Hey Lawrence,

I’ve sent your feature request to the software team! I also included your first post.

Hey Reginald,

For purchase and sales help, you should contact support directly. There’s a button which opens a contact form in the bottom of every support article.

Hey x_name,

If you’ve checked out the product page description and videos in there and they don’t answer your questions, could you describe again what you’re looking for?

Hey axxon,

Register you audio interface on Presonus website and download the audio driver from there. Use their ASIO driver from then on – they’ve supported multi-client for many years, which should allow you to play Windows audio alongside ASIO.

Presonus also bundles Studio One Artist with their audio interfaces. You’d have to purchase the VST addon for Artist to use EZdrummer as a plugin in there, however.

At least download and make sure you’re using Presonus’s ASIO driver, and you should be fine the way you want to run things now.

As a general answer:
If you don’t have a dedicated audio interface when playing music, ASIO4ALL is the way to go. Getting into ASIO may be a bit beyond a single post, but all you need to know is that it’s the only real low-latency audio for Windows. As for handling different audio streams, ASIO calls this multi-client, and some manufacturers support it somewhat, and few have nailed it and support it fully (even handling other audio sources, like MME or WASAPI/DirectSound).

Some E-drum modules have built-in USB audio interfaces, and you can install their drivers to get better latencies than with ASIO4ALL. They probably do not support multi-client, since they’re not “general purpose” interfaces.

My recommendation is to look into a DAW (studio software) to manage both playback of your audio, as well as the EZdrummer plugin. This way you could also record your performances as you play. If you want a dedicated audio interface to manage your audio, many of them come bundled with studio software, so you kind of get a two for one if you do.

There are free DAWs out there depending on your platform. Just make sure it supports importing audio in the formats you want, as well as fulfilling EZdrummer’s requirements (AU, RTAS, AAX and/or VST support).

Another alternative could be crossgrading to Superior Drummer 3 and letting built-in tracker do the playback, even if that’s not the intended usage of the tracker.

Thanks ea350,

I have forwarded your bug report to our team. I’ll get back to you if we need more information!

Hi jbennett6581,

Have you tried updating to FL Studio 20? I can’t reproduce your error in that version of FL Studio.

Oops, I was too quick to reply!

I did some digging, and our answer should maybe be “EZkeys supports drag and drop” with the caveat that your DAW may not.

Looking at your question, the answer is YES either way: EZkeys supports exporting MIDI data, both in stand-alone and as a plugin within your DAW.

Cubase 10 supports two-way drag and drop.
FL Studio, Reaper  and Studio One (3 and 4) support dragging into your DAW, but not from the DAW back into EZkeys.

For other softwares, you would have to export the MIDI from within EZkeys and then import it manually in your DAW. Totally doable, but not as simple as with the above softwares.

Hello Barnaby,

EZdrummer can only export the entire track. If you’re exporting to a DAW, you can use multichannel output into your DAW and export stems/tracks from there.

One roundabout way of doing it is soloing your mixer channels and doing a wav export with each mixer channel soloed in turn.

EZdrummer is meant to be easy, and exporting stems for each channel is what I’d consider a “mixing engineer” level (whether budding or professional) feature. That is probably what led to the decision of not including multichannel export in EZdrummer.

I’ve forwarded a feature request to our software team either way, and we’ll see what they say!

Hi RG,

Yes, you can also drag it right back from Cubase into EZKeys if you want to change the structure of the MIDI afterwards. This works with many different DAWs.

Hey Jonas,

The B half diminished chord (1 ♭3 ♭5 ♭7) is the same as Bm7♭5. To get that chord, select Bm and then 7-5 from the colorations.

Hi GuerillaGorilla,

Thanks for your feedback! I’ve added a task for the next update, but I can’t tell you when it’ll be out.

If you play live, you can turn down (or off entirely) the Snare Trig channel in the mixer and compensate the loss in volume with the other two.

Honestly, at least with the Library of the Extreme MIDI, I didn’t have any problems with the default presets, so if you’re not playing live, you could either adjust the velocity in your DAW, or drag the MIDI you have problems with into EZdrummer and use the “Edit Playstyle” functionality there to adjust the snare velocity.

Hope this helps!

Hey BezO,

If all you want to do is route the instrument mics straight to your DAW (and not use the built-in mixer), a default multi out is available through the “Apply Multichannel Outputs” menu button. You can find it in the Mixer drop-down menu in the top left of the mixer view.

It’s not 100% what you’re after of course, but if you have a conventional multi out routing, you can save yourself some time with that function.

Hello,

It should have been automatically added, since the path is correct.

Under the library drop-down menu in the top right (the leftmost of the three), you should have the “Reggae EZX” listed under “EZdrummer Libraries”. Do you only have Superior Drummer 3 listed there?

You can see what libraries Superior has found by going to Help → “About Superior Drummer 3”, and see if the library is listed in the text box there. You could also check in the Product Manager whether it thinks the installation is complete.
