Is “Paste on Selected Groove” broken?

I’m a pretty advanced user, and this is driving me nuts.

I’m in EZdrummer 3.1, and I’ve copied a groove that’s in the timeline at the bottom. Now I want to paste only the hi-hat from that groove onto another groove (that has no hi-hat at all, not that that matters). The destination groove currently has kick and snare only. So, I select the destination groove, control-click, and choose “Paste on Selected Groove” > Hi-hat. But instead of simply adding the copied hi-hat to the existing groove, EZd is erasing everything at the destination, leaving me with hi-hat only.

Clearly this is now how this is supposed to work. Is there a trick to this basic feature? What am I missing here?

P.S. The forum won’t let me upload the .ezd3p file. Go figure!!

You have to create a zip file for it.

But…. I didn’t know you were using the audio units version…. I just assumed standalone…. which I believe is vst. I can check that in Studio One….

I just tried pasting a hi-hat on a kick and snare groove and it worked without issue. I can’t get it to fail.

Again, I asked which grooves did you use that are giving you trouble?

I’ve had a go at what you’re doing. The instruments in the destination groove are all replaced by the hi-hat if I choose Paste on Selected Grooves > All.

Hey, Mick. While I appreciate your reply, the issue is not with “Paste on Selected Grooves > All.” The issue is with “Paste on Selected Grooves > Hi-hat” (or with other, individual instruments in that command). Thanks.

Hi there,

Can you save the EZD3 project, archive it (compress .zip) and post it here. I can not replicate the issue on any of my rigs, I have a 3.0.6 version and 3.1 and can not get it to misbehave like that.
