if you hold down F#0 before you hit the note you want to slide down to, e.g. first you hit and hold an A, then F#0 to Slide, followed by an E, you will hear a slide from A to E.
If you hit an F0 while holding another note, you will hear a Slide Down.
I just want to confirm what Shootie is describing; certain EZX:s have instruments specific to that expansion and when playing back MIDI meant for those specific instruments with other libraries loaded, results in another instrument sounding in its place. I.e. it’s not tied to the Singer-Songwriter EZX:s Tambourine, Shaker, Sticks and Claps; the same thing happens when playing back grooves meant for e.g. the Timpani in the Alt-Rock EZX with the Core Main Room Library loaded.
As for contacting Toontrack directly – this can be done by visiting any of the FAQ pages and clicking the ‘Contact Support’ button found at the bottom of the page.
You don’t have the ‘Instruments’ tab visible in your ‘Browser’. Right-click the small ‘Home’ icon in the top left corner and select ‘Customise’. Make sure the ‘Instruments’ entry is checked. You will not find the Instruments among the Effects.
there is no actual “physical” dampening function but you can select the Tom(s) and open+enable the Envelope Property Box to adjust the Release and Slope.
since you ask, I wonder if you actually have opened the Plug-In Manager or if you instead have checked the Instrument List in the Browse pane?
Go to View > Plug-In Manager. Here you can view all installed plug-ins on your system, filter type/manufacturer, etc, Show/Hide plug-ins, update the plug-ins list and more.
There is a button to ‘Reset Blocklist’ and a shortcut to the VST path settings in the Preferences.
So, if you know that your Toontrack plug-ins are installed on your system, you can check that their install path is picked up (VST3 shouldn’t be a problem) and that they are not Hidden. And of course Reset the Blocklist.
First, I think you mix up upgrade and update; an upgrade would be from EZkeys 1 to EZkeys 2, an update from EZkeys 2.0.4 to 2.0.5. The former is from one iteration of the instrument to another, the latter includes bug fixes and/or expanded features.
The Session Organ EKX is a separate library purchase (unless you have bought a Bundle), so it isn’t included in EZkeys 2 Core.
there was currently no promo when you made the purchase on April 21st. The free MIDI Pack promo ended April 1st and I don’t think there has been a free EZX promo running this year.
You do have 3 different Rooms in the EZD3 Core Library, accessible via the Sound Library drop-down menu.
It’s an automatic adjustment for regular key MIDI grooves so it fits the organ instrument better. It only appears when you have the Session Organ EKX loaded.
if you have installed the latest version but loading the plug-in in a DAW prompts you to update, it indicates that you have moved or copied the .dll file post installation.
Does it work as expected in the EZmix2 standalone application?
Which version number is reported in the plug-in in your DAW? You should see it in the upper right corner of the interface and/or clicking the Menu>About EZmix.
