Hi all. I have looked all through this forum, and haven’t quite found anyone with this exact issue.
EZD2, Macbook Pro (Mojave 10.14.4), Yamaha DD-75 e-drums connected to Macbook with MIDI/USB adapter .
When I use the standalone program, every single drum works as expected. Except the hi-hat. The foot pedal won’t keep it closed. With the pedal down, the UI shows the hat is closed, but as soon as I hit the cymbal, the hat opens and stays open on subsequent hits. I can hit the cymbal, then close it with the pedal, to make the classic “shoop” sound of a hat closing, but every hit after that with the pedal down, will be an open hi-hat.
However….When I select EZD2 as an AU in Garageband, everything works 100% perfectly. The hat opens and closes as commanded with the foot pedal. I haven’t done anything else different.
Why would the program act differently standalone VS in my DAW?
This is driving me nuts, because I want to use EZD2 for live drumming, without having to open my DAW to do it.
