EZDrummer 2.1.1 crashes each time when importing empty MIDI file

[Markus Wagner]

I found out that EZDrummer 2.1.1 (using x64) crashes each time when I try to import an empty MIDI file.
I have ceated the empty midi item in Cockos Reaper 5.15 x64 under Windows 7 x64 and tried to drag it into the “Drag Midi song blocks here” zone.
As soon as there is one midi note inside, everything is fine.
The crash happens on both of my installed versions, standalone and VST2 (my DAW also stops working then and closes).
This is a stability risk I have to keep in mind, because all my work gets lost and I hope this will be fixed soon.
I have attached the crashing empty midi file and also the working midi file with 1 containing note so it is very easy to reproduce.

Is the “Drag Midi song blocks here” zone to which you are referring in the Song Creator Track mode?
or are you referring to the “Tap2Find” MIDI zone?
While I am curious as to your purpose for doing this, I experience no ill-effect when I drag your “empty-MIDI-item.mid” to either.
Please see the attached screenshot:

PS. Please note that I’m on a Mac. OS X.

Hi gseshleman,
No, Tap2Find is working well with the empty MIDI item.
With “Drag Midi song blocks here” – zone I mean the Timeline (see attachment).

EZDrummer2 rejected the empty MIDI block (but did NOT crash) when I tried to drag it to the Timeline.
It would not allow me to drag an empty MIDI block there.

And that is how it should behave. Unfortunately I have not been rejected to do so 🙁
Oh, and it seems like you are using OSX, but I have WIndows 7 64bit. That seems to be the reason / difference.
