Alright guys. I bought myself a Christmas gift...I got a Cubase System 4. Got a pretty good deal on it. It has Steinberg's MI4 media interface as well as Cubase SL...everything I need to make music at home...except on thing...drums. I have guitars, basses and other miscellanious [sp.] stringed instruments scattered about my house...but I don't have any drums! So with the system, I bought DKFH (Eastwest Kompakt Insturment's Drum Kit From Hell 2). This is what I have a question about.

I can't get it to do anything! How the hell do I use it? I have it all installed and it runs and all that just fine. In the program's control screen, it has all the controls along with a keyboard along the bottom of it. You click on the keys and it plays the selected drum sound...whee...but that's all I can get it to do. I opened it in Cubase SL (as a VST instrument) and I have NO CLUE how to use it. It won't let me open the Drum Editor thing...the option in the menu is greyed out. I'm expecting a piano roll type of interface so I can program the thing to do what I want it to do, but I can't find anything of the sort. Do I need a MIDI controller or am I doing something wrong or what? I don't get it...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
