You can solo the EZdrummer 2 track in your host and use the click from the host to do that.

You can start and stop the time line with a MIDI controller using MIDI learn, but you can’t play different MIDI blocks on the song track or in the browser by using the MIDI controller. It wasn’t designed for that kind of live usage.
You can, however, create a project in a DAW that supports these features (I think that Ableton Live for example handles it pretty well) and trigger EZdrummer 2 from that.

How is it not working – can’t you get any MIDI signals into EZdrummer 2? When you hit the drums, does the MIDI in light up on the bottom right corner?

1. The way you can add drum hits is to use the amount knob. It will try to add hits where it makes sense in a musical way. Further, you can copy or move the hits from one drum to another (if you, for example, want what the tom 3 is playing to be played on the floor tom) by using copy/cut/paste found on the right click menu on each drum.
If you want to add hits on an exact position you should (as you have done) record them, or drag the MIDI to your host and manually edit it.
2. EZdrummer 2’s windows is not resizable.
3. Keyboard shortcuts have been discussed a lot in the past, but the short answer is that hosts don’t let keyboard shortcuts to be used in plugins.
4. Lengthen MIDI blocks is only possible by copying them, not in the way Logic and Garageband does it.
When we design the programs we discuss these kinds of questions and solutions for months (and sometimes years), and trust me on this one – features that seems easy to just add to the product never are We are, however, constantly updating our products and we try to fulfill our customers needs so keep posting questions/ideas!

In the main menu (top right corner of EZdrummer 2), select E-drum/Manufacturer/Roland and see if that solves your problem.

Bigalz – it would be interesting to know if you experience the same problems on another computer, to exclude your monitor/room/hardware setup to be the cause of this.

If it doesn’t work with other plugins, you need to set it up to work with ProTools.

Do you experience the same delay when you hit a drum in the Drums tab? The problem is latency and it’s often caused by bad sound drivers or having the buffer size set too big (although the drivers are less common to be the cause on Macs). Have you checked your sound card settings in Reaper to ensure that you are using the right sound card drivers and having a small enough buffer to have the latency to stay low?
Another frequent cause of latency is other plugins in your plugin chain. Try to remove all other plugins to eliminate them as the cause of the delay. When I, for example, use iZotope’s mastering plugins they add a delay to my sound. To solve it I master my tracks on a separate project with everything bounced to a stereo wave file.

Your concerns about the click in Tap2Find is noted. I will discuss it with the development team!
The syncing problem has been fixed and will be fixed in the next update of EZdrummer 2.

1. The easiest way is to change the tempo with the “Tempo” knob, found on the lower left side in Tap 2 Find.
You can alos change the tempo of the entire EZdrummer 2 project as long as you don’t have “Follow host” enabled which means it will sync to the hosts time line and tempo.
2. You can’t set individual quantize resolutions for different instruments in Tap2Find.
You can however record a 1 or 2 bar block on the time line and then quantize different instrument parts separately (double click the block to enter Edit Play Style and then right click the drum you want to quantize). If you want to try out a lot of different quantize steps, you should create a copy for each variation of quantization that you need since it’s an applying effect, thus quantizing to 1/4 and then to 1/8 will have no effect.
When you are done, just drag the block to Tap2Find’s drop zone.
I hope this helps you

Yes, you can save a complete preset – including mixer and drum settings in that menu.

If your host support MIDI to be dragged out, you can simply drag the MIDI from the host to EZdrummer 2’s timeline again. If not, you can export the MIDI and then drag it from your hard drive into EZdrummer 2.
Further, you can record enable EZdrummer 2. If you have Follow Host enabled in EZdrummer and press play in your host, the drum MIDI should be recorded into EZdrummers time line.

This is a feature that will be added in the next update of EZdrummer 2 that is soon to be released. Stay tuned

That is because the browser only contains MIDI, that is, the notes for what the loaded instrument should play. So if you load a piano in the main menu in the top, everything in the browser will play the piano. If you load our new product the Mellotoon, everything in the browser will play on that. The MIDI itself doesn’t contain any sound, only notes
