I often work with a loop area, and have keyboard shortcuts for playing from the start of the loop, play from current location, jump 1 bar left or right etc. I use Logic, but all hosts have these functions/shortcuts. The keyboard is your friend when it comes to working fast and efficient 🙂

So you right click the right “Hi-Hat Open 2” block and click “Copy”. Then right click the left “Snare Center” block and click “Paste/Hi-Hat”.

This makes only the hi-hat play on left block? It works as intended for me, the left block keeps the original groove, but adds the hi-hat.

Are you using the latest version of EZdrummer 2? The easiest way to manage that is to use the Product Manager.

We are aware of that it would be a more elegant solution to have say 16 mono and 8 stereo outputs as an option. However, this is far from trivial for us to solve, for lots of reasons. Our presets will have to deal with these different output scenarios, when you instantiate the plugin in a DAW the number and mono/stereo states of outputs can’t change, etc.

One way to do this is to create a template in your DAW where you route the different channels so that they can be mixed properly as mono or stereo channels. For example, if you use all outputs as mono in Cubase, send 2 of those mono channels to a stereo channel, hard panned left and right. In the end, a stereo channel isn’t anything else than 2 mono channels panned left and right.

We have this noted on our todo list, and as soon as we have some time to spare, we’ll look at this issue, because it would be a better solution with, for example, different selectable plugins (a 16 stereo out, a 16 mono 8 stereo out, a 32 mono out, etc.)

For Cubase users, we have made a setting in SD3 that enables mono out. This is a special case for Cubase, since it’s hard (if even possible?) in Cubase to route a stereo channel to two separate mono channels. The output busses in SD3 will look like stereo busses, but hard pan left on stereo out 1/2 will be channel 1, hardpan right will be channel 2 etc.

That is not possible right now. It would be tricky to implement, since the inversion of chords are complicated to calculate and try to “keep” when changing MIDI. However, if hard things weren’t attempted to fix, man wouldn’t have landed on  the Moon some 50 years ago 🙂

Thanks for the feedback, I will add this to our Feature Request list.

Yes, you can install the sound library on an external disk. The core library for SD3 is made up of 5 separate parts, but you only the first is mandatory.

Since EZdrummer 2, we have removed the need for Solo, since the software now ships with their own standalone applications 🙂

Can one easily now mute the open hi hat using SD3? I’m having the same issue as the OP. I want my closed hat to cut off my open hat (f#1 and a#1). Is there an “easy” way to create a mute group. I’m not getting how this is setup.

Since the open and closed hi-hat are separate instruments (both in SD3 and in the “real world”), they don’t automatically mute each other. You can manually control when a instrument should mute, by letting the length of the MIDI notes trigger a shortened Release in the Level Envelope property box.

To be able to see length of MIDI notes in the Grid Editor, right click the instrument name in the left list in the Grid Editor, and select Show Note Length.

I googled it and found some software that can do this, but the ones I looked at looked pretty “geeky” (you have to set up things manually). Maybe someone else here on the forum knows of such software, or try to google it and see if you find something that fits your needs!

What do you mean by “not link up” – can’t you use it at all (the e-kit isn’t recognized in “Settings/ Audio/MIDI setup /MIDI device”?

Strange, it should work to post ezdrummer project files here (.ezdp files), it might be a bug in the forum system we’ll fix.

In the meantime, you can zip the file and then post it here!
