SD3 channels 1/2 output to the Pro Tools track the plug-in is inserted on.

I haven’t reviewed this video in a while but I can’t imagine that the process in Pro Tools has changed significantly.

I don’t have any experience with Bitwig Studio,
but if you don’t have any MIDI in the SD3 Song Track
or in the DAW’s MIDI track hosting SD3,
there must be a MIDI track somewhere in your session that is sending MIDI to SD3.

SD3 is receiving MIDI instructions from somewhere…
There is no ‘Default Groove’ in SD3.

This worked for me:

GROOVE PARTS [ from Section 4.4 of the SD3 Operation Manual ]

“The Groove Parts Button located to the right of the results area allows the user
to access MIDI for the individual drums used in the selected groove.
Groove Parts can be dragged over existing grooves on the timeline to add this “Groove Part MIDI”
to the existing Groove. This would allow you to for example use the Hi-Hat pattern from
one Groove with a kick pattern from another. The possibilities are endless.”

Alternately, I have successfully ‘copied & pasted‘ selected parts from one groove atop another using the options on the right-click context menus.

As a registered owner of SD3, I can add the SSD to My Cart.

BUT if I log out and attempt to purchase the SSD as a new customer, it will not allow me to add it to my cart.

It would not allow me to add the SSD to my cart, UNTIL I added SD3 to my cart 1st, at which time it offered to allow me to add the SSD as an optional purchase.

If it’s RAM use that you are worried about try using Cache mode. (It’s in the settings area under Performance) Using this will load only the drum samples that are being used in your project. The only caveat is that the first time through playing a song there will be a few clicks and dropouts as the samples are being loaded. But after that, the samples are in RAM and everything plays through perfectly.

Hope this helps!

…or ‘print’ your grooves to audio.

What hardware & Operating System are you using?

Without more info, I’d guess you’re running some version of Windows
and that your issue is related to “User Account Control (UAC)”.

[Scott Eshleman]

Yes. Absolutely.

[Scott Eshleman]

No, you don’t need an interface, a DAW or a host of any kind to run EZDrummer2 on your laptop.
It’s funny that I couldn’t find any mention of ‘standalone mode’ on the EZDrummer product description page.
When EZD2 was 1st released, it was a very big deal that EZDrummer could run without need of a DAW, without Solo, etc.

You could use the [Save] function on the [File] dropdown menu.
This will create an EZDrummer project file (.ezdp) that you can open on the other computer.
Note that in addition to the Song Track,
a project file will save your drum kit selection, kit pieces, mix, etc.

PS. I do not work for Toontrack.
I do not speak for Toontrack or want to appear to represent Toontrack, their motives or their opinions.
I was merely repeating a response to a post that I had read to a similar question.

[Scott Eshleman]

Sorry that you feel that way.
This question has been asked previously, and in a nutshell,
the response was that Toontrack takes its retail partnerships seriously.
They did not want to undercut or undermine their retail partners.

Owning SD3 does not diminish the value of an EZX expansion…
The value of an EZX expansion is inherent in its sample library
and the production values ascribed to it. Certainly not “useless“.

If you find them to be “so much money for nothing“, wait for a sale.
I have bought many EZX’s on sale for just a little more than the cost of a MIDI pack.
