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.

I understand you have EZ Drummer 2 loaded as a plugin inside of Logic, not as the standalone program.

Have you dragged midi files from the EZD2 Browser or Search Tab into the Song Track at the bottom of EZD2 yet?

As an alternative, you could drag the Browser/Search Tab midi files straight out of EZ Drummer onto the Logic track as a workaround if you’re experiencing a bug.

There is a large “Follow Host” button at the bottom of the EZD2 where the Transport is. Make sure that is engaged.

I have never had EZ Drummer not sync with a host it was loaded into. So I’m not sure how to help at this point. Sorry.

Are you creating a Software Instrument Track in Logic X and adding the EZD2 plugin to that track?

Open Easy Drummer 2. Go the the Main Menu (upper right). Select About Sound Libraries, select the drum kit you’re using, and then select Midi Layout.

It doesn’t look good buddy. “This means that the MIDI notes the device is able to transmit to the DAW cannot be changed!”

It might be possible if you’re using Studio One that you can configure it further. I wouldn’t know though.

My instinct without listening to the demos to every expansion would be Rock Solid EZX. The first thing that comes to mind with your example is that over-processed snare sound. I personally would load EZD2 into my DAW and get that snare routed to its own track in my DAW so I could really treat it. Or in my case, I might load the Rock Solid EZX into Superior Drummer and try treat it there. Just my first impression, maybe others could give their recommendation.

No problem. Those pedals are tricky sometimes. Enjoy.

If you want to know what keys to hit on your keyboard you can open EZ Drummer 2, go to Main Menu>AboutSoundLibraies>(Select the kit you use)> Select Midi Layout.

If you’re looking to change what keys on your keyboard play which drums other than the default, I don’t think it’s an option with EZDrummer 2. That is an option with Toontrack’s Superior Drummer product. Though you should reference your keyboards user manual and see if it can change its own mapping.

I didn’t watch this whole video, but since he brings up cross-talk, it seems like a good watch for you…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B8hrwcKSx4

Send a screencap of the piano roll from your DAW if you want, I could take a peak.

Hi Jean. I’m guessing EZD2 cannot fix this issue for you. I’m only familiar with older Roland units. You should conciser adjusting the CrossTalk, Retrigger Time, Masktime,  and/or Sensitivity settings for your HiHats, if that’s the only kit piece this is happening to. I assume either you’re flamming your hit’s by accident or the vibration of you playing your other kit pieces is creating extra triggering. These hits are so close to each other that when you quantize, EZD2 puts the hits on top of each other.

If you have a DAW, you could record into that and really see what’s happening with the midi notes via the Piano Roll.

Hi,

you can set the Quantize to triplets in the Tap2Find window but you cannot have 2 different Quantize values.

If you record to the Song Track, you can first record one pattern with e.g. Kick, Snare and HH and Quantize straight, next record a pattern with just the Toms and use the Triplet Quantize. You should then be able to copy the pattern with just your Toms and paste onto the other pattern. Cut the pattern where you paste as long as the one you copied, to make sure the Toms end up in the right place.

I hope this helps,
John

There is a work around! I’m familiar with that workflow, I wish I thought of this myself. Thank you so much!
