Strange behaviour of snare and toms with EZD2 + Reaper

[Merc_3]

Hi all,

I have just recently installed EZD2 and got it running in Reaper. I am using it with my Roland TD-9, connected to my laptop through the Roland UM ONE MK2 .

So far so good. In general everything works, even the triggering of the VH-11 is quite ok.

BUT…something is not quite right.

When just using the EZD2 FX the whole kit works. However I want to play to a MP3 backing track loaded into Reaper.

To reduce latency issues I am using ASIO4ALL and of course at the same time no Windows sounds or so are working. What I still have not quite figured out is why sometimes the MP3 playback works, whereas sometimes I do not hear a thing.

However WHEN it works and when I could theoretically play along to the backing track the one sound I hear from the TD-9 is the snare…all the others, toms and cymbal, are not “working” or they are so silent that they are impossible to hear.

Right now I don’t really understand what is gong on and wonder whether anybody has had similar behavior and maybe even a solution.

I think it is also worth mentioning that the strange behavior with the snare does not happen when using another FX like PowerDrumKit so somehow it must be related to EZD2 I would have though.

Thanks and cheers

Matthias
