I’m new to EZDrummer so I’m still in the early learning stage. I was thinking that EZDrummer 2 would allow setup of individual output for each drum component or sound. Is that not a function of the individual midi tracks in midi file type 1?  

Multiple outputs from the EZDrummer2 mixer are described on pg 38 of the Operation manual
and any number of Toontrack videos on their YouTube channel:

Just install EZDrummer2.
You don’t have to install EZDrummer1 at all.
But don’t forget to download and install the Pop/Rock EZX, the sound library & MIDI from EZD1.

[Scott Eshleman]

can you upload your exported MIDI?

what DAW is hosting the plugin?

[Scott Eshleman]

Why not try it and see for yourself??

The cool thing about EZD2 and its Song Builder and Tap2Find search functionality
is that you can record your custom pattern, throw into Tap2Find and find similar grooves.
With the “Show Web Shop MIDI” button enabled, you can preview matching grooves that you don’t even currently own.

Tech support said its most likely my screen resolution & suggested i lower it. I haven’t got my laptop with me at the moment but i think its highly unlikely to be the cause. Lowering the screen resolution will then negatively affect how Studio One 3 is displayed. How can i be the only one that has experienced this problem..? Studio One 3 is optimized for high res display….so am i to believe that if i use Studio One 3 on a high res screen, then to use Ezdrummer i would have to lower the resolution..? Very odd indeed..!

Here’s the pic

I tried to enlarge your screenshot.
Isn’t that the “Follow Host” button enabled (yellow) to the left of the Song Creator button?

is there a way to get the full keymap for Made of Metal somewhere? Thanks in advance.

The MIDI Layout (and kit description with sessions notes) for EVERY installed expansion library
is available from the MENU dropdown shown in this screenshot:

Can you please provide an example of another hardware, software or plugin company that provides such an app?
I don’t want to overlook a resource like that if it’s available to me.
I’m especially interested in:
Avid (Pro Tools), Logic Pro X, Cubase (8.5), Harrison Mixbus, Waves plugins, iZotope plugins,
Steven Slate Digital Media and, for that matter, Apple’s OS X operating system and Macbook Pro hardware.
As far as I know, none of these companies offer a training app of their own creation…but maybe you’ve encountered one.
However, I do know that MacProVideo, Groove3, Lynda.com, and CreativeLive among others have created training courses & videos.
Most offer a subscription service allowing students access to their entire catalog for the duration of the subscription.
I’ve used these and highly recommend them.
Also, there is a near endless list of books covering many of the major interests.
I’ve used these as well and highly recommend them, too.

I thought that ‘auto-quantize’ was only a Tap2Find thing.
I don’t think that it is active in the Song Track by default at all.
I believe that you have to quantize a MIDI block in the Song Track after it’s been recorded.

…Metal Machine Presets requires Metal Machine EZX which requires EZDrummer.

Incorrect.
EZX expansions like the Metal Machine EZX will run in SuperiorDrummer2 without owning or installing EZDrummer.

How does this relate to SD2.0? Do i have to buy Metal Machine Presets, Metal Machine EZX, and EZDrummer so that I can use Metal Machine Presets in SD2.0?

You do not need to buy EZDrummer to use the Metal Machine Presets on the Metal Machine EZX in SD2.0.
and to be clear, the Metal Machine Presets only work with the Metal Machine EZX.
They cannot be used with the Metal Foundry or any other EZX or SDX.

could this be part of the graphics issue introduced by Apple in Yosemite & continued (unresolved) in El Capitan?

people testing the new Mac OS (“Sierra”?) have suggested that it may be addressed in the new release this fall.
This graphics issue is not isolated to Toontrack or even solely to plugins.
Please Google it or check the Apple Support and forum.

Don’t forget the “Randomize” function accessed by right-clicking a chord block in the EZD2 Song Track
and then applying MIDI from the Browser.
