🙁

Thanks for your prompt answer!

But that way, I will have to create a different template for each drumkit and mixing preset, right?

Is output renaming available in Superior Drummer?

Hi John,

Understood.

So, I tried it and… it does not change anything. Frame rate always reverts to 44.1Khz.

BR, Erix.

Thanks Henrik. My problem is not changing the buffer size, but to change frame rates.

Hi John,

Apparently, I cannot access this thread because I don’t own a Superior Drummer 3 software (I’m using EZDrummer 2).

Here is the message I get when I try to access the link you posted:
<p class=”color-text-ezdrummer”>Superior Drummer 3 is required to read and reply to this thread.</p>
Any chance you can copy / paste the solution proposed here?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards, Eric.

I have the same kind of issues with a recent Focusrite 2i4:

• sometimes audio system is lagging
• I cannot change the ASIO settings, I’m stuck on 44100Hz frame rate

Seems EZDrummer is not fully compatible with Focusrite 2i4 ASIO driver, or the opposite, I don’t know.

Would be great if someone from ToonTrack could align with Focusrite engineering, who is a clear leader in entry level USB 2 audio interfaces.

Thank you Bryan.

Thanks Donna.
I know I can edit the blocks one by one in the DAW, but that is certainly not convenient.
Let’s suppose I have 20 different chords in my song and I want to have a slight change in the positioning of one chord within each bar.
I will have to edit the 20 chords, repeating 20 times the same long sequence of manual operations.
And next time I want to create backtracks with the same rhythm signature I will have to do it again and again?

No, I would like to be able to edit/tweak/fix the rhythm directly in the pattern in EZKeys, so that the MIDI blocks will be generated accordingly.

Right now, EZKeys proposes enough flexibility about how chords and harmony are generated.
(I’d like to see support for cadences though).
But I cannot see any way to influence the rhythm part, and that’s definitely missing.
We need to be able to position how chords are played in time, to support our compositions.

A tool like Songtrix provides great flexibility with regards to this.

Another to way to manage this would be to have a much more complete library of MIDI blocks.
Even with the MIDI packs, the list of available blocks is incredibly short.
With EZDrummer with have thousands of blocks when we not even have dozens of them in EZKey.

Right now, there is a very limited chance I can generate a suitable backtrack with EZKey, supporting what I cant to play, mainly becuase we cannot adjust the rhythm or pick one that fits my needs.

I think the toontrack team should really consider this.

Exactly, I was thinking using a Surface Pro 3 too.
Today I have an ASUS with Touch Screen, it’s a 14″ full HD screen and EZKey is already very small on it, it will be even worse on the SP3.

[Eric Samson]

No I’m not talking about 3 blocks. A typical song has >20 MIDI blocks.
When I drag & drop them there are all merged into a single MIDI block in the DAW.
Then if I want to change a bar in the DAW, I need to split the block in 3 parts (before the bar, the bar and after the bar).

[Eric Samson]

I undersatnd your answer, but this is really annoying…

[Eric Samson]

Thank you, good to know you’re working on it.

Please note there are 2 different requests in my post, one about the main windows, the other one about UI Elements.

Please also note I’l lbe glad to be a beta-tester if needed, as I do have an ultrabook with touch-enabled high-pixel density screen.

As a former developer I know that resizeable UIs can be tricky to implement, but they become important in a world where touch-screens are prevalent and screen size goes from 5″ (like smartphones) up to 80″ (like Microsoft PPI), with all intermediate formats available in the middle.

[Eric Samson]

That is really unfortunate as you say as it makes the whole process much less efficient.

[Eric Samson]

As I said I already bought 2 MIDI packs, but their content is somewhat limited.
I’m glad I can add other MIDI files in the browser, I’ll definitely try it, but that’s for a different use.

What I really need is to get a piano backtracking that is suitable for me, e.g. with rhythm patterns that are compatible with what I intend to play on top of that backtracking.

The list of patterns is so limited (even with the 2 MIDI Packs) that I’m looking for a way to modify them so that they fit with my rhythmic needs.

[Eric Samson]

I did some testing, and I have the feeling the EZD file is saved within the Reaper project, but I could not find where.

BTW: I cannot drag and drop from EZKeys UI to a DAW track, but I suppose this is because it is a demo version, right?

[Eric Samson]

Mee stoopid!
I just saw I can drag and drop from EZD window to the track in my DAW.
That’s what I wanted.

No my new question is: When I save the project in my DAW, is the EZD song structure saved too in an EZD file?
