You have checked the Velocity of these notes in question on the bottom of the Grid Editor Tab?

I would assume you can’t make this statement without first confirming all velocities are exactly the same.

Do you really need your midi in Ableton?

Are you on the latest version of Ableton? Chokes/aftertouch were an issue for a while if I remember correctly.

I’m not familiar what “in live” means. If you can add an instrument track, that’s how you get SD3 in Ableton. I think Ableton just calls them midi tracks. You load SD onto it if you’re not doing this yet.

If I understand you correctly…

Add the Tempo Changes manually in SD3.

OR

Drag the midi out of SD3 into your Pro Tools Instrument channel (now it will obey pro tools tempo changes), and export midi from pro tools.

If you just tell SD3 to export something, it will not follow host because the host is not playing. It doesn’t understand there are tempo changes.

I couldn’t tell you. Maybe someone else will chime in though.

It’s an EZD1 product, so it is presented as such.

If you look on the product page you can see the name brands.

If you want to avoid the version 1 products you can look in the System Requirements on the product page and it will tell you which version of EZD is required to use it. In this case is says EZD1, so you know how old it is. I think it’s more preference when it comes to tones than age of product. But you’ll get more features with newer products generally.

I still use this EZX to date. I still like it.

Zoom in more, place playhead, click in where you want the tempo change.

Nevermind when you relaunch Pro Tools, once you deselect the file you applied swing to and reselect it, immediately your swing slider will reset. It is never remembered regardless of what you do yet it is applied permanently and written into the midi when you do it (unless you hit undo).

This is not a global setting. It’s a per-task setting which is a term I just made up to try and describe it.

OR

Are you saying you apply swing to a beat and when your open Pro Tools that beat now has a straight feel? That I have never heard of before and sounds like an issue with Pro Tools. Certainly doesn’t happen to me on any DAW.

Hope that helps.

If it’s the same midi controller for both programs, that could be a conflict on it’s own.

I don’t see in standalone where a midi controller can be added.

In a DAW many attributes of EZMix can be controlled via midi.

Since this isn’t normal behavior, do try to explain more about your session setup or signal flow.

Hard Rock EZX, IMO.

Also a great EZX, IMO.

It’s an FAQ. The forum search is at the very top of the website in black.

Not sure your root problem. But transfer the project correctly first.

Save EZkeys1 file (don’t export). Open EZKeys2, go to File Menu, should say something like, Import EZKeys1 Project. Navigate to EZK1 file.

“So the answer implies that you need additional instances of EZKeys (EXBass, EZDrums etc) in your DAW if you want multiple different grooves playing at the same time.  My use case is (for example) using the Latin Percussion set and adding Conga, Timbales, Shakers.  For this, I need three instances of EZDrummer (one with a Conga track, one with a Timbales track, and one with a Shakers track) to add these individual grooves to a production?”

If Latin has all three of those instruments, you do not need 3 instances of EZdrummer. You need one. You program all three instruments on the Grid Editor for example.

“I’ve looked at a lot of YouTube videos but nobody explains what adding tracks is useful for.  I could see a use if, say, you could switch from Track 1 to Track 2 with a MIDI program change from your DAW.  Then you could use Track 2 as an alternate take for a chorus for instance.  Is this the intent?  If so, how do you switch between tracks from your DAW?”

It’s simply for organization. These tracks do not play simultaneously or switch in real-time.
