Using multiple grooves together in Song Track

[Chad]

Hi,

I’m using Windows 11, Studio One 7, and EZDrummer 3 with the Latin Percussion kit.

What I’d like to do is this:

I have a shaker groove drug into the Song Track, which is great. I’d like to add a cajon groove as well and hear both of them together. Whenever I drag a cajon groove over the shaker groove, though, it just replaces the shaker groove.

I also tried adding a second song track so that the shaker is on Track 1 and the cajon is on Track 2, but only the selected Track (either 1 or 2) will play at one time.

I do know how to do what I want when I drag the grooves from EZD into my Studio One arranger window, but it seems as though there should be a way to do it all within EZDrummer 3 using the Song Track; I just can’t seem to find how.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Operating system: Windows 11

The song track allows you to audition multiple different grooves in the same song. You need to create a second track in your DAW with EZdrummer on it and have that second instance play your other midi groove.

Hi there,

Instead of dragging the cajon to the song track copy it and then Right/Option click the track and select: Paste on Selected Groove > Cajon

That will merge the cajon with whatever is on the track/section.

Thanks, I’ll give that a shot. I’m not sure I know how to copy a groove (I’ve always just dragged and dropped either into the Song Track in EZD3 or directly into the Studio One arranger window), but I imagine I should be able to figure it out.
