    Hi,

    if MIDI dragged from EZdrummer 2 is changing Tempo and Time signature in your host, that is definitely a host setting that needs attention.
    The EZdrummer plugin can not set this.

    Thank you for the reply, I will look into that at least it is some information for me to go on. It is odd though because this is the same installation I had when using the original EZD so nothing has changed besides upgrading to EZD2, I never had this odd tempo/ts issue when drag and drop before

    I guess what could have changed – but this is if your MIDI consisted mainly of the original POP/ROCK MIDI – is that the formatting for the MIDI now is extended, so your host may not have picked up any formatting earlier but is doing that now.

    Hi Oblivion Ring!

    We’re investigating this right now. Could you give us a simple recipe of how we could reproduce this? Which midifile file you drag, from where you drag it and where you drop it. Is it the master tempo automation that is changed when you drop the file? What version of Live do you use?

    If you are using Live 9 there should be a dialog asking if you wish to import the tempo and time signature from the dragged midi file. Clicking no in this dialog will solve your problem. If you don’t see this dialog, you have probably clicked “don’t show this again” sometime before. You can restore that option and make the dialog appear again in Live’s settings.

    Thanks for the reply! It does make an automation on the master track for the length of the clip i’m dragging in.

    I have a song set to 90 bpm that has a single drum midi for its entirety. I chose a simple 90-110 midi from DKFH and laid it down for about 4 minutes in length enough to cover the song I was brainstorming. Once I was ready to start throwing in fills and other drum midis from the same DKFH options I noticed that instead of cohering to the 90bpm as the first midi file did it was changing the tempo to what appears to be the original tempo of the midi recording. I am at work so I can’t take a screen shot but that is the basic recipe.

    I am not getting that dialog but I do recall setting it a very long time ago, perhaps something went wrong on that option recently. I will try that options in the next day or so and report back. Thank you very very much for your help!! Surprised

    In Live 8, it’s under ‘Preferences > Look/Feel’ and ‘Don’t Show Again Warnings’ > Restore.
    It should be similarly located in Live 9

    Just wanted to let you guys know the above solution worked. I just had to restore the prompts. I was asked again if I wanted to import the tempo, I set it to “No” and now the midis are again setting to my session’s tempo. Thanks fellas!
