I don’t understand why you have a separate EZD track for each instrument.

I will create a track using, say Vintage Rock, in EZD, save it, and drag the midi into my DAW.

Then I will open the same track in EZD and switch to Latin Percussion. I make whatever changes I can within EZD, them drag that midi into a 2nd track in my DAW.

I now have a rock track and a Latin track and I edit those further within the DAW.

Your view, my view. I really like having multiple instances because it gives me greater flexibility with individual tracks in each kit.

>You have to add a new instance of EZD to the DAW for every percussion instrument.

Not clear what you mean. You need a separate instance for separate kits, which I always prefer.

I use EZD2 and Pro Tools Studio.

>>>I am forced to add another instance of EZD in the DAW and then move the grooves to the DAW track.

I’m not clear as to why this is an issue. I always have at least two instances of EZD in every session. I’ll create the basic track in, say Vintage Rock, then open another instance, say Latin, copy the MIDI to that instance and edit it in the DAW. I find that it’s a great way to work because I get different distinct kits.

Exactly–I’ve been doing that for years and find it’s a great workflow.

I use EZD2 and Pro Tools Studio. I always have multiple kits: usually a rock kit, a Latin kit, and a hip-hop kit.

These are all on separate track groups in PT.

Not clear what the issue is you’re having, but this has always worked out great for me.

Expansion packs include kits; midi packs do not. For example, I’ve bought expansion packs (such as alt rock) only because I wanted a specific sound, like timpani. Having several expansion packs can be very useful.

Drummers I played with over the years always had rotos, so I’m very familiar with the sound.

[David George]

Yes, I do use octobans in the situations where I need rotos. They’re close, but not the same.

Thanks.

Thanks, Martin. I spent a lot of time going through all the voices for individual drums looking for them. In my view, it’s a serious omission on the Reggae EZX.

Thanks so much for clarifying.
