Working with the grid editor today, and the… idk what it’s called, playback bar?  Timeline indicator?  It’s moving ahead of the notes played by about a 1/2 note.  It’s a bit disorienting, since the “hits about to come” don’t sound as they pass the bar.  Was present in 3.0.0 for me as well.

Reaper 6.57.

Hi,

“..are the time signatures reflected on the EZD3 timeline in a way that keeps the bar numbers aligned with the DAW timeline?”

EZdrummer 3 cannot automatically get time signature changes from a DAW so that the bar numbers on the EZD3 song track are aligned with the DAW timeline if there are time signature changes in your DAW session. The best way to sync that up is to import that via MIDI or enter the changes manually in the Time Signature track within EZdrummer 3. It is a track so it will change the time signature during playback at the bar that it is configured to do so.

This is how the Time Signature track looks in EZdrummer 3.

Then the timelines should be aligned.

Hi Petter, thanks for the feedback.

So in terms of process, if I start writing a song with a drumbeat, I should be starting in S1 and using the VST, is that correct?

I’m not clear under what circumstances (if any) I would use the stand alone version.

All the best.

Patrick.

That sounds like a good workflow! Personally, I like to start the process in my DAW when I’m songwriting. But starting in the standalone application works too. It all comes down to preference. Note that you can save the standalone project via File > Save As and then load that project in S1 from the same File menu in EZdrummer 3.

I’m using EZdrummer 3 with FL Studio and they work. The only issue is the mouse control when dragging and dropping midi is not accurate. When you drag the midi, the animation of where the midi is dragged to is not consistent with where the midi will actually land.

 

Here are my versions:

EZdrummer 3 plug-in version 3.0.0 (build 33115) [64-bit VST 3]

FL Studio 20.9.2

Hey, this sounds similar to an issue that is being investigated right now in other DAWs.

Are you on Windows and you use display scaling higher than 100%? Try 100% scaling in Windows or try setting HiDPI in FL Studio to off or “unaware” if you are able to change the HiDPI settings in FL Studio. Note that most DAWs need to be restarted when you change the HiDPI setting for it to actually change.

Hi Andi,

Thanks for the feedback.

We will make sure that the development team sees the issue with how the Grid Editor pattern draw works right now, and that it works differently using 1/8 resolution compared to 1/16.

The Mixer channel name changing was a typo in the manual, thanks for reporting that. We will forward Mixer channel name changing as a feature request to our development team, along with the other feature requests that you listed.

Please note that if the grid editor is open, you can select any song block in the song track and the playhead should move to that groove.

Would like to see you add the option to trial your products, it’s all good taking a look at your product videos but nothing compares to getting hands on, I have tried a few products from various companies in the past that unfortunately did not work out for my workflow of fail to run correctly on my system. You also have a very limited and constrained refund policy compared to other companies. So there is no way to give your products a real test before purchasing.

Thanks for the feedback! We will forward this to our marketing department.

Hey Marsault,

Open Studio > VST Plug-in Manager in Cubase 10. Does EZdrummer 3 show up in the blocklist?

Are other VST 3 plug-ins being detected under VST Instruments? Try clicking the update/rescan button in the top right of the Plug-in manager window. Does Cubase find EZdrummer 3 then?

There should be a EZdrummer 3.vst3 file in Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > Plug-Ins > VST3. Is that file there in Finder?

Hey,

The Studio One loops are in an unsupported format for Bandmate and a future update will include a fix so that trying to drag those types of files into Bandmate does not crash EZdrummer 3.

Hi Robert,

EZdrummer 3 does not use the same database as EZdrummer 2, so you will need to add the third party MIDI by right-clicking the third party MIDI folders in the Grooves tab, and then clicking Add to Database.

The User MIDI folder appears in EZdrummer 3, but you may need to right-click and Sync File Changes to see the MIDI in there.

I’m not able to get the drag and drop function to work at all in Studio One on my Mac

Reply To: EXD3 – Studio One 5.5.2 integration issues? version: 3.0.0
Operating system: macOS Monterey (12)

In Studio One for Mac, there is an offset making it difficult to drag audio into Bandmate. If you aim at the bottom of the drop-zone window of Bandmate, it should work. Our development team is aware of the issue.

Hi Patrick,

i) Having drop a block from EXD3 onto a new track in S1 there is no dynamic link between EXD3 & S1 – S1 doesn’t ‘know’ that the midi has come from EXD3

You are correct, a DAW like Studio One does not detect that MIDI dropped on the Studio One timeline has come from EZD3, and MIDI will not automatically appear in the Studio One timeline if it is added to the EZD3 song track.

ii) You can only mute the (EXD3) drum track via the mixer panel and not the other places where mute and solo buttons appear.

We can see that the Instrument track that you are muting in the Studio One timeline is not configured to be connected to your EZdrummer 3 instance that you can see and that you were muting in the Studio One mixer. The MIDI that you dragged there is not being sent to EZdrummer 3 when it is configured like that.

So, please enter EZdrummer 3 as MIDI Out for the Instrument track that you have there, then you will have a connection between the Studio One timeline and the EZdrummer 3 plug-in. See image below.

After that has been done, you can click the Keyboard/VST button for that Instrument track in Studio One to bring up the EZdrummer 3 window within Studio One.

You can confirm that you are looking at the EZdrummer 3 session that is within Studio One and not the standalone application by confirming that the Follow Host button is placed to the left of the Transport buttons.
