Custom drumkit pieces don’t play in all expected channels

[Hazy]

I’m having a problem with custom drumkits. When you load up e.g. Funkmaster Jabo Phazed Phunk and play any rhythm you can hear the snare when you solo the FX channel. But when you change the snare to a snare from another EZX, that snare isn’t anymore in the FX channel, although you can still hear it in the other channels where it’s supposed to be (snare, OH, Amb and Plate).

The same happens e.g. in Pop! Basic. There a snare from another EZX won’t sound anymore in the Attitude and GateReverb channels, but are still audible in the Snare, Amb, Comp, RoomRev and Delay channels.

I didn’t have time to check all my EZX’s yet, but I have a feeling there will be more channels missing.

Custom drumkits are an advertised feature, so i would like to have kit pieces from other EZX’s play in all available channels.

This is the intended behavior. Or, rather, the behavior we are able to offer.
EZXs have different sets of ‘Mics’ recorded. The FX channel of the Funkmasters
is unique to that EZX. It does not exist in other EZXs and so when you
load a drum from another EZX that mic is silent.

I see. But I don’t understand why e.g. in Pop! other snares will play in RoomRev channel but not in the GateReverb channel. They both seem to be effects that are added afterwards? Or did you sample all the drums on all velocities with the GateReverb on and off?

Love the program a lot BTW

I don’t have Pop! installed at home so I will have to wait until
monday to give you an exact answer. However, there is a
preset called ‘Original Mix’ for all EZXs and it contains only
the recorded mics/channels present in the EZX via sound files.
The other presets usually add some other channels that
contain effects. It may well be that the GateReverb is one
of the original mics while the RoomRev is a new send bus
with software effect.
