hmmmm…interesting predicament
The Toontrack drum MIDI is formatted for and intended to be used with EZDrummer and SuperiorDrummer.
I’m not saying that it won’t work with other virtual instruments or samplers as it has a foundation in GM.

You don’t give any specifics about your platform or operating system.
I can only speak for a Mac implementation where EZDrummer or SuperiorDrummer has already been installed:
That location (on a Mac) is:
/Library/Application Support/EZDrummer/MIDI

I can’t speak to a Windows installation or any installation where EZDrummer or SuperiorDrummer hasn’t been installed first.

Thanks!  

choose <Cymbal Swells> under ‘Play Style’ on the [Search] tab

Do I need to buy Ez mix2 then to be able to play drum less tracks?  

EZMix2 is an FX processor. It does not play MIDI files.

@Trav_1 said:
What programs do I need to play midi files exported from guitar tux to superior drummer to play along with?  

SuperiorDrummer2.0 is intended to play drum MIDI grooves using Toontrack-created drum & percussion sample libraries.

That said, why not just play the guitar MIDI right in TuxGuitar?

Hi, I’m new to this program and I’m wanting to play along to songs that are drum less tracks. Can I download those guitar midi on this site to be able to jam with drum less songs? Any suggestions would be great. Thank you  

I’m confused…please clarify.
download what guitar MIDI? from what site?
how do you intend to ‘play along’?

The EZdrummer 1 to EZdrummer 2 upgrade has been discontinued since December 31, 2015. You would need to purchase a full EZD2 license. Upgrades were made available from April 2014 until December 31, 2015 when the upgrade was discontinued.  

You might be able to find a retailer with a valid EZdrummer 1 to EZdrummer 2 upgrade still in stock.
I’ve heard that they still exist though I have no specifics.

I am on a MacBook Pro core 17, with Logix pro X.
I cannot find any folder or program in my applications folder , document folder, music folder, and so on…
Even through Logic pro, I can find demo version of EZdrummer for instance (and before ESKEY’s demo), but not EZKEY’S full version.  

A common issue that Logic users have is finding 3rd-party plugins & virtual instruments.
In Logic Pro X, you WILL NOT find EZKeys in the Logic virtual instrument “Library”.
EZKeys, EZDrummer2, and SuperiorDrummer2 can be found under the “AU Instruments” menu (see attached screenshot)
on a Software Instrument track’s Inspector.

On a Mac, standalone versions of Toontrack products install to the [Applications] folder, grouped under a [Toontrack] folder.

after successful installation of EZKEYS , where do I start the program ? I can’t find it ?
I looked around for hours but find nothing ?
The EZKEY’S Demo was very easy to install and start but the normal version is impossible to find in my hard disk.
Please, help !  

can you please provide a few details about your particular set-up?
are you running Windows or Mac?
Are you having trouble locating the EZKeys standalone or the EZKeys plugin?
If it is the plugin that you cannot locate, in what DAW/host are you looking for it?

[Scott Eshleman]

Those library settings are applicable only to customers who own and use SuperiorDrummer version 1.0
and who have upgraded to a SuperiorDrummer 2.0 implementation.

[Scott Eshleman]

You can record the MIDI you’ve tweaked in your Pro Tools session back into the EZDrummer timeline
if you have EZDrummer instantiated on that Instrument track.

How can I create Augmented chords and flat 5 chords in EzKeys?
I can’t seem to find a sharp 5 or flat 5 in the chord wheel (even under detail chord finder)

Anyone?  

a search of the forum turned up this very short thread on the subject:
http://www.toontrack.com/forum/ezkeys-help/how-to-add-5-or-9-to-a-chord/

also, please see pg 14-15 of the EZKeys Operation Manual

Does the strings and things new expansion pack feature different midi than the dream pop ezkeys midi???  

Unlike EZDrummer2 expansions, EZKeys expansions do not include MIDI grooves in that particular style.
As stated on the product description page, http://www.toontrack.com/product/ezkeys-string-machine/ :

•Each EZKeys comes with an individual sound library
•Each EZKeys contains the same software including all functionality as well as the extensive standard MIDI library

The extensive standard MIDI library is a non-stylized collection of basic chords, chord inversions, music theory demonstrations, and example progressions, etc.

What instrumental is instantiated on the track in Reaper to play the EZD2 MIDI dragged there?
