EZ Drummer – 5/8 time signatures ??

[keithroche]

I had the EZ Drummer Lite that came with my Presonus FireStudio. It had 5/8 loops in it.
However, I upgraded to the Full EZDrummer today, and I don’t find 5/8 in it. Neither do I find any 7/8s.
Am I missing something ? I really need the 5/8 and 7/8 loops.

Please enlighten me.

the MIDI included with the Lite version is from various other Toontrack products, namely, if I recall correctly EZplayer pro, the DFH EZH, and the Vintage Rock EZX. I will check for you if that is of interest but there is a wealth of MIDI pack at this stage and it might be better for you to specify what genre you are aiming to produce as it might be easier to advise.

that is correct, the 5/8 grooves you are referring to can be found in the Vintage Rock EZX, but as stated it is likely there are MIDI packs available that may be a better fit for your purpose.

Thank you for the quick response. 🙂 I’m looking for basic 5/8 and 7/8 loops. 7/8s similar to those in Yanni’s songs.

Did you check out the “odd meters” MIDI pack? We got all kinds of timesignatures in there, check it out on the website (a few demos there as well)

Ok. I ‘m well with the grooves. Now this if off topic, but I can’t see EZ Drummer on Cubase 6 64bit. It showed in the 32 bit. I believe I updated to 1.3.1 immediately after installation. Should I do it again ?

I’m on a Mac running Cubase 6 with the latest updates.

Never mind. I found the solution.
And just in case anyone else comes over the same obstacle, heres what to do ;

1. Open ” Plug In Information ” under ‘Devices’ menu in Cubase.
2. Click ” Update ” under the ‘VST Plug Ins’ tab.

Hey guys,
are you playing tricks on your customers? I was searching for 5/8 stuff….I bought the Monster Midi Pack 4: no 5/8 stuff…I read the descriptions. OK, it was my mistake. There was clearly written that there is nothing in 5/8. But, juhu, in the Monster Midi Pack 2 IT IS WRITTEN: TIME SIGNATURES COVERED ARE: 5/8…..so I bought it…I opened EZ drummer. NOT A SINGLE FILL or groove in 5/8 !!!!
Are you joking? I spent 50euros for nothing. You can’t write that 5/8 is covered and it is not. What now? Do u give me my money back? I’m very disappointed and angry.
