Suggestion – The way midi grooves are imported from EZD 2 into a DAW

[John Masarone]

Currently, when midi grooves are arranged in EZ Drummer 2’s song creator section then dragged into a DAW, the midi grooves appear as one long midi groove. To avoid this, I drag one groove or a section of grooves at a time into the DAW which, in itself, is a drag. I’m always making changes as the song progresses. It would great if the midi grooves stay as individual grooves when dragged from EZD 2’s song creator section.

My DAW is Sonar Platinum

Same situation here. I was going to post about this until I came upon this already posted. Can someone explain why the long lines are present instead of the individual notes? I’m using Reaper 5.1

The problem is that the DAW:s can’t receive multiple MIDI files and recognise them individually. They will be merged into one file and unfortunately we can’t do anything about that. We can only hope that they’ll add support for this in the future.

Why not leave the grooves in the EZDrummer2 Song Creator Timeline
and have it play along with your DAW in “Follow Host” mode?

Unless I need the piano roll in Pro Tools to edit the MIDI in some way that EZDrummer2 can’t,
I don’t have any reason to drag grooves into the DAW while still editing/rewriting the grooves.
just sayin’
