SDX expansion packs DO NOT work in EZDrummer 2.

Yes, there are sale specials coming up for EZX packs while MIDI expansion packs are typically bundle-priced for savings.
Check the TT Web Shop, your favorite retailer or search the web for specifics.

Agreed. It would be awesome if Toontrack would eventually build out EZDrummer2 to include more MIDI creating/editing functions
especially now that it’s gone standalone.

I will say that since Toontrack’s inclusion of Tap2Find and the other new SEARCH functions, and Edit Play Style functions,
I’ve actually been more actively attempting to build my own grooves. And with practice, I might become adequate at doing it.

But it’s also these new features in EZDrummer2 are what also made me go looking for an EZ MIDI Editor/Step Recorder,
beyond the painstakingly tedious piano rolls found in Logic or Pro Tools.
Afterwhich, I could take my basic groove(s) into EZDrummer2 to search thru the thousands of professionally-played grooves I’ve purchased.

The grid-style filter system in Addictive Drums 2 is a nice start but only functions as a filter tool.
iDrum from Izotope is a basic drum groove builder but including something like a combination of these 2 into EZDrummer2 would go a long, long way for me.
DM1 from Fingerlab is another but doesn’t offer MIDI export. (It does offer MIDI Send Out but I haven’t spent enough time with it to see if I can send it to EZD2.)

[Scott Eshleman]

sorry, yes, you’re right.
I guess with the ability to filter on LIBRARY precluded me from considering a desire to filter on FAMILY.
and # of BARS should be an available filter.
I’d love to see Toontrack include a grid-style filter like the one in ADDICTIVE DRUMS 2 for those of us who can pencil a basic groove quicker than tap one.
Still, I am loving the new features in EZDrummer2, especially the Edit Play Style functions. IMO, it was easily worth the upgrade from EZD1.

You CAN filter on any column, all columns, by one or multiple selections within a column
as well as excluding any selection within any or all columns.

You can always zoom in on it and separate the groove on both sides of the particular hit and then right-click and select to Remove the Kit piece in question. When done, just select the parts again and Merge.

Nice!! I wish I’d come up with that one.
…and it’ll work as nicely for selectively adding a hit or two or three to a particular selection of a groove taking it into “Edit Play Style”.

Figuring that using EZMix as an insert in a DAW was fairly obvious,
I assumed that the OP was attempting to run both Superior Drummer2 and EZMix2 in standalone mode (by way of Toontrack Solo).

I just successfully output S2/Solo to Soundflower (MAC)
and set Soundflower as the inputs to EZMix2 both in standalone mode,
without a DAW.

Tap2Find will search all of your current downloaded MIDI packs and all of the other MIDI packs available from Toontrack’s Web Shop
if you enable “Show Web Shop MIDI” on the SEARCH tab in EZDrummer2.

You can hear any matches to any pattern that you tap or drag into the the Tap2Find window.
Be sure to display the “Library” column in the Results window to reveal the MIDI package(s) containing your favorite matches.
Pages 13-14 of the EZDrummer2 Operation Manual explain and illustrate in better detail than I.

Hi, I am interested in your software, beware: I just destroyed a MOTU BPM software package and an iLok dongle, and I injured a toe. So please tell me: does ezkeys require an iLok dongle or not? No, and I won’t care if it is not in your faq, I DELIBERATELY will not buy your software as long as I can’t find the next message at your site IMMEDIATELY: “this software DOESN’T require any dongle.” Thank you in advance and you don’t have to reply: I will be waiting.

interesting post….
Toontrack software currently DOESN’T require any dongle.
Your toes are safe but for other hardware and software.

it typically installs into a “Toontrack” folder within the Application folder.

I’d suggest bouncing the tracks to audio in the DAW or export them from EZDrummer2.
You can then cut’em up and place them on wherever beats you like.

[Scott Eshleman]

why not “Copy and Paste” only the kit piece that you want?
then you’ll only have one (1) kit piece to remove if you want to make a completely blank groove.
and I’m a little more than curious why you’d want to make a blank groove in EZDrummer….
is it just used as a “spacer” in a larger groove?

[Scott Eshleman]

It appears that you have the Opening Hit turned off completely in your video.
Please note that the Opening Hit is ‘grayed out’.
It is toggled On/Off by the switch to the left of the words, “Opening Hit”.

[Scott Eshleman]

within the “Edit Play Style” window (accessed most easily by double-clicking the groove to be edited in the Song Track),
you can change the kit pieces & articulation used by the Power Hand and the Opening Hit.
