Importing EZD2 customized drum kit presets into EZD3

[sboggs]

I have several custom kits that I have created in EZD2, pulling various drums and cymbals from various EZd2 kits.

When I select one of these as a user preset in EZD3, then play some midi (or peck on the drums in the “Drums” tab), only the bass drum has sound. I also do see the levels moving for those drums/cymbals which are silent.

Should this work? If so, maybe the sound files are in the wrong location?

Can you show us a screenshot? Check the faders in the Mixer tab.

Thanks for your question response.

SOLVED! This is working now!

When I looked at the Mixer with a “wrongly imported” preset, there were knobs at the bottom, but no mixer/sliders section at all!

Here’s what I think I did wrong: To the best of my memory, when I originally upgraded to EZD3 long ago, I manually dragged my EZD2 presets into the directory where EZD3 presets are stored. I believe this was the wrong way to import EZD2 presets, as EZD3 will then show the preset as an EZD3 preset (even though it isn’t) …I think that is what happened. It has been like this for a while, and I have moved locations to an external drive as well, so there might be some confusion now.

However, I just saved preset, as a test, in EZD2. Then, in EZD3, I now see where to import it in in a section of the menu labeled “EZ Drummer 2” (see attached screenshot). My “drag and drop import process” was at fault, is my current theory of what I was doing wrong. THANKS.
