Ah cool – never noticed that before, but that sounds like a useful Plan B if you need it. Looking forward to the release.

Thank you Ollie, sounds great! I’m sure you’re right and it will work very well most of the time. It’s just given me an idea though – don’t know if anyone else would find this useful, but how about an option to “delete all kit except this instrument?” That way if you had Solid Rock but wanted the Metalheads snare and the replacement wasn’t quite enough in terms of mixer functionality, you could just set snare to NONE, fire up a 2nd instance of EZD2 Metalheads, then in one click delete all kit except the snare. Copy the midi part and voila!

I’ve seen that there’s some more info about EZD2 now (reading this month’s Sound On Sound). Very interested to read that you can easily swap kit parts for ones from your other EZXs – potentially this is a killer feature worth the upgrade alone. It’s the one feature I’ve been longing for, but it’s always been a tall ask because, when you think about it, it becomes pretty complex. So can you guys tell us a little more about how this works in practice? Specifically, different EXs have different mixer options, room sounds etc. So lets say you want to switch out a snare in Metalheadz. There are channels for top, bottom and trigger, plus spill comes in on the overheads and room channels (and there’s a bleed option). Now I choose to load a snare from Rock Solid. This has only one mixer channel for the snare itself, but spill comes in on overheads, room, mono room and comp, plus there’s no bleed control. A tricky scenario – how will EZ2 manage this?
