You have another system to test on?

As a workaround, are you using the volume knobs on the Drums Tab?

I believe you. To rule out velocity, hit record and then play in EZ, perform a beat. Then examine the Velocity in the recorded midi.

On the Tom that plays loud once. Does it play loud because you clicked on it with your mouse, and then used your ekit?

If you explanation is perfect, then this is hard to tell what’s going on. If this is a loose description of the problem, I would suspect incoming Velocity. Which can be fixed in the edrums menu or in the Roland Module.

You would find the libraries on your C drive, drag libraies plus midi folder to your external drive. In your programs go to Settings > Libraries and relink to the new destination. When it’s all loading up from the new destination, you should be good to delete from your C drive.

If you didn’t do any custom installing or reorganizing from your original installation, it should be that easy.

Your exact wording is a little off if you’re having trouble. All old EZXs will work in EZD2 if that’s what you have. EZD2 will not use EZXs that says they require EZD3 in the Requirements section of the product pages. So if you bought an EZX that was released ‘after’ EZD3, only those EZXs will not work in EZD2.

Also, there is an upgrade price. When you add to cart, if you’re logged into your account that owns EZD2, you will be able to select the upgrade.

It loops. Best workflow is the down arrow on your keyboard to switch to the next Groove.

Only the Presets that have effects on the EZD’s Master Output (bus) will you hear the difference. For example, when using the Original Mix preset, you definitely will not hear a difference since there are no effects.

If you see a channel effect, that is not bypassed if you route that channel out.

Usually the effects that are bypassed are compression or saturation, but not limited to.

It works on whatever you have selected. Zoom all of the way in to see the notes move milliseconds at a time.

Assuming we’re talking about sending (routing) audio from EZDrummer 3’s Mixer tab to your DAW.

You could set up two different instances of EZD on their own track and route both of those instances. You would need to have the same midi in both or send the midi from one instance to the other. Now you have 32 tracks.

Don’t forget to hit the 3/4 filter whether webshop midi or searching you already purchased midi.

Different Toontrack Products have different midi mapping.

A different example would be is if a product had 10 cymbals. The midi that comes with this product would incorporate all 10 cymbals. But if you play the midi from this product in a different EZX/SDX that only has 4 cymbals, you will start triggering things besides cymbals.

There’s only 0-127 midi articulations. When these products get big, there’s no way to assign all articulations consistently across products. You only get consistency when it comes to the core instruments of the kit like kick, snare (not brushes), hats, 4-5 toms, 4 cymbals and a ride as a rough example.

It’s working as intended. You need to fix this yourself to combine brush info from one product to the other. If you’re getting into brushes and Toontrack, more general info here. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong.

Hopefully someone will correct me if I’m wrong.

Swirls cannot be performed correctly from a Midi Controller. So using the Trigger in/out would just be a lot of extra work to simply select the articulation you want.

All trigger in/out does is allow a CC value to select an articulation of the instrument you’re playing on. So you simply placing the diamonds on which articulation you want instead of using Trigger in/out will be a streamlined workflow.

I did some of my own testing and wrote this. My conclusion is below. If any onlookers have any constructive feedback about it I’d love to hear it.

“When it comes to using brush sounds on ekits or midi controllers there are limitations. Regular brush articulations that are simply striking the instrument work like any other standard drum sound. But swirls or sustaining brush articulations are not intended to be used with edrums. These are more for building songs with the corresponding Toontrack midi or programming beats using the Grid Editor or your DAW’s piano roll. It is possible to simply midi-learn a swirl articulation to a drum pad on your ekit, but these articulations have a duration and speed that cannot be controlled in real time. Simply put, swirl articulations do not yet integrated into live performance.  I read some posts in the past of users having complex workarounds to get this to work to some degree, but it is not the intended use of the software (yet), and beyond anything I want to pursue myself. In the past when working with an edrummer that demands a brush swirl articulation, i would use a capable edrum module and it’s sounds for the snare.”

Everything is at least in the same spot for release notes.
