Disappearing instruments

[Robert Burgers]

I love EzD, but I pick and choose instrument and never use a full kit, shouldn’t be a problem aye?

So I made a preset, eg that only has a hi-hat and a timbale. I seem to remember that I did this, merely by assigning the output of the instruments that I didn’t need to “none’ in the dropdown menu. It’s along time ago, I bought the reggae pack when it came out in 2017 I think…

But weirdly enough, over time all other instruments have disappeared and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to add an instrument. Of course I can start again from scratch, but I hope there is another way.

Bring them back in the Drums tab by right clicking on them and choosing from the menu.

[Robert Burgers]

That’s what you would think aye? But alas! Look they were always there.

You can click on the menu in the upper left to load a lot piece from any EZX library.

Sure, but still nothing shows up in the mixer page.

[Scott]

It’s would occupy the same mixer channel as the instrument you replaced.

Well that’s the thing: I’m trying to add instruments, not replace them. Look at my mixer page, most stuff disappeared.

[Scott]

You can’t add. Only replace in EZD3.

Could it be that they instruments disappeared because I upgraded from an older version?

[Scott]

Choose a library. Change kit pieces from various libraries. The Mixer channels are those available in the original selected library kit preset.

Nope that’s not the case. I modified the outputs and then the instruments disappeared. There is no library kit that has only a hat and timbale in it.

[Scott]

Is this a preset you made in EZD2 or a fresh kit made in EZD3?

What library are you loading to start? What are you then changing or swapping out to get the result you have?

I never made anything. It’s the reggae lib EzD2 at the time, that I changed some settings of and then changed.

Hey Robert,

Could you save a project file in it’s current state, zip the file and post it here so we can take a look?

I’m using the latest version of EZD3 and I can’t get it to loose the mixer channels like in your attached project no matter what I try. If I start from a new project with the Reggae EZX and load the Empty Kit preset and start adding the unloading kit pieces, the Mixer stays as expected.

My only explanation would be since your project was created in EZD2 in 2017 that there was somthing wonky between that version and the current version.
