How is it not working – can’t you get any MIDI signals into EZdrummer 2? When you hit the drums, does the MIDI in light up on the bottom right corner?

In the main menu (top right corner of EZdrummer 2), select E-drum/Manufacturer/Roland and see if that solves your problem.

Do you experience the same delay when you hit a drum in the Drums tab? The problem is latency and it’s often caused by bad sound drivers or having the buffer size set too big (although the drivers are less common to be the cause on Macs). Have you checked your sound card settings in Reaper to ensure that you are using the right sound card drivers and having a small enough buffer to have the latency to stay low?

Another frequent cause of latency is other plugins in your plugin chain. Try to remove all other plugins to eliminate them as the cause of the delay. When I, for example, use iZotope’s mastering plugins they add a delay to my sound. To solve it I master my tracks on a separate project with everything bounced to a stereo wave file.

If your host support MIDI to be dragged out, you can simply drag the MIDI from the host to EZdrummer 2’s timeline again. If not, you can export the MIDI and then drag it from your hard drive into EZdrummer 2.

Further, you can record enable EZdrummer 2. If you have Follow Host enabled in EZdrummer and press play in your host, the drum MIDI should be recorded into EZdrummers time line.
