You can also right click any block on the song track to access a menu from where you can edit the MIDI – half time for example 🙂

This is a bug in OS X. We have reported this to Apple and we hope that they’ll fix it soon!

There is currently no way to turn off the metronome while using Tap2Find. One way to mute it is to use multi out, so that all the channels are routed to different channels in the DAW. By default, both the kick and the metronome is using output 1. Change the output for the kick to an unused output (10 for example) and mute output 1 in the DAW – resulting in a muted metronome.

The attached image is what it looks like in Logic Pro X with that setup.

This is a feature that we have on our to do list, since it’s should be able to (as in your case) to write a song in stand alone mode and continue to work on it in a host (Pro Tols or similar).
There is a temporary way around it though – when you have your EZkeys set up as you like it in standalone mode, go to Menu and select “Set as Default Project”. If you now open up a new instance of EZkeys in Pro Tools (add EZkeys as a new instrument), it will have the same settings and the same MIDI on track as when you selected “Set as Default Project” – e.g. you can continue to work on your MIDI track.

EZkeys will start with these settings until the next time you select “Set as Default Settings”.

Regarding the power button on the Percussions Pads – they are available in the Edit Play Style area. Double click on a MIDI block on your song track to enter Edit Play Style.

For now, the tip I can give, is to use EZdrummer 2 as the MIDI source and run the sounds from Superior Drummer 2. Enable “MIDI out” from EZdrummer 2 and feed that MIDI straight into SD2, by doing that you don’t have to keep exporting the MIDI you want to use in SD2.

Remember to adjust the quantize setting in tap2find so your hits are aligned properly. The preset 1/8 might not suit your needs!

Can you verify that the sustain is being recorded properly by checking the MIDI regions?

You could also put the MIDI back to EZdrummer 2’s song track and then increase the velocity on the snare. Finish by putting the MIDI back to the DAW 🙂

If it’s the graphics flashing you are talking about then it’s a bug in OS X that unfortunately was introduced with OS X 10.10. We have reported this to Apple and we hope that they will fix it!

Nice job Are you using EZdrummer or EZdrummer 2?

Is that unsync audible when the MIDI blocks are played from EXKeys’ song track? If you solo the EZkeys track and enable the metronome (the button right to the tempo in EZKeys) – is it still audible?
