I believe that Addictive Drums (and Steven Slate Drums) uses a different drum mapping from that used by EZDrummer and SuperiorDrummer.

As Toontrack has released their MIDI packs intending them to be used with their software (EZDrummer & SuperiorDrummer),
(without a tool like EZ Player Pro to translate Toontrack’s mapping),
I think that Addictive Drums will invariably play some parts of the grooves differently than originally played by Matt Halpern when they were recorded.

Corporate espionage or insider leaks not withstanding,
very few companies will disclose product strategies and development outside their “Cone of Silence”…

I don’t have an e-kit or any e-devices configured for my EZDrummer2 implementation,
so this is only a suggestion and I’ve not tested it:

1. after configuring your EZDrummer kit, presets, MIDI device (in Settings), etc,
2. from the Menu dropdown in EZDrummer2 (top right of EZD window), select “Set as Default Project” from the Project option on the menu

if that alone doesn’t work to your satisfaction, try these steps that adds one additional step
1. after configuring your EZDrummer kit, presets, MIDI device (in Settings), etc,
2. from the Menu dropdown in EZDrummer2 (top right of EZD window), select “Save Project…” from the Project option on the menu
3. from the Menu dropdown in EZDrummer2 (top right of EZD window), select “Set as Default Project” from the Project option on the menu

I can’t test Studio One for you bu it works for me in Pro Tools 11 and Logic Pro X.
Have you downloaded and applied all of the EZDrummer2 updates?
How about Studio One updates?

[Scott Eshleman]

while every DAW is slightly different, most will have some method for configuring multi-output VSTs.
I think Logic Pro X and Pro Tools use the AUX track method while Studio One appears to use an “expanded output” method.

I don’t use Studio One but 1:18 into this video shows the ‘quck 10-second guide’ to doing this with SuperiorDrummer.
shouldn’t be any different for EZ.

To your 1st question/scenario, in my experience, when presented with a MIDI song containing multiple instrumental parts,
EZKeys will prompt you with a dialog asking which parts you’d like to import – one or more parts can be imported simultaneously (shown below).
It will attempt to analyze the harmonic structure of the MIDI presented to it but no individual notes.
It also currently has no lead sheet, piano roll or print capability in & of itself.

To your 2nd issue, please fully extract the ZIP file to your hard drive before attempting the install of the DEMO.

When I use Tap to Find, the action of clicking the mouse does not trigger the sample immediately causing the mapped note to not be on the click. It takes a milli second to react putting the note a little behind the beat. The note is then auto quantized out of time. So one of my most favorite and desired features in EZD doesn’t work. If I load it in Pro Tools, the feature works as expected so it appears to be in Reaper.

You’re going to want to use some type of a MIDI controller for the best performance of most virtual instruments,
including EZDrummer and its songwriting functions. Using a mouse, clicking on the drum graphic and the software
converting those actions to a MIDI event will inherently cause latency.
