    Hi,

    would it be possible for you to zip archive an FL Project where this is happening and attach to a post here?

    Hi,

    user presets are only stored locally, so yes, you need to back them up before switching computer and then transfer them to the new one. All user preset menus have a ‘Manage in Finder /Explorer’ entry to quickly find their location.

    Hi,

    I am not sure I understand you correctly but if you “only” wish to keep a multi-out routing you have saved in a Project/Preset when switching to another Preset, having the “Keep Output Routing on Preset Change” option checked would help you. This can be found in the Drums and Mixer Presets drop-down to the right of the Library drop-down.

    Note however that libraries have different microphone setups, routings may have to be adjusted.

    Hi,

    there’s a reason for everything but one I could think of is that if the name and pathway for a groove would be displayed in the groove part, it would most often be ridiculously long.

    As Shootie wrote above; right-clicking a groove and either “Find > Select containing Folder in Grooves” or “Find > Search with Tap2Find” would give you results quicker than deciphering a very long groove part name.

    Hi,

    FL Studio works a bit different than most DAWs when it comes to MIDI CC Messages. To ensure that your CC data reaches the plug-in (and gets recorded), first go to the Options > MIDI Settings in FL Studio and check the Port number of your Enabled MIDI Input controller, in my case ATM my NI Komplete Kontrol keyboard.
    For me, the port number is 236. Then I go to the Browser and scroll down to ‘Remote control’. I click ‘Omni-Mod Wheel (Wrapper)’, set the Input port to my MIDI controller’s then move my mod wheel, followed by clicking the ‘Omni – Aftertouch (Wrapper)’ then sending Aftertouch. Now my Hi-Hat opening/closing and Cymbal choking works as expected in FL Studio.

    This also means that the MIDI Preset in SD3 probably will work better when the CC data is set up correctly.

    Hi, if you click the Spotlight Search and type ‘console’, the Console app should be the first choice to open. In the Left column there should be a ‘Reports’ header with Crash Reports being one of them. Do you see Bigwig as one of the processes there?

    Well, one way of clearing that list if you have saved a Project ( remember a Project Saves the entire current state of the EZD3 plug-in ) which means a close and reopen still references those samples on the Recent audio files list, is to manually edit the saved Project file with a Text Editor.

    I would suggest duplicating the Project file before editing it manually, in case you slip on the keys. Should you slip up, a corrupt Project file is not harming the EZD3 app or plug-in in any way, it’s just a PITA if you really want to have the Project intact.

    If you open the *.ezd3p file with a text editor (I used TextEdit since I’m on a Mac but Notepad should work as well on Windows), the first lines are stating the version of the plugin that saved it, which library is used, microphones and their names.
    After that there are two lines of } and then one line of ‘usersounds’ and a number stating how many, ie:

    }
    }
    usersounds (number) {

    After that there are full paths to the loaded sounds, followed by a closing line of }, so an example would be:

    usersounds 7 {
    "/Volumes/SSD_Audio/Audio Samples/Custom One Shots/Toms/SD_Atomic_Tom_6.wav"
    "/Volumes/SSD_Audio/Audio Samples/Custom One Shots/Toms/SD_Atomic_Tom_5.wav"
    "/Volumes/SSD_Audio/Audio Samples/Custom One Shots/Toms/SD_Atomic_Tom_4.wav"
    "/Volumes/SSD_Audio/Audio Samples/Custom One Shots/Toms/SD_Atomic_Tom_3.wav"
    "/Volumes/SSD_Audio/Audio Samples/Custom One Shots/Toms/SD_Atomic_Tom_2.wav"
    "/Volumes/SSD_Audio/Audio Samples/Custom One Shots/Snare/SD_Hopper_Snare.wav"
    "/Volumes/SSD_Audio/Audio Samples/Custom One Shots/Kicks/SD_Alias_Kick.wav"
    }

    Now, if I don’t want the Atomic_Tom_6.wav to be there in that list (maybe I didn’t like it so I deleted it from my drive), I just change the number to 6 and remove the line referencing it:

    usersounds 6 {
    "/Volumes/SSD_Audio/Audio Samples/Custom One Shots/Toms/SD_Atomic_Tom_5.wav"
    "/Volumes/SSD_Audio/Audio Samples/Custom One Shots/Toms/SD_Atomic_Tom_4.wav"
    "/Volumes/SSD_Audio/Audio Samples/Custom One Shots/Toms/SD_Atomic_Tom_3.wav"
    "/Volumes/SSD_Audio/Audio Samples/Custom One Shots/Toms/SD_Atomic_Tom_2.wav"
    "/Volumes/SSD_Audio/Audio Samples/Custom One Shots/Snare/SD_Hopper_Snare.wav"
    "/Volumes/SSD_Audio/Audio Samples/Custom One Shots/Kicks/SD_Alias_Kick.wav"
    }

    Or maybe I had 20 sounds in that recent list which I all want to be there but I changed the name of my ‘Audio Samples’ folder to ‘Samples’ and don’t want to manually find and add them again, I can just edit the path in the text editor and then save it before I open EZD3 again.

    This is of course not an official Toontrack method, I’m just a Forum Tech advisor and how I would solve it if it bothered me. But again, this is not an issue if you haven’t saved a Project and for some reason do not wish to have some audio files on the recent list or you have altered the content/path in some way.

    Hi,

    that looks weird indeed, not seeing that here with my EZD2 User Presets. Would it be possible for you to ZIP archive some of your Presets that show up without mixer and attach to a post here?

    Hi,

    what is the origin of those MIDI files? There is no built-in MIDI file properties editor in SD3, I could think of a workaround but only if it were a few odd files.

    Hi,

    I am using Stream Decks but together with SoundFlow, which kind of sets them on steroids. It’s Mac only and not free, so it may not be for you but what I can do is to make a certain Stream Deck active when EZdrummer 3 is in the foreground and then you can bind keystrokes to buttons (hardware or virtual decks) which makes it easier to navigate. I.e. you can have a button for regular Play/Stop, one for Pause/Play, one for Move Playhead to Previous Start, one for Move Playhead to Start, etc.

    Hi,

    could you please elaborate? You have installed EZdrummer 3 and you also have EZdrummer 2? Can you please provide screen shots of what is not behaving as expected?
    Are you talking about the Sound Library parts and/or the MIDI parts?

    Hi,

    make sure you have the Song Track expanded and that the playhead is located where you wish the MIDI to end up. E.g. if your playhead is at 3|1|2 and you want it at 1|1|1.
