Can EZ Drummer 2 access Multichannel outputs?

[purcellsteve]

Trying to breakout individual tracks in EZ drummer, and export as midi files into Logic Pro 10.7.9
Apparently my copy is the standalone version of EZ drummer, and doesn’t support multichannel outputs?

Thank you all in advance for any help you can offer.

All the Best,
Steve

EZdrummer version: 2.2.3
Operating system: macOS Monterey (12)

Hi,

first of all, I think you are mixing up audio and MIDI files here.

Does EZdrummer 2 have Multichannel output? Yes, both to hardware and DAWs like Logic.
If you need to output to separate hardware outputs, enable the multi-out in Settings > Audio/MIDI Setup > Out channels.
If you are using the plug-in in a DAW e.g. Logic, just add more outputs for your Instrument Track and set the outputs for each fader in the EZD2 mixer accordingly.

If you want to export MIDI and/or Audio files from your standalone EZdrummer 2, both are exported as single files, i.e. not an export split up per note/instrument/microphone.

If you are using Logic, I would simply open the Project you have created in the standalone in a plug-in and then, if needed, drag the MIDI to Logic from the Song Track and split it there. Also, I would make sure I had the Multi-out plug-in version of EZD2 added in Logic, so I could add more outputs from the plug-in if needed.

BR,
John

Thanks John,

This clears up several things I’ve been doing incorrectly, and that’s always progress.Not sure if I have and EZD2 plug-in version in Logic, but this certainly gives me starting point.

So many learning curves weaving in and out, and having their merry way with my sanity. Yea Haw!

Thanks again,

Steve

OK,

you can try out the Logic Project attached to this post as an example. Un-Zip and open in Logic.EZD2_MultiOut.logicx

Cool. Thanks again John. That file may be the one I’ve been looking for? I’ve reinstalled EZD2, making sure I also had the plug in as well as the stand alone.

Still working on that. Looks like this could save a lot of time.

All the Best,

Steve
