    Hey Lawrence,

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
