Mr. Phersson,

Today I ran some tests and found that EZD2 crashes Pro Tools 10 and 11, also Logic Pro and Logic X when I set EZD2 to multichannel within the mixer of EZD while instantiated in the above DAW’s.

All of the tests were done on the aforementioned systems, i.e. Mac Pro and Mac Book Pro.

This is a known bug that occurs when you run your project in other sample rates than 44.1. An update is soon to be released that patches this. There are threads on this forum about this, and some temporary workarounds.

You can also quantize the different drum parts of a MIDI click, for example the snare. Right click on a block, choose “Edit Play Style”. In there – right click, for example, the snare on the drum kit and choose “Quantize” from the menu

Is it possible that you have two or more MIDI blocks on top of each other in Pro Tools? Have you disabled “Follow Host” in EZdrummer 2 or removed the MIDI from its internal MIDI track so that it doesn’t play both from Pro Tools’ and EZdrummer 2’s time line?

As Juicy said, it’s just to drag the song from EZdrummer 2 into your host (Logic, Cubase etc).
If you want to keep your song parts separated, drag each part separately, because if you select all blocks and drag them to your host they will be placed on your host’s timeline as one big block. Of course, you can cut it up in the host afterwards in any case

Yes, EZdrummer 2 is a download product. You’ll find the download option on the page My Products.

You still own EZdrummer 1 even if you buy EZdrummer 2, but EZdrummer 1 will be replaced by EZdrummer 2 when installed. All you old projects will open up in EZdrummer 2 but will sound the same!

If you can’t drag and drop MIDI from your host, there’s a trick to get MIDI from the host into EZdrummer 2.
Enable “Follow host” (the button beside the Song Creator button). Remove all MIDI from the song track in EZdrummer, then press the record button (below the track) in EZdrummer (now the record button should blink). As soon as you start playback in your host (with MIDI on the EZdrummer 2 track), EZdrummer 2 will record the notes being played from the hosts MIDI and voilà – you have the MIDI inside EZdrummer 2

That is, unfortunately, the case. I will forward your request to the sound guys here at Toontrack however, to let them know that we have customers who would like that SDX as a MIDI pack!

The upgrades are only for products from the same line of products, in this case it means that only owners of EZdrummer 1 can upgrade.

As Chris said, if you use another sample rate than 44.1 it’s a known issue (read more on this here: http://www.toontrack.com/forum/ezdrummer-pre-sales/crash-inside-live-ezd2/ ). There are some suggested temporary “fixes” to avoid crashes in there. We are currently working on the update that will fix this and we will release it as soon as we can!
