Ok, I am looking at all the offerings and sales and am not sure about some things.
To start with, could someone explain the differences between the MIDI packs and expansion packs?
Hi,
and thank you for your interest in Toontrack products.
EZdrummer EZX expansions are both sounds and MIDI in a bundle (Superior 2 SDX:s are the equivalent for Superior 2). MIDI packs are expansions for your MIDI grooves. Some MIDI packs are derived from EZX / SDX expansions but are clearly labeled so, so you won’t buy something you already got.
BR,
John

Thanks for your reply John, much appreciated.
I guess if I ask the same question that has been basically asked again and again, I should expect the same answer too.
Clarification, and an admission. I guess I should have thought to post in a more appropriate area of the forum.
I am using EZD, and some EXP packs, and I am a big fan. But I have to point out that for us newer and inexperienced users, the description of some of the various components and products leaves a little to be desired.
It is NOT clear what the ezplayer/ezplayer pro )or whatever), solo, and such products are and how they fit together in use, and the same goes for many of the exp pack formats. It takes a lot of research to get a grasp on much of it and at least for me, some of it is a little fuzzy.
I point this out, not as a complaint, but a suggestion for improvement of the presentation and possibly/hopefully for increased sales on your part.
As further evidience I present the fact that the same. or similar questions have come up with regular frequency in various areas of these forums, which I have largely read going back over several years of content while trying to gather all the knowledge I can find.
I understand there are many ways to use the products and the TT team has made great efforts to accommodate as many possible users as they can. Again much appreciated. But there may be room for improvement on some of the product presentation/descriptions for the inexperienced.
Thanks to all, great stuff!
John,
If I understand correctly, EZX comes with additional drum kits AND sounds but the MIDI is sounds only (with no additional drum kits)?
MIDI is just data. In terms of the drum MIDI, it tells the drum sampler when to trigger a specific sample and at what velocity.
So, MIDI contains no sounds, just data.
EZXs come with drum kit samples (sounds) and drum performance MIDI. The MIDI packs are just the MIDI performances with no samples (sounds).

Having a really BAD time loading EZ drummer. Error code 1308, downloaded the software instead of using the disc, along with the patch and can not get to authorization process, because I can’t launch the program. Why is this so friggin hard? What do I do? I have been screwing around for two days and am ready o tell everyone never to buy Toontrack stuff.
Please see this FAQ regarding the error 1308: http://www.toontrack.com/helpdesk/issue_view_portal.asp?ID=1436 In what DAW are you loading EZdrummer in after install? Do you get error 1308 ever time you’ve installed or has the installer completed?
