EZ Drummer2 & Solo

[ron-e-g]

I know it’s not recommended to use Drummer2 in Solo....

I know it’s not recommended to use Drummer2 in Solo. It seem to be the only way I can get my Guitar Rig 5, and EZ Drummer2 to both work/share my sound device (ASIO TonePort UX2) in stand alone mode … (outside the DAW).
This is the issue EZ drummer2 crashes inside of Solo when I try to use the tempo option.

Also, I can’t get a power button on the percussive instruments!
Can anyone help me with this?

Interesting thing John, I assume the global you refer to is the one you attached a picture of. And the EZD2 is the one I pictured. I had actually never used the global tempo you showed. When I do, it does in fact change the tempo. It also reads proper in the EZD2 window (I pictured). Soon as I try to change the tempo at the EZD2 interface ..instant crash. Curious thing John, the first time I encountered this in Aug. 2015 (first post), you directed me to remove certain files, and it fixed the problem. Why do you suppose it would no linger work? I mean… soon as I8 open the Solo program It automatically adds back the previously removed files. I will take your advise and contact support through FAQ. But I find it very odd.
Thank You,
Ron..a very satisfied Toontrack customer!

Well, the Global Tempo didn’t work for me, so I guess everything about using EZdrummer 2 now in Toontrack solo is experimental.
EZdrummer 2 standalone will not crash for you, whether using 32-bit or 64-bit app, right?

I’m curious why you can’t use EZdrummer 2 standalone together with your other apps, the way you do it with Toontrack solo.
If your Audio Interface driver is multi-client, there should be no difference using Toontrack solo or EZdrummer 2.
Hopefully Support has better answers.

Correct EZD2 does not crash. One more thing I like about Solo..I can choose Superior Drummer If I wish. Sort of a Stand alone for it. As, it has none. As for the sound cards I don’t know. I only know they won’t work for both. But I just learned I can use Win Direct sound for the EZD2, and the other two, for GR5. No noticeable latency!
Thanks for all your help and input John.

Should I be still waiting for some advise as to the Solo crash problem? I still have not received any advice/contact from support, to correct this problem.

Thanks,
