unless i am misunderstanding your question,
the answer is ‘Yes, you can use separate keys and strings sections with only one piano library and without the Mellotoon expansion.’

the 2 instrument parts of each grroove are distinctly separate files and can be used independentl of each other.

Yes, host is audio software. OS is operating system (window 7/8 or other).

If your host (Live, Cubase, pro Tools, Sonar, Reaper, et al) is 32-bit, you need to install and make sure the host’s plugin path is set to that 32-bit plugin.

Same for using a 64-bit host. Make sure you are using the 64-bit version.

in terms of posts in this forum,
this post can not repeated or stressed enough

this video posted on May 5th makes note of this 46 minutes in…

[Scott Eshleman]

Sorry. I missed that.
Maybe I’ll have to resist reading and responding to posts in the forum from my phone
(without my glasses.).
I was just trying to help.

[Scott Eshleman]

difference being that if you had had the box in hand before buying you might have known that you were buying only a serial number as is the case with many software packages under a certain size nowadays.
Does the box not state clearly that it “contains no software”?
it is a shame that your well-known music store did not mention this on their online site.

i firmly requested physical discs from the salesperson at GuitarCenter and walked out with official Toontrack-labeled discs so i know they existed for EZDrummer1 and EZX expansions. We all know that they still exist for SuperiorDrummer…there’s simply too much content in an SDX to have to download it all.

[Scott Eshleman]

it was definitely mentioned & further clarified in one, if not two of the live ( and posted) Q&A videos. one of those 20-45 minute videos, for sure.

i know this because i asked Rikk that very question with a follow-up – again because i already owned lots of 3rd-party MIDI.

too late for you now, but if it saves someone else’s frustration,
i’ll try & find a link to the videos when i get back my laptop.

[Scott Eshleman]

from who did you buy the box?
a brick & mortar storefront?

[Scott Eshleman]

perhaps try only 1 or 2 pieces of the groove: only the kick & snare or only the hats…

have you enabled the “Search Web Shop MIDI” option?
is it possible that without enabling this option you might not have grooves in your purchased libraries that match up with the sample?

[Scott Eshleman]

No, you’re not unlucky and it’s not a bug…just an enhancement to the Toontrack MIDI.
They’ve added tags to all of their MIDI that enables Tap2Find and the Search tab filtering.
So, call it a limitation of the 3rd-party MIDI, of which I too own a lot that I can’t find with Tap2Find.

There was talk of developing an algorithm to detect and tag 3rd-party MIDI
but I can’t imagine that they wouldn’t have developed such a thing during the tagging of their own MIDI.
Joke was that some poor bastard was locked away tagging the Toontrack MIDI ’til the eve of EZDrummer2’s release.

[Scott Eshleman]

This may or may not work:
Try copying the MIDI, pasting only the Sidestick to a blank area of the timeline.
Then try increasing the Velocity of this particular section of MIDI.
Finally, copy and paste it back into the original MIDI groove.
Please let me know if that works. You may have to do it in sections.

[Scott Eshleman]

Just a word of caution, before you get too deep into 3rd-party MIDI (like I have),
please remember that the [Search] tab filtering and ‘Tap2Find’ functions don’t currently work with 3rd-party MIDI.

Secondly, doesn’t the 3rd-party MIDI vendors from whom you are buying offer EZDrummer/SuperiorDrummer-formatted MIDI?
For example: OddGrooves, PlatinumSamples and GrooveMonkee – all offer Toontrack-formatted MIDI
(but, as I have personally found out, 3rd-party MIDI formatted for EZD/SD is still not tagged for the afore-mentioned EZDrummer2 features).

Thanks! I got it now!
How I learned to set up EZplayer in Cubase

1. First of all: Install the right update of EZplayer. For 64 bit version in the computer, install the update vesrsion of 64 bit EZplayer (update downloadable at Toontrack webpage at “My Products”, – meaning; your products). Othervise it won´t work. (For 32 bit version in the computer, install the update version: 32 bit of EZplayer).

2. In Cubase: Press F11, to set up EZplayer
3. In Cubase: Press F11, to set up Superior Drummer
4. In Cubase: Set the routings on track named Superior Drummer –
(set input routing to: 1-Ezplayer – Midi Out) & (set output to: 1-Ezplayer – Midi Out).
5. In Cubase: On the track named: Superior drummer: Set the monitor ON
6. Choose a groove in EZplayer, and it play, hurray

(This goes for Superior Drummer too).

P.S.
Made a little video of this > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7SGDdVyzLg

There is a difference between “Registering a Product Serial Number” and “Authorizing a New Implementation”.
— You’ve already registered the product’s Serial Number.
— You may or may not have to use another authorization to run EZDrummer and your EZX expansions.

thanks for the replies guys but this still doesn’t work

I have EZ drummer and EZdrummer 2 and my platform is Logic Pro x so it is already updated

I tried the system pref option – again nothing

Any other thoughts??

how are you running both EZDrummer and EZDrummer2 on the same MAC??
I suspect therein lies the heart of your issues…what MAC OS and MAC hardware are you using?

I have heard that has been troublesome for other (Windows) users and definitely not recommended,
but I’ve not seen this possible on MAC.

I suggest that you uninstall EZDrummer 1. EZDrummer 2 makes it obsolete anyway.
