Please review the FAQs regarding the installation of EZDrummer. This one in particular:

(paying special attention to Step 3)

I don’t use Cubase. Have you read this FAQ?

Thank you for the screenshot. I will try this when I get back. My manual doesn’t have but 3-4 pages and the info for my issue isn’t there.

Sounds more like a ‘Quick Start Guide”.
Here’s a link to M-Audio’s combined manual for the 25, 49 & 61:

Please try the “Octave” buttons, pictured here in a screenshot from page 7 of your Oxygen manual.

[Scott Eshleman]

are you on a Windows PC?
if so, can you search for older EZDrummer dll’s possibly hiding on your drive?

[Scott Eshleman]

can you please describe your problem that is not addressed by the discussion above?
please also detail your OS, hardware, and virtual instrument(s). thanks.

Well, had you read any of those threads, you will responses from the official Toontrack moderators of this forum stating (as they should):
“(As is common for companies in any competitive industry) Toontrack will rarely comment on product requests
and more importantly; will never comment on products that may or may not be up for development.
In other words, should a product like what you are asking for be in the works or on the planning table,
you would not hear about it any other way than publicly announced through the Toontrack main site and/or via Toontrack news email.“

Also among those threads, there is also a number of suggestions from the moderators and from customers
regarding the use of EZKeys to generate MIDI basslines for your chord progressions.
Then, from there, your DAW may include a virtual instrument capable of playing bass samples for the bassline produced by EZKeys.

I am assuming/hoping I don’t need a DAW to convert this to a percussion track 10 just for this purpose.
I would think that’s part of the point of drum software, but could be wrong.

I don’t use Reaper. What is “track 10”?

@ToddEricSpencer said:
when I drag a midi beat to the EZD2 timeline and export as a midi file it’s all piano keyboard sounds (like Reaper would do if I didn’t load it on track 10 first).
How can I use EZD2 to create my midi beat and export it as a midi and it be correct?

Seems as though you need to adjust or assign a different instrument in your GM Synth before playing the exported EZD2 MIDI.
Pretty sure that the MIDI does not contain Program Change information.

Can you save your kit as a combined preset and upload it for examination?
Thanks.

SD doesn’t have this tool or does it?

SuperiorDrummer2.0 does NOT have the songwriting or MIDI editing functionality found in EZDrummer2.

@SLAVKO_2 said:
could I import somehow 20GB of loops into EZ DRUMMER 2 and search there,
wherever hit interesting phrase via TAP TEMPO option?
Will the program show me also matched phrases of the new SD’s library??

While you CAN use EZDrummer EZX expansion sound libraries in SuperiorDrummer2,
you can NOT ‘import’ or otherwise use SuperiorDrummer2 sound libraries in EZDrummer1 or EZDrummer2.

You seem to be confusing the 20GB of drum samples with the MIDI grooves provided with SuperiorDrummer and its SDX expansions.
They are two (2) entirely different components of the Toontrack virtual instrument line.
MIDI grooves (loops) are very very small data files that instruct a virtual instrument which kit piece to play,
when to play it as well as how hard and how loud. These grooves/loops usually amount to files as only 5-10MB.
The 20GB of drum samples are the sound files that are played by the software reading those MIDI instructions.

That said, EZDrummer and SuperiorDrummer2 can use/share the same MIDI grooves.

[Scott Eshleman]

I’d suggest changing your screen resolution, at least while using EZDrummer2.
I use Mac’s and have no experience with Windows 10
but I believe that you can set up “Display Profiles” to ease switching screen resolutions back-and-forth for specific software.
Or perhaps that may have been 3rd-party software that enabled that function.

I was asking about was: A drumkit from hell came in my box.

Software publishers & manufacturers often package additional installation files together with base products as marketing for their upgrades
and to enable customers to upgrade more easily, (if purchased)…especially back in the days before high-speed internet.
But, to be clear, installation files are not licenses to use the upgrades or expansions.
Unless sold as a bundle, the expansions would still need to be purchased and registered separately.

[Scott Eshleman]

In EZDrummer2, filter for “Latin” in the Genre column of the [SEARCH] tab.

and don’t forget to enable “Show Web Shop MIDI” so you can audition/preview those Toontrack MIDI packs that you don’t currently own (yet).

I have the exact same problem. Just installed EZD 2 without a glitch, but there is no folder in Applications. Is there any fix for this?
I am running El Capitan on a MacBook Air. Plenty of storage.

Did you run both the Full Installer and the 2.1.1 update?
