EZD-3 2 problems (rimshot volume and crash volume)

[Martin Weterholt]

Hi,

just installed EZD3 besides EZD2 and tonight i connected my td-4k for the first time to Ezd-3. I immediately notest some good and bad diffrences, compared tot EZD-2. I didn’t  change anything.

Problems:

the rimshot sound is way lower in volume than when i used to play it in EZD-2, i can change the midi note or the celocity, but that also means that the snare sound increases in volume, that’s not what i want. Same with the sounds of crashes, these are also very low in volume, again; didn’t change anything.

I do notice that when i play with the band, the crashes seam louder, than when i am playing along with a song, is that the AI that is interfering while i play?

I tried reinstalling the complete midi library and the program.

Please help 🙂

EZdrummer version: 3.0.0
Operating system: Windows 10

We’ll look into it.

The AI is not interfering while you are playing the E-drums  (unless it has evolved beyond our control 😉 )

Rimshots and crashes seem to respond well on our end. Rimshots ring a bit more in EZD2 compared to EZD3.

Make sure to use the default settings in your e-drum module if you aren’t doing this already.

The thing is, i didn’t change anything to the settings, but the rimshot and crashes just seems so low in volume. I just reinstalled ezdrummer 2 with the original midi library and the rimshot is ok again when i strike it. So it has to be something to do with the upgrade.

Different libraries respond slightly different in terms of velocity, EZdrummer 2 Modern doesn’t respond exactly like EZdrummer 3 Main Room and so on. If you load  the  EZdrummer 2 Modern library into EZdrummer 3 it should respond the same way as it does in EZdrummer 2 though.

And can you change the velocity on the rimshot itself, in EZD-3 i can change the velocity for the snare, but not the rim on it’s own.. Should that be a possibility?

[Andreas Walfridsson]

In EZdrummer 3, the E-Drum velocity control applies on instrument level only. In Superior Drummer 3 however, the velocity can be adjusted on articulation level (including rimshots).

yeah, i just bought this upgrade, because i’m satisfied with EZD-2, i’m not going to purchase SD-3..

Just to clarify, are you saying that the EZdrummer 2 libraries play differently in the EZdrummer 3 software or are you referring to the new EZdrummer 3 libraries?

The last comment, i used the default library from ezd3, and noticed the difference

[Damian Blunt]

As Andreas commented there will be differences between libraries due to different recordings i.e. different producer, mic techniques, drums, studio etc.

The EZD3 core library was designed to behave as closely as possible to an acoustic drum kit when played with electronic drums so at default module settings it should be just a case of selecting the appropriate e-drum preset and you should be good to go.

Please see our new EZdrummer 3 E-drums video for more set-up hints.
