No drag and drop for song structures

[taykahike]

I just purchased EZDrummer 2.1.8 for Mac. I’m trying out various features, including the Song Creator’s ability to drag song structures into the area that says “Drag MIDI song blocks here.” There is no play arrow next to the baked-in song structures as pictured in the manual, and I’m unable to drag them to the designated area in the UI. The “Load structure into track” option in the context menu is disabled as well. Am I missing something.

EZdrummer version: 2.1.8
Operating system: macOS High Sierra (10.13)

You need to drag a MIDI file to the Song Creator’s drop zone first. This is the MIDI that the Song Creator will generate its different song parts from!

I’m not exactly sure what this means, but I assume I have to have a MIDI file from another application that contains information about a drum kit so EZDrummer can use that for the song structure. I’ll do some more research. Thanks.

Well, you can just use any MIDI groove from EZdrummer 2! When you find a groove in the Search tab, drag it to the Drop Zone of the Song Creator, and you’ll get suggestions on matching parts to build an entire song.

You can also drag MIDI from the song track, or as you say – from an external source 🙂
