I am an idiot. I was checking the list and EZKeys shows up at the very end of the VST plugins. I thought it would be listed right after the original EZKeys . I never thought to scroll through as the original is a VSTi

Sorry to have wasted your time.

Regards,

Rich

Here are the file paths in Reaper. Have to run a few errands. Will check back later. Thanks for your help.

yes I cleared the cache and rescanned. No luck. is it possible that I have some bad file paths in Reaper preferences. I had a major issue in March when I replaced my PC. I actually lost my Arturia software and a tech somehow cleared the file paths and when rescanned that software came back but it still took another two weeks to figure out why EZKeys and EZDrummer 64 bit could not be found in Reaper. I may have entered bad file paths while trying to resolve that issue. That is now okay but I wonder if I need to clear the file paths to Reaper’s defaults. I have no idea how to do this or if it will mess up my other plugins.

I am using Reaper not Ableton. I checked the file path that Mikael Edlund gave me and it is correct.  Reaper still does not see it.

I did not know about the zoom function. Thanks

You can reduce the amount of hits on the drum kit by using the edit page.  Select the drum you want  and adjust the hits up or down. Do this for each drum in the kit that you feel is to busy.

You only get the modern/vintage drum kits with your initial purchase of ezdrummer. You need to purchase other kits individually.  There is a 40% sale going on right now. I just bought the latin percussion kit yesterday.

EZDrummer 2 only comes with the two midi kits vintage and modern. Everything else is a separate purchase

As stated above if you haven’t already done so, install the product manager from Toontracks website.  If you still need the computer name and ID

Go to your start menu and click on the windows icon

A pop up menu will appear and just above the power button is the settings icon

Click on that

next click on the word “about” on the bottom of the menu that appears on the left hand side of the screen and all your information will be on the screen

under “device specifications”

Thanks but I am not using Superior Drummer. I have ez drummer

There is a dropdown menu in EZdrummer 2 when you click on the help button. One of the options is to find the location of the vstplugin. Click on that and then copy the file path for the plugin.

Go into Reapers preferences and paste the file location in the search function box where Reaper finds all your plug ins and click search.

Make sure you add it to the end of the listed files in the search box so you don’t accidentally remove one of the other locations.

It will load the plugin for EZ Drummer into Reaper. Then use it by clicking on the effects button on the track that you wish to use for your drums.

I would go step by step for you in Reaper but I am not at home right now and do not have the steps committed to memory.

Let me know how you make out.

You can also google how to add a file path in Reaper to search for plugins. That is how I did it.

Update.

I dragged a 16th note closed hi-hat pattern into reaper from EZ drummer. I changed the (and of three) beat to an open hi-hat and removed the closed hi-hat on the last beat of the bar but it still played as  two 16th notes. When I attempted to increase the length of the open hi-hat to an eigth note I could not get it to work. It continued playing as an open/closed hi-hat in 16ths. Do not know why I could not change the note length.

 

Anyway, I went back to EZ drummer and looked for an open hi-hat but could not find a pattern with the hi-hat by itself, so I selected a pattern where the hi-hat and kick was on the first beat. Removed the remaining part of the pattern and removed the kick from the first beat leaving me with an open hi-hat sound.  I overlayed that sound onto the (and of three) in the measure. This eliminated the fourth bar of the original pattern.  I then added the original pattern after the open hi-hat and reduced it to one measure in order to create the fourth beat in the measure. This gave me exactly what I wanted.

Closed hi-hat  16ths with an open hi-hat on the and of three, (8th note length,) followed by a closed hi-hat 16ths to finish to pattern. I was then able to copy and paste repeats of the pattern and saved it in user midi with the name of the song.

Thank you. That is a big help. I will work on this after work and will let you know how I made out.

Thanks again,
