Interested; But…

[sherwinshafi]

Hello,
Pardon my ignorance.
I am very interested in buying a copy of Ez Drummer. However have the following queries.
1. Is it compatible with Windows 7 64 bit
2. Is it compatible with Roland SDP30
3. Do I need any other software (is a host program mandatory). If so, are there any free (64 bit) hoists that are compatible with Ex Drummer
Many Thanks.

1. Yes. The latest version of EZdrummer is W7 64-bit as well as 64-bit host compatible.
2. If a Roland SDP30 is some type of e-drum, then yes, but it is limited (EZdrummer can’t assign sounds to pads, for example). Superior Drummer 2 is fully e-drum compatible.
3. Yes, you need a host to run. Toontrack has a free host, Solo, that supports EZdrummer and S2. If you want to record your playing, you’d need some type of DAW (Cubase, Reaper, Pro Tools, etc.) Check the http://www.toontrack.com/product/ezdrummer-2/ for a host Compatibility list.

Thank you for your quick response.

>>If a Roland SDP30 is some type of e-drum
Roland Octapad SPD30 (http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=1059&ParentId=61)

>EZdrummer can’t assign sounds to pads, for example
Does this mean I will not be able to strike a pad on the E-drum and generate a sound through ExDrummer ?

Note: SPD30 has a MIDI interface

Many Thanks.

Well, yes, you should be able to generate a sound through EZdrummer but you may not be able to assign a certain sound to a specific pad. The Roland SDP30 may be able to assign different cc notes on the pad level but I’m just pointing out that you can’t assign cc notes to specific sounds in EZdrummer. You may want to or not.
