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.

SD doesn’t have this tool or does it?

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

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.

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.

When installing EZ Drummer, where is Toontrack Solo for Mac 10.11, it says it is only for 10.3 – 10.9 ?
many thanks, Graze

EZDrummer2 doesn’t require Solo to run in ‘standalone mode’,
are you referring to EZDrummer1?

PS. Crossgrade or not, your installation of SuperiorDrummer is in NO way reliant upon installing EZDrummer first.
To clarify, having EZDrummer registered/licensed in your Toontrack account enabled you to authorize the SD Crossgrade
but you DO NOT have to install EZDrummer before installing your SuperiorDrummer Crossgrade.

EZDrummer2 Modern/Vintage grooves has lots of “Cymbal Stuff” under the Extras category, including swells.

Beyond the swell grooves, some kits include cymbals that have “crescendo” articulations.

I would download ALL installation disc images and updates from your Toontrack account,
installing EZDrummer2 first, then its updates, followed by your EZX expansions and their updates.

All EZX expansions run in EZDrummer2, once updated from your account.

Not sure why you’d have trouble with EZD2 in GarageBand or Logic.
Can you open EZD2 in standalone mode (from the Toontrack folder within “Applications”)?
