For the first time, I’m using EZD3’s and EZbass’s grid editors in a song. While this provides many more features than are available by triggering them via MIDI from within a DAW, there are downsides.

Today I had to snip some measures from my song, as well as adding mixed meter to several bars, which is a piece of cake in a DAW—but EZD3 and EZbass are fully unaware of those changes. So I just went into EZD3’s Time-Signature Editor and made all of the necessary changes. It was time-consuming, and now, unfortunately, I need to do the entire thing again in EZbass.

I wish I could just copy the time-signature data from EZD3 and then paste that data into EZbass. (Sure, the notes wouldn’t match, but I can easily snip and move notes around. The issue is having to recreate the entire time-signature timeline all over again in each Toontrack product. In fact, I actually need to add a second instance of EZD3 to play some additional sounds, and I’m now so glad I’ve been putting it off because that would be yet another Toontrack product that in which I’d have to painstakingly edit the time-signature timeline.

Toontrack, please, please, PLEASE let us copy/paste the Time-Signature data from one Toontrack product to another. (Or export/import, if that works better for you. Just please give us a solution to this extremely time-consuming problem.)

(P.S. I suppose the same would apply to the tempo timeline, if tempo changes have been programmed.)

Try this: make your 4/4 time signature bars in Grid Editor, drag them into your DAW and delete them from GE. Change GE time sig to 3/4 and make those bars.

That might not be any less work or you might not want to do it, anyway.

That’s what humanise is for. A live drummer wouldn’t hit with the same hardness on every beat.

Is the Follow Host button switched on? It’s at the bottom, to the left of the Play/Stop buttons.

In Grid Editor, look for the Velocity Style menu. It’s three down from the top of the EZD window. Soft, Regular and Hard buttons might be what you need. Is Soft highlighted?

Which bit do you need help with?

[Mick Avoidant]

No sweat. You also save as a user preset, by clicking on the drop menu top right.

How can I set Alternate Hits as the default? It’s quite repetitive to change this for every project…

Yes I have linked the 3rd party midi packs to EZD. It works fine I can use them all and I can browse through them all.

What I am trying to do is also to be able to use them with BandMate when trying to find a match to songs that I have dropped into BandMate.

The problem is that the suggested matches from BandMate seems only to be selected from “Genre” ie my 3rd party midi will not be included since the “Genre” attribute is not set for it. So I am wondering if there is a way to include the 3rd party midi in the BandMate matching feature.

Read my last answer. It must have crossed with yours.
