the fine print at the bottom of the Studio One 4 Artist product page reads,
“*3rd Party VST, AU, and ReWire support is NOT included in Studio One Artist. ”

according to the Get Good Drums website,
their MIDI packs are: “Compatible with any DAW and drum sampler“.

I can download their demo pack(s?) when I get to the studio later
and give them a go…

The audio demos describe which EZX sound library was employed to make the demo, for reference only,
and typically has no bearing on the MIDI being played.

The product info/description page for each MIDI pack will specifically state whether the MIDI pack described is/was included with an EZX or SDX expansion library.

e.g. Metal Machinery MIDI pack “Please note that this is the same MIDI as included in the the Metal Machinery SDX.”

you can use the scissors tool to cut chords on the beat.

alternately, you can place the playhead on the beat when inserting.

ps. if you are unaware, zooming out on the track exposes the beats & further subdivisions.

EZKeys has been available for years.

The forum is titled, “Pre-Sales” because it is accessible
to the public without having purchased the product.

The multiple EZKey keyboard expansion options offer different sound libraries.
To my knowledge, none of them include any stylistic MIDI variations.

“would buying the main EXKey pack and a bunch of EXKey Midi packs do the trick?”
Probably. I wouldn’t see why not…

Jimbronie,
If you look at the product page for the Metal Machine MIDI pack,
(https://www.toontrack.com/product/metal-machine-midi/)
you will find that it states:
“Please note that this is the same MIDI as included in the Metal Machine EZX.“

The serial number is used only once to register the product to your Toontrack account.
Once registered, EZDrummer can be installed on
and authorized on 2 computers simultaneously.
Authorization of a Toontrack product license does not involve use of the serial number.

PS. All of the steps listed above can be (most easily) done via the Toontrack Product Manager.

I run a MAC and on a MAC the EZDrummer2 would overwrite the original EZDrummer1 installation.
I hadn’t heard that the Windows upgrade did not also do that as well.

Sounds great!

only worry: how to make it so that the recording in the daw starts exaxtly at the same time as the standalone version?

i know what i could do is bounce the project with a click track and play that as mp3 and record to that in the standalone and later import that in the daw. Its just such a hassle..

Sorry for the confusion.

I am only suggesting that your performance is recorded in the plugin or DAW, not in the standalone. 
I’m suggesting that the standalone is only used for monitoring with little-to-no latency.

Hi there scott, thanks for the reply,

interesting thought, what would the benefit be of running both simultaneously?

You’ve both said that the standalone runs better than the plugin, with little-to-no latency.

If you play & monitor your performance through the standalone (with little-to-no latency)
you should be able to record your performance at the same time via the plugin in your DAW,
which is the goal, I assume. The recording should playback with no issues.

[Scott Eshleman]

Have either of you tried running the standalone & the plugin simultaneously,
monitoring only the standalone?

Hi,

 

I just bought SD3

 

And then bought 6 SDX

 

I was expecting them all to ping into my email… it seems 5 of them [split between two stores] were actually boxed versions

 

I was not expecting that

 

So they get sent to me… then I’m meant to have a DVD drive to download them [?]

 

It feels a little backwards – the boxed versions are the same as the download versions aren’t they [?] I’m not getting some old version pre various updates and have to pay more to upgrade [?]

 

Anyway – I was just a little taken aback… I’m not used to having software posted to me

 

Thanks

From where did you buy them?
Were no serial numbers provided on your receipt?

BEST ANSWER

They are not the same.
The Progressive Foundry is “63 GB OF RAW POWER“.
The Progressive EZX is roughly 3.5 GB.

For other differences, please refer to their respective product pages:
https://www.toontrack.com/product/progressive-ezx/
https://www.toontrack.com/product/the-progressive-foundry-sdx/

If you purchase SD3, all of your installed EZX expansions will work there, too.

Not exactly like that. The Computer ID is an auto generated identification number that toontrack uses to identify the computer. If you use Product Manager, you won’t have to fiddle with these things – just install and press the authorize button, and go create some music 🙂

My bad.  Like I said, it’s been quite a while since I’d authorized via the website.

My memory ain’t what it once was…
