I’m running 2 instances of EZDrummer2 at the same time; the standard Vintage kit, and the Southern Soul 70’s kit.
I have loaded the sound of 1 rack tom from the vintage kit, and 1 rack tom from the Southern Soul 70’s kit. The articulation detail pop out shows them on MIDI notes C2, and B1 respectively. The other tom slots are set to empty.
When I play either note, it’s triggering both toms at the same time. Apparently when EZDrummer detects that a tom is missing from a slot, it goes ahead and routes the inbound note to an active tom, because it thinks that’s a good idea.
Is it possible to make it stop doing this?
That is a feature of the software to ensure MIDI plays back close to intended if there are missing instruments. I can understand in your situation that this is undesirable though. Could you not load both toms in one instance of EZdrummer 2?

Thanks for the response Damian
To have 3 toms, I can indeed load 2 toms from the Vintage kit to the Southern 70’s kit (not the other way around as the Vintage kit only has 2 tom slots).
However, the mics and room sound is quite different from one expansion to the other. Loading in kit pieces from different EZdrummer expansions I find, doesn’t sound as good as using separate instances, to get the room sound where it was originally recorded.
Perhaps there’s another work around?
The room sound will remain the same if you load a drum into a different library but other factors such as levels, routing, and effects will have effect the sound. The closest you’ll get to the sound of the original library is if you use the ‘Original Mix’ preset which uses no effects processing (this is comparing to the ‘Original Mix’ preset in the original library). If you are trying to use the software in an advanced way with e-drums it may be worth considering upgrading to Superior 2 which would give a you a lot more flexibility with regard to routing, levels, MIDI mapping etc.
