EZ Player Pro – Suggestions

[mpc09]

Unlike most of the EZ Products, this one just doesn’t cut it for me..

For starters: 1)it would be nice to be able to create new, as well as, modify exsting events rather than be limited to adding events via the accent tool; 2) it would be nice if it were possible to zoom into the arranger window to view the events in the clips in relation to the grid rather than moving it around until it sound right 3) it would be nice to be able to assign different drum parts from the various EZX kits without having to reload all the different kits and assigning them to various midi outputs.

I currently copy clips from EZ Drummer to the piano roll view in Sonar where I do event editing and change out the kit parts before sending them to separate audio tracks. Until EZ Player Pro can streamline this process, I have no use for it.

Please consider upgrading this software to be a more user friendlier editing tool.

I totally agree and support your thoughts on EZ Player Pro. I believe the intention with this product is great but due to dissatisfaction with workflow and GUI, lacking of important editing options etc., I choose piano roll/hyper editor in Logic Pro as my main midi drum editor.

What is the future of this product as we havn’t seen any updates for a long time now?

My additional requests for this product:

– Stand alone and full size window application
– Native and easy to use midi editor
– Improved worklflow and GUI in order to speed up work process.

Thanks for your attention.

At the very least, allow the product to be downloaded as a trial version so other people would know what they’re in for prior to purchase.

From the EZplayer page: 

EZplayer® pro is a MIDI organizer, multi track arranger and format conversion tool all rolled into one nifty piece of software that you can plug into any VST, Audio Unit or RTAS compatible master application.

It never was never intended to be an editor. I believe the mistake most unsatisfied customers make is that they look at the interface and make assumptions about what the product does and ignore the specifications on the product page.  Everything that EZplayer says it will do, it does well. 

Sure there is room for improvements within the EZP vision but IMHO opinion asking Toontracks for a “me too” midi editor is a waste of their value creative energy.  Especially when there are so many other companies with a vision already in line with that kind of product.

No question Dave it does exactly as designed. Admittedly, I jumped the gun on the purchase and I realized within an hour that I’d have very little use for it. It is too bad though, imagine an editing tool that can easily combine all the instruments of the various EZX packages into one simple process.

That’s your DAW software. You couldn’t use EZDrummer/Superior without a sequencer – and that’s what you’d use to edit MIDI.

I’ve searched our database for ‘mike spike’ as well as for your forum email address and they both returned ‘no results’. So, either you have registered your Toontrack products under a different name or your Toontrack account has a different email address attached to it other than the one you used on this forum…or both!

Without the emails matching the forum can’t automatically grant access to the support forum…and neither can I if I can’t find you in our database

DOH! (me=dumb bass player)

I think I had Superior for a while then got more products and just registered to this forum again without looking at my saved info. OK.. then I should re-register to this forum with my original toontrack registration email?? Or just switch it? … I guess I would rather re-register and make a clean slate.

[Scott]

No, just PM me with your Toontrack account email address and your name and I can grant support access with your current forum account.
