Hi Nils,

I am sorry to hear that you feel this way but the solution then would be to stop developing new products, which is not a viable option for neither company nor customers in the long run.

The EZdrummer 3 plug-in/application has so much more features and options than EZdrummer 2 that it had to be a new piece of software.

Generally I liked my Toontrack tools, but that there is no way to just exchange EZD2 to EZD3 in a project including keeping of the arrangement is almost inacceptable.

You can Import EZdrummer 2 Projects, so Toontrack is not abandoning you, au contraire. You can have both software installed, so while you migrate to the newer, you save your songs as EZdrummer 2 Projects and Import them to EZdrummer 3, which will import library, kit and MIDI. EZD3 also reads User Presets.

In a DAW, I would simply create a new EZD3 track right next to the EZD2 one and use the EZD2 Save/EZD3 Import function to get the Project over to EZD3, then check that it sounds as expected before deleting the EZD2 Track. If the MIDI is on the DAW Track and you are using a Preset in EZD2, you just select the same Preset in EZD3 and put the MIDI on the EZD3 track.

BR,
John
