Fred, did you figure your problem out yet?

The way you have explained your issue, it’s hard for me to imagine what your problem is. Maybe you should send a screen cap from MPC.

Multiple sequences can mean many things without more information.

Hi Mike. So many options for workflow, that’s why EZ Drummer is soooo awseome!

First of all, if you use a DAW, then you can access the One Shot/Claps via the C#-2 key in your piano roll or on your hardware keyboard/VKit.

If you don’t use a DAW, you could find a pattern on any drum instrument you like from any midi file in your EZ Drummer 2 Library “ANY”… A kick pattern, a hi-hat pattern, or a tambourine. After you drag that pattern to the Song Track (timeline), double click it, to open it in your Edit Play Style window. In this window, right click on the drum you want to copy or cut the pattern ‘from’, them right click on the One Shot/Claps and paste…. and Ka-Bammo, you now have your clap pattern.

Want to perform your own clap pattern? Open up the Tap2Find window on the Search Page. Simply tap with your mouse, keyboard or Vdrums the pattern you want the clap to play. After clicking Show Results, drag your new midi block from the Tap2Find’s midi drop zone to the Song Track. Do you like that new midi file you just created and want to keep it for future projects? Drag it to your Use Midi folder and store it.

Trying to program or perform your percussion but it is not triggering correctly? Check out this advanced video about Futurehit and how to tame it… https://youtu.be/lP0na1BP8rk

Good luck, hope that clears it up for you.

Select the One Shot Instrument Menu. Scroll down and select Cowbell. See attached image or watch this video at 3:40 https://youtu.be/4ExyBoFKgww

From a previous 2016 response….

“For many EZXs ‘Optimized’ is the same as ‘On’ but for some EZXs we have
found that it is better to turn some humanization off for a few instruments.”

I’ve never changed from the default myself. According to the quote above, if I ever hear something that’s off or stiff, I may experiment.

Assuming your playing midi out of EZ Drummer 2. Did you try dragging the midi out of the Song Track of EZ Drummer and into a midi track of your DAW? How does that midi react to your DAW’s grid? Maybe that will be a clue on where the error is. Save an EZ Drummer Project File first.

6/8 can be easily translated into 3/4. If you’re looking for a workaround because there is no apparent solution. Give that a try on either end. You could then change your metronome settings to make up for the 1/4 counting.

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, If you’re hearing 147 eigth notes a minute, your tempo is 73.5.  Maybe you over explained and I missed the point. Or maybe I don’t understand BPMs when it comes to 1/8 note time signatures.

I’m curious about your issue. Let me know if any of that helped or not. Or maybe my comments inspired some new question from you.  Goodluck!

I don’t use StudioOne. Does this help you?…. https://youtu.be/tTcBiqJLvu4

GO into the Roland head unit and reassign the midi to go from the regular cymbal midi note to the squelched cymbal midi note. Refer to the manual of your Roland product if you don’t know how to do that.

To know which note goes to which cymbal you can go to the main Menu (upper right)>About Sound Libraries>Select which kit you’re working with>Select Midi Layout.

Alternatively you could right click on the cymbal in EZ drummer 2 and select Details (in the lower right of the instrument panel) to find what midi note you’re looking for.

You can not solve this with EZ Drummer 2. You must solve this with your Roland by reassigning which note is triggered when hitting your cymbal. Or if you’re using your DAW, you can refer to about 17:20 in this video… https://youtu.be/4ExyBoFKgww

If you’re not using Standalone mode with EZD2, is the track you have EZD2 loaded on  a “record enabled” track?

You should explain with more detail what your setup is, how you’re hearing the Alesis. Standalone or DAW? Are you using a midi interface, an audio interface, or just plugging straight into the computer?

*read page 38-40 in the manual if you haven’t already.

Never heard of such a feature, I may be wrong though.

If you don’t know already. Go to the main Menu in EZ Drummer (upper right), Go to About Sound Libraries, choose the kit/ezx you’re using, and select Midi Layout. That’s the most comprehensive way to see what keys do what on your piano roll to my knowledge.

Go to this menu in my screen cap. Select Track>Export Song as Midi. Do you see that option? That’s how you export midi.  Midi does not contain sounds.

Do you know how to load EZdrummer 2 into Ableton? That’s what you need to do.

It’s not unless they’re Toontrack libraries.

You could export your midi track from your DAW as a midi file. In EZD2 while on the Browser Tab, right click on the User Midi Folder (orange bar on the right panel) and select Open In Explorer/Finder. Drag your external midi files (the one you exported from Reaper) into this folder on your computer, and that midi file will show up in your User Midi Folder in EZD2.

Maybe someone else will chime in if there’s a better workaround.

If you go to the main menu (upper left above EZD2 logo) and select Settings>Audio Midi Setup, you can chose your Device Type and then select the Output. This is where you make you Audio Output selection when you’re in Standalone mode.

You don’t mention your OS, if you have an audio interface, or if you’re using the program in Standalone mode or with a DAW.

I don’t own every expansion pack, especially from the last year or so. These expansions below aren’t focused on brushes or no-snares, but they do have them.

Brushes: Jazz EZX, Nashville EZX, Traditional Country EZX, and Vintage Rock EZX.

No Snares: Nashville EZX, and Rock! EZX.
