This is the only EZ Drummer-related section I could find on the forum. If this post belongs elsewhere, please tell me where- because I couldn’t find it.
I have EZ Drummer 2, and I just bought, installed, and updated the Electronic EZX. I am very confused…
The Electronic EZX product page at http://www.toontrack.com/product/electronic-ezx/ says this EZX includes “33 carefully crafted preset kits” but in EZ Drummer 2, I only see three kits for this EZX: Basic, Just Distorted, and Original Mix. There are some things listed under “EZD1 Mixer Presets” but those are just… mixer presets. All the same sounds, just mixed differently.
When I look in the Browser tab, the EZX Electronic selection has MIDI files named like “606 Bent” and “707 bent” and “Vocoder”, but when I play those patterns with any of the Electronic kits, I don’t hear any 606, 707, or Vocoder sounds. And they don’t sound right anyway- these MIDI clips are obviously meant to be played on other kits.
It seems like I am missing some really important step, or maybe my EZX isn’t installed properly? Where are the kits that are supposed to go with those MIDI clips, and how do I select them in EZ Drummer 2?
I installed, EZX_Electronic_WIN, followed by EZX_Electronic_Update_WIN_150, followed by EZX_Electronic_MIDI_WIN_150, and authorized the EZX from within EZ Drummer 2.
EDIT: I found a way to load these kits, but I’m sure there’s a more straightforward way to do this. If the main Electronic kit is loaded, I can click an arrow on any of the individual instruments in the kit, and then click the Kit button in the little dialog that pops up. This opens up a list of 33 kits specific to the Electronic EZX, and choosing one of the kits updates the entire kit, not just the instrument you clicked to open the menu.
