The latest 64 bit version of Superior Drummer 2 is available to download from Product Manager. Is there a reason why you’re not using that version?

Hey billbravo,

Since you mention the Udu, my guess is that you’re using the Latin Cuban MIDI with the Latin Percussion EZX.

The two Latin percussion libraries have different sets of instruments, so there’s no direct translation between them. Latin Cuban Percussion EZX adapts as well as it can to the Latin Percussion EZX, so generally you will get better results using the “EZX Latin Percussion” MIDI with the Latin Cuban Percussion EZX than the other way around, but neither will translate perfectly to the other.

If you have a DAW, you can always load two instances of EZdrummer and run the Latin Percussion EZX and MIDI in one, and the Latin Cuban Percussion EZX and MIDI in the other for the best results.

Hey Baylock,

Have you checked out the Youtube videos on the Kicks & Snares EZX?

What I’m hearing in your audio is mainly the electronic sounds, so most likely you’re using the default preset and haven’t touched the mixer. Since there are so many different studios in the library, all faders are at 0dB in the superior default preset, which makes the electronic sounds relatively louder than the acoustic sounds. Try loading one of the studio presets and see if it makes a difference for you.

Here’s an example with only acoustic sounds, and then I add some electronic sounds at the end.

Hi Josef,

The preset name is actually set within the preset. The file name is not displayed in the preset list.

To change the name of a preset, load it and then “Save As…”.

Hey Brad,

You could work around this in two ways, both from the memory details menu. The first is to enable 16-bit mode, the second to instead use cached mode. In both cases, once you’re happy with the drums, you transform the instrument track to audio in Studio One (or bounce/export it in Superior Drummer if that doesn’t work). Unloading instruments or articulations you know you’re not going to use is also an alternative.

You can read more here about the ups and downs of either method:

Hey Loz,

You can do it in two steps! Import either track then, on the other track, use the Replace MIDI function together with the “Follow Drums & Chords” or “Adjust Riff to Drums” option in the header bar to only apply pitch or rhythm.

See the bottom of this chapter in the manual: https://www.toontrack.com/manual/ezbass/7
