I think this pertains to EZ Bass and EZ Drummer 3.  When I set the auto-scroll to off, (that form of auto-scroll is sometimes referred to as “follow”) apparently the thought is that I still want to autoscroll anyway, especially when the notes being played go off the screen.

Combined with the inability to quickly manage zooming, I have yet to figure out (its only been about 2 hours) how to avoid this interrupting my workflow.  Let me explain – I usually let a track play, or at least let a looped portion of it play, when working on things.

Since EZ Keys and EZ Bass and EZ Drums don’t particularly want to loop using the same loop range, it is sometimes necessary to loop the entire sequence.  Whereupon it is difficult to zoom in close enough to make edits, whereupon this autoscroll thing kicks in (that apparently can’t be disabled with the autoscroll set to off).

So what I think the purpose of this was, was to keep the  user from “missing the part of the  track playing back”.  But when I edit, as a user, I don’t want the grid editor to jump to some place far away from where I am about to make an edit.  Just a moment ago I accidentally deleted a note, only to have the grid editor jump to the end of the song.  Not a big deal, but it does mean I had to remember exactly where that note was, and stop the playback, and navigate back to that  spot.

(Incidentally, and completely unrelated to the above, there is  a little plus button to add a new drum track (which apparently deletes the drum track one is working on, which can’t be undone.) I wish this icon didn’t look like a plus sign, since it is right below the plus/minus signs that zoom in and out horizontally. )

Superior Drummer 3, EZ Drummer 3 and EZ Bass are excellent besides a few workflow deals, so thank you for your fine work!

This was causing me about a half hour of fumbling around.  I wish they would place a pinned thread here, and perhaps send emails to users opted into the newsletter if something like this bug crops up.  (I can understand why they wouldn’t want to call attention to a bug though, as they are all dependent on their incomes from the reputation of the company.)  I even tried “the solution” (using the shift key to deselect and select, keeping the shift key held, then adjusting the velocity point/s you have selected at that point).

Its fine if that’s even the way it works (although too many steps to be convenient) – but it would be a shame for many users to be wasting valuable time, when they vaguely know how it was working normally before an update.  We music software users are keeping in our heads millions of GUIs and workflows, and we need help!

Maybe a little better, but I don’t think I’m doing it right. I’m dropping in a reggae bar. Its responding with a punk rock song, with totally different snare timing. The resulting song sounds a little bit like Green Day, not reggae. Maybe the problem is with Reggae generally. We should eliminate Reggae!

I had a MIDI file for a song by Blue Oyster Cult. For that it seems Song Creator worked very well, at least matching the style overall, and not conflicting with the pulse.

Any more advice?

Where is nudge?

And where is swing? Or the functionality of Groove FX within BFD2/BFD3?

Failing that, can someone send me to the link that has the mapping rules of Superior Drummer 3, so that I can route BFD3 to control the sounds within Superior Drummer 3?
