No Sound from EZ-Drummer or SD2 and 3

[BMPNYC]

In both Superior Drummer 2 and 3 and EZ Drummer 2, when I click on a drum groove pattern, I hear only the reverb send, but not the main drums. I haven’t changed anything as far as I know. I’ve never dug in to SD to really get a handle on it, I just drag grooves into Logic and edit the midi there.

I see the drum signals when I look at Superior Drummers mixer, even the stereo output shows up, but they’re not making it to the channel.

In this case, I just needed stereo, not all the tracks, but stereo or multichannel, I’m just not hearing the drums. Even though I can see their signal in the mixer, they’re not making it to my channel, I only hear the ambient sounds.

I’ve never had any issue using SD before

It sounds like you have SD3 set up as multichannel within Logic. You may want to check both your SD3 routings as well as a Logic’s (you might have to click on the ‘+’ in Logic’s channel strip to add more channels).

Thanks BFC.

When I instantiate SD in Logic, there’s a choice, Stereo Output or Multi-Channel output, and Logic responds to that command. I this case I just needed stereo for a very simple beat, but even though the SD mixer showed output, my DAW wasn’t seeing it.

The funny thing is, I closed SD3 and when I instantiated it again, it was working normally.

But then I tried instantiating another SD track, just to see, and there was only the sends again, no main drums.

So I tried just grabbing the SD 3 plug that was working into a new track, and that time it worked.

This is confusing..

…alternatively, you may have accidentally routed the Instrument Track’s output to your Reverb Aux Bus in the Logic mixer.
Or solo’ed an AMB mic or Reverb Bus in the SD3 mixer.

I’ll look closer. Thanks for pointing the way John.

I have no sound from EZ Drummer 2. My EZ Keys is fine. Also on previous mailings on this issue.

What has Logic Pro got to do with EZ Drummer interaction? I use both separately!
