar hero lane is rough. Clone hero installation should link to this video.
What if you're using a usb A cable (printer cable )?
It's MIDI over USB so it's the exact same. The controller you have to select is probably "USB MIDI interface".
@@Cobalt985 Thanks for the reply. :)
Im confused i have the alesis nitro max and a USB b cable but when i plug it in to my laptop and go to clone hero i click input device but nothing shows up. Help please
press up and down arrows
@@demonicsweaters i tried that
Hey man just wondering, if you have to crash cymbals will they both work if you map the correctly? I feel like I have but my second crash hits the green crash and yellow pad for some reason? Any help would be nice! Great video by the way
I've had something like that happen before. Usually just delete all mapping and start again and it'll fix it. And yes, you can have two crashes mapped to the same lane.
@@demonicsweaters okay so I’ve tired that again, but my second green cymbal says it’s pad 50, and the yellow pad also says pad 50? So not matte that they are both hitting even if I try to separate them
I see my kit in clone hero but when I wanna create Mapping and I hit a High hat or drum pad it doesnt recognize it help plz
Make sure you have it selected in the midi input option
Mine just says usb midi interface instead of my Alesis , and can’t seem to get them to work in game
i have the Alesis compact kit 7 and it doesn't show up at all
What do I need to connect my electric drums to the Wii
I really don’t know if that is even possible.
Bro I need help because I have my Alesis nitro mesh kit and I have it hookup to my laptop via midi so I go to mapping and it’s like hit and miss with my inputs on the computer. I will go to a song and I hit the drums and it’s like it won’t register my hits and I don’t know what to do can anyone help me ?
did u fix it?
@@fxjitaz1811 yes I did
@@insidioussnip3r36how? I’m having the same problem. Alesia nitro mesh kit too. The kit is on clone hero, it’s registering it there, but when I go to map something, it doesn’t register any hits, nor when I’m playing at all.
@@heyvist i bought a new usb cord for it and it works great now
@@insidioussnip3r36 alr thanks
What cable use to hook to pc? Does it have to be midi ?
Depends on your drums. Most modern e-drums have USB. If it’s older than 19 years it’s probably going to need a MIDI cable
But how did you connect your drum set to the computer? I assume you have a midi out on your drum brain, but what adapter connects it to the PC?
You'd need an audio interface with MIDI in. Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 is a popular entry level choice, but there are also cheaper options out there if you look around (also consider pre-owned Scarlett's, but beware of defects because Focusrite support blows).
Most drums have a usb MIDI output. Use a usb cable to connect the drums.
THANK YOU!! God that menu is god awful and SO unintuitive! Instead of all the news BS on the home page it should say what the controls for the menu are and how to get to the MIDI functions which are literally hidden!
For anyone having trouble not seeing their drums and all they see is input device.. the answer - use your arrow keys on that screen :).
Thank you for helping others setup their game
Hope it helped!
i don’t have any options under midi settings. i can’t figure out how to fix my drums from being the wrong inputs sigh
You need to elaborate if you want my help.
I also have this issue when I click midi settings I do not have a list of options like you do. It only gives me the input device option and nothing else
@@lifesux2403 I've got the same issue, been searching online for a fix but can't find any
I had the same issue, I don’t know what was up. But I will tell you that if the controls are incorrect or lacking on your drums, you have to use your pc or whatever you have it connected to.
excellent video of the start-up basics which every other video seems to skip over!
I just got this game and trying to set up my TD-17 kit. The kit works and i can select it as input and map the controls. However, the two toms are also acting as "up & down" or "select". And as soon as i hit the snare, it acts as "back". Any ideas how to sort this? I can't actually play a song as when i hit the snare, it backs out.
Mine also acts as a controller, but not after the game has started. So I'm not sure what is going on with yours.
Hello, why when I choose the 5 lane compatibility, I just have one cymbal used during the song ? Is 5 lane not supposed to be the more realistic version of drums ?
5 lane refers to the way the original guitar hero games (not the rock band ones) displayed songs. The rock band drumset had 4 lanes (3 of them were dual purpose, with a cymbal and tom sharing lanes) and guitar hero had 5. Clone hero primarily uses the Rock Band format. Don't choose 5 lane for a midi kit in your case.
why my e drum not detecting on clone hero
Did you select it as midi input device?
this update is a godsend, i used to do some crap with midi2key but this just works!
im not seeing my drums come up in midi settings? any help?
Make sure you're connected, press up and down arrows once in the midi settings.
thanks so much for this info!
So we don't need any kind of adapter, right?
Wrong, you will need a MIDI adapter, which kind depends on your drums.
midi does not come up for me in menu, any help?
make sure your connection is good, press the up and down arrows
thank u man! very informative!
When i hit a pad to map it nothing happens. It shows my drum set in the controller list (alesis nitro)
I had this issue. If you’re using the the usb midi port on your kit, try plugging the usb into a different port on your PC. Somehow that fixed my issue
Hi matey on clone hero do you know if u can get different songs cheers Jamie from the UK
Yes, there’s tons of songs out there, just Google clone hero songs
Doesn't work for me. I've got a USB-A to B cable going from drums to PC. It makes a noise when I plug it in to the USB port. When I go to select devices nothing shows up. None of the drums do anything in the menu when I have drums selected. Help!
Press up, not down.
It connects my td 7 drums but it wont let me map them when i hit a pad it doesnt do anything
Thanks a lot for making this
What midi cable to plug drums into pc? Thanks! I have a roland td 11k
With the TD-11, I would recommend using a standard MIDI cable to USB like this amzn.to/4bfLRXh. The USB output on the TD-11 can be tricky because it requires a Roland driver that doesn't always work with all apps. The standard MIDI output doesn't require any driver.
Hey btw idk if you know this by now, but you can change the keyboard bindings with the space button on the main menu!
What drums do you recommend to play this game? :D
An Alesis Surge would be good amzn.to/44vBsmN It's almost better to have a kit without too many zones on the cymbals like the surge.
thanks very much dude!!@@demonicsweaters
found it.
I Have Portable Electric Digital Drum Kit With Usb B And No Midi Port can I Connect It to Clone hero? Wen I Plug Usb B Into My Drums And Plug Usb A Into My Pc It Wont Recognize Always "None" Pleasee Any Solution For This ?
It should work. Maybe your drums need a driver?
@@demonicsweaters idk What Driver But Even I Trying UnPlug And Plug Again In Other Port I Press Down Or Up And Still Nothing
My only problem is there is no damn pause button with an electronic kit 😅
Nope haha
Is Clone Hero supposed to save your MIDI mappings? Every time I boot it up, I have to redo my preferred mappings for my e-drum set. I cannot find whether this is normal or not anywhere online.
Yes, it should remember the mappings. What OS are you using?
@@demonicsweaters Sorry, I'm using Windows 10. I wonder if some folders/files are missing. Maybe a delete/redownload will fix it, so I'll give that a try. But, it's great to know that I shouldn't have to remap every time. Thank you very much!
@@ryansmith2701 Yeah, I would try reinstalling. I'm using it on Windows 10 as well and it seems to work fine.
I finally figured that it wasn't saving my midi mappings because I had my e-drums connected to my PC via a midi to USB cable. When I switched to a USB printer cable, it created an e-drum mappings save file in the MIDI Settings folder. Maybe that will help someone in my same predicament.
@@ryansmith2701 i've got a printer usb cable and a midi to usb cable but can't get either to recognize the input device in clone hero. how'd you get it to work?
my high hat is only hitting like 50% of time do you know why?
You probably have a dual zone hi hat and only mapped one. Also make sure you map all variations of hi hat, open, close, half open etc…
My snare drum on my ekit hits for all four notes like the kick drum does. I’ve tried remapping, pro mode, 4 lane mode etc. help! I’m using a Alesis dm6 with the usb adapter
that usually happens when one pad has a conflicting mapping setting. Delete all of your mapping and start over.
@@demonicsweatersThanks for the reply. I noticed my snare and kick pedal are both recognized as “note 21” and there lies the issue. Any idea how to change what the snare or kick drum reads as?
I cant type my name when i try to create my profile
I do have one question; is it just any midi drum set or is their specifics I have to buy for it to be compatible?
it just needs to have a midi port
Yes, any midi connection should work
Thank you for the guide!
would the Android set up be the same?
I didn’t even know there was an Android version
Where you get your songs from especially for drums ?
This is the major flaw in Clone Hero. There's not one really good source and many of the songs seem to have been transcribed by non-drummers, who in trying to make things hard, just make them weird and bad. You just have to google, Clone Hero Songs, and dig through the mess until you find some www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=clone+hero+songs
I've got an Alesis Nitro kit and plugged in via usb, in game MIDI settings read the kit but there are no inputs when I do the drum mapping. Anyone have this issue before?
did you push the up and down arrows?
@@demonicsweatersthis is my issue. i have a rockband 2 drum kit and it doesn’t say anything under midi settings. i’m stuck
@@demonicsweaters thanks, i have a bad usb port on my pc. thankfully i had an extra open. fun game.
@@TsukiRaiki had that issue too, clicking on and pressing up or down will switch, and make sure you're usb port isn't bad. That's what my issue happened to be.
Glad you fixed it!
Hi matey any Ideas why my drum module is not recognised in clone hero though mini cable it just says input and the none cheers Jamie
Just press up on the arrow keys and it should pop up
I had the same issue, realized it's actually just hidden up
Is there a way to pause in game using drums?
not that I know of
@demonicsweaters you can!! I see when your mapping there's an option at the bottom to select a start button. I made it the hi hat pedal. I will say playing pro drums is freaking hard! I used to be pretty dam good at guitar hero drums. Fun tho. Good learning experience!
@@ironmike92 Oh that's great! I'd assign it to a rim zone on a tom if you have one or something. I guess if you never use your hi hat pedal that's okay, haha.
Hi Mate, Thanks for the guide. I was trying to conect and when I select my imput device (midi out usb) I cant go down to set or mapping.. do you know why? (I have a Roland HD1 drum kit and the midi out to usb cable on the PC)
hmm, I'm not quite sure I understand
@@demonicsweaters Hi, Sorry wrong question, I already fix my drums and the game recognise the drums and everything.. my problem is that the game cant recognise when I want to hit 2 pads at the same time.. do you know why? its a configuration problem or maybe is my crappy cable?
@@gianmarcolynx hmm, I'm not sure about that. Maybe you have your crosstalk settings too high in your module?
@@demonicsweaters I did not touch any of that config, the "double strum prevention" set is in 0. dont know if that is the crosstalk setting
not sure why you would want to flip green and blue cymbals like that but to each their own i suppose, i personally play with enough cymbals to run 2 yellow (one hi-hat one crash) 2 blue (crash and ride), and 1 green with everything mapped to the order of the lanes where they are on the kit
They're not flipped, green is crash. Having the crash on the left is standard on actual drum sets.
@@demonicsweaters He means on the highway in game, green is on the right and blue is on the left but you mapped them the other way
@@69sixtyminer69 this is the fault of the game developers. Right handed drummers generally do not put rides on their left. If you really wanted to you could do this, but that's not how drummers play.
@Demonic Sweaters yh I just realised its the games fault not yours whilst setting mine up. Wonder why that is. Also open hi hat gets played in the crash. I assume there's no hi hat control in the game yet?
@@69sixtyminer69 no, there's no hi hat control. You shouldn't be triggering the crash though with the open hi hat, clear all the mapping for your crash and redo it.
