Topic: Shaker won’t play (and is not muted via “M”)

Participant

I’m brand new to EZ Drummer 3, and have run into something I can’t figure out.

I added a shaker to a groove by going into Drums > Edit Play Style > Shaker, and turning up the Amount. It worked fine. I was experimenting a bit with Grid Editor (trying to move things around). Now… I come back in, and the Shaker won’t play. Some symptoms:

In Grid Editor, the Shaker is greyed out. If I click on it, no sound. (Clicking on any other line triggers its instrument’s sound.) If I expand the Articulations and click on either Accent or Shake, a little speaker next to an “X” flashes.
In Edit Play Style, even when clicking on the Shaker makes no sound, and when I click a little speaker next to an “X” flashes within the larger Shaker icon. (Whereas clicking on either the Tambourine or the Claps makes the appropriate sound.
I tried dragging a new groove into the play area, but I get the same thing: no shaker.

Here’s a screenshot of the Grid Editor, showing how the Shaker is greyed out (but not “Muted”).

And BTW, this is only when I run EZ Drummer as a plugin from within GarageBand. When I run it standalone, with the same groove, the shaker works just fine. Here’s another screenshot (standalone mode), with the shaker not greyed out, and working just fine.

It seems that somehow I’ve managed to “mute” the shaker, but not via the “M” button. Any suggestions on how I can get it back?

Many thanks! — Steve
