For the most part, the MIDI works perfectly fine between EZX MIDI and SDX MIDI. Of course there are exceptions. The Latin Cuban Percussion EZX MIDI won’t pay back properly if you load a drum kit.

And some of the MIDI grooves utilize specific kit pieces found only in specific libraries, they won’t trigger without them properly. But, it’s just MIDI and may yield interesting results anyway.

Thanks for the reply.

So is there a compatibility list/chart anywhere?

Or is it just a leap of faith? 😉

Well, if you have the EZX, the MIDI will playback 100% correct when using the sound library that it came with. If you want to then try an SDX kit with that MIDI, I would say 99% will pay back perfect with the 1% being specific to the EZX.

For the most part its common sense. Like if you have MIDI from the Electronic EZX and expect perfect playback with an acoustic kit, it most likely with have some odd hits. But, it also may be wicked cool 😎

If you want to check and see what it will sound like, you can browse the entire Toontrack MIDI library (EZXs MIDI, SDXs MIDI, or MIDI packs) by using the Show Webshop MIDI option in the Grooves browser.
