Hi,

it sounds like you are scrolling through the grooves only, not switching the expansion library at the top of the plugin interface.
Or do I misunderstand? You are dragging loops from the EZdrummer Browser to your Logic Track and want to edit them and use the dfh EZX sounds?

Merry Christmas,
John

I have DFH as the selected drumkit in the plugin’s screen, but when I go back to Logic’s screen, it’s using the default EZDrummer kit. However, when I drag grooves from DFH onto the track, they go on as DFH grooves, and sound like it, too. I can see the notes from these grooves on the piano roll. When I click on the note in the groove, it sounds like a DFH sound. However, when I click the same note on the piano roll, it sounds like the default EXdrummer pop/rock kit.

One fix I’m using for right now is that I can copy the notes from the grooves and paste them where I need, but I’m still horribly dependent upon the grooves the program comes with. I’d like to be able to make my own parts with the piano roll.

This seems Really Odd,I use Logic 9 and SD2 or EZ drummer,
Normally you load one kit and only one kit can play period.
My Only “logical” thought is >

Do you have EZ loaded outside of logic AND inside Logic too ?
It is meant to be running as an Single Midi Instrument AU in logic not standalone mode with Solo at the same time.

Thats the only thing that explains what you have kinda described.

Jym, what do you mean? How would I go about doing that?

Do you have only logic running with EZ as an AU on an instrument Track ?

…unless the OP is experiencing the difference in velocity when clicking the piano roll as different “sounds”.
Rocky, if you check out the attached video, does it look like it’s the same situation as in your end?

BR,
John

EDIT: couldn’t upload the video, nevertheless the point about the piano roll having a very low velocity for previewing the note persists

I have no idea what you mean about a difference in velocity. I don’t have EZdrummer running in a standalone somewhere else, just Logic Pro.

Just logic,good that rules out 1 explanation.

I will try to answer the Velocity Question For John.

Ez is velocity sensitive right ?
So soft notes are quiet and hard hits at 127 they are cracking, with midi you have values from 1-127 from soft to loud.
In ezy this equates to soft and loud and ;ike some synths it also is kind warm to bright .

In your Piano Roll editor you place notes ,when these are created ,pertinent to drums they have a timing “on” value and a “velocity” value.
Logic like other Daws will default to a medium velocity of only 100.

This may be causing you to think its a different kit.
The difference you described as sounding like another kit (impossible) may be just the fact that you are comparing full blast velocity at 127 to the new notes you place which are defaulting to 100.

What I mean is; when you click the piano roll, the hit produced is very soft compared to when you click a drum in the EZdrummer plugin interface, which is then the hardest hit available.
The piano roll click hit is in fact much softer than the regular hits in a normal groove pattern.
When I try it myself, I wonder if the difference could perhaps be so big that you perceive it as different sounds altogether.

Otherwise it is as user Juicy writes, there’s no other possible explanation than that you are running 2 instances with different expansions loaded in each of them.

Best Regards,
John
