Do I Need EZDrummer 2?

[Nigel]

I own Superior Drummer 2 and have also acquired a couple of the older EZX libraries written for EZD 1.0 which work okay.

If I want to use any of the newer EZX libraries written for EZD 2.0 do I need to buy EZD 2.0?

I understand the recent update will let me open them in Superior but:

1. What are the benefits of running them via EZD vs Superior?
2. Are there any cross grade options for Superior owners?

Hi,

No you do not need to purchase EZDrummer 2 in order to use the latest EZX libraries (IF YOU OWN Superior Drummer 2 AND have the latest version installed). You will however need to install the Superior 2.4.0 update. (If you don’t have EZDrummer 2 or Superior Drummer, then YES you will need to purchase EZDrummer 2).

1. What are the benefits of running them via EZD vs Superior?
There is no difference between running an EZX in EZDRummer 2 and Superior Drummer 2.4.0.
While EZDrummer 2 does have some features that Superior Drummer does not, these are not part of the EZX and the EZX itself will preform the same in both platforms.

2. Are there any cross grade options for Superior owners?
No. There is no cross grade from Superior to EZDrummer 2.

‘No you do not need to purchase EZDrummer 2 in order to use the latest EZX libraries.’

Just to be clear on this, yes, you DO need EZdrummer 2 to use any new EZX (starting with the Reggae EZX and moving forward) OR the latest version of S2.
