Problem with EZ Drummer 2 Playlist in Fl Studio

[strychnine_1]

First of all, I recently bought EZ Drummer 2 and I think it is an incredible tool! For my guitar and bass recordings I use FL Studio (10 & 12) and Guitar Rig and I thought EZ Drummer 2 would be a great addition to my set up. However, if I open EZ Drummer 2 as a vsti in FL Studio and I drag a preexisting or newly created loop into the EZ Drummer playlist the beat is all messed up; not the sound but the rhytm and signature… it just sounds odd… When I listen to the loop in the browser by clicking on the play icon (not the one on the playlist) the loop sounds fine. Also when I make a pattern with EZ Drummer loops and I play in the FL Studio playlist, it works… Currently I use FL Studio and EZ Drummer separatly and it works, but it considerably slows down the work flow, since I have to make the playlists in the standalone version of EZ Drummer and then reopen the project in the EZ Drummer vsti in FL Studio. Has anybody been experiencing similar problems???

I use Windows 7 (64bit)
FL Studio 10 or 12 (64bit)
EZ Drummer 2 (64bit)
Interface: M-Audio Fast Track Pro

I have this same problem. When I use the song organizer in EZD2 and play it back in EZD2, it’s like notes go missing. It sounds like my virtual drummer is drunk or something lol. And same thing again, when I drag the midi data into the Fruity Loops Piano roll, everything sounds great! I’m glad I’m not the only one having this issue. I just finished grabbing all the updates for everything too.

Hi guys,

how is your Hardware Buffer size and sample rate set?
Which version number is displayed in the plugin interface?

In the ASIO Dash I have it set at the default 512 samples at 44100. I wasn’t running any audio out of my audio interface.
I have version 2.1.1 (64bit)

And what’s your settings in FL?
I’m not sure I understand, if you didn’t run any audio through any interface, how can you experience glitches?

I have version 2.0.2 (64bit), somehow I had some issues after updating, it always crashed so I didnt repeat the update. I use 256 samples at 44100Hz. But since BadCat9 experiences the same problem as i do, the problem doesnt originate from thze interface nor from the version of EZ Drummer. it must be a compatibility problem or something within Fl Studio that interferes EZ Drummer, I guess.

Running EZdrummer 2.1.1 in FL Studio 11 in Win7 64-bit, I can’t provoke the issue. It works as expected.

The stand alone works flawless. Perhaps you could tell us the setting you are running at so we can see if that fixes our issue. Maybe?

[John]

These are my settings

If I use ASIO4ALL, I get what you’re describing, so maybe it’s simply a problem with ASIO4ALL and FL Studio?

That’s really weird. So if all of us are having that issue with ASIO4ALL, Why do you think it would do that?

[John]

I checked and on my system I have a problem with using ASIO4ALL period, so not only when using it in FL Studio.

I have the same problem. However it only occurs at certain tempos. 98 or 102 BPM – no problem. But when playing projects in 100 BPM the EZ drummer player seems to mess things up. If I export the MIDI loops and import the MIDI dat into the playlist and have EZ drummer play the MIDI that way around it works fine. But its a very annoying bug in the internal EZD2 player!

Have anyone figured out a solution to this?
