Hi,

you can indeed load drums from other EZX:s but the Latin Percussion is a special case, since the instrument positions and MIDI assignments do not fit the rest of the line-up. I think you only can load the Crash Cymbals from the Latin Percussion into other EZX:s.

I.e. you are not doing anything wrong.
You can have 2 instances loaded in your host and unload unused instruments.

BR,
John

What speaks against two different tracks? A track for the drums and a second track for the percussion?

License transfer fees countervalue is $ 2,250.00
(done...)

So my anger about the Toontrack license transfer fee introduced in June 2021 is not entirely unfounded...

This would be the way I would to it too. Will also let you have separated MIDI for drums and percussion, and easier to mix the two separately 🙂

I just see what you mean but I failed to be clear in what I use EZD2 for. I have an electric drum set and I want to assign my toms and cymbals to different Latin percussion instruments while I still have the drum bass and snare from the drum presets. I’m not recording or making tracks. I want to practice cumbia music and other Latin style music on my e-drums.

It’s like John said, on the toms position you can only load toms from other libraries etc.

You will probably have to do some tweaking in a DAW (Cubase, Reaper, or similar). In there you have to load two instances of EZdrummer 2, and make the MIDI routing in the DAW, so that the correct MIDI notes goes to the correct instrument in each EZdrummer 2…

Yeah that makes sense, I actually didn’t think of that. I use FL studio so I’m sure I can set it up to my preferences in there. I’ll have more options to play with in a DAW than the standalone. Thank you!
