Hi,

as you guessed, Ableton Live 9 does not support VST3 plug-ins and EZdrummer 3 is too new to have a VST2 version. Updating to a newer version of Live isn’t an option?

There is currently no way to have the EZdrummer 3 Standalone sync to external MTC/MIDI Clock without some external software.

Hi,

I can’t reproduce. If I select the ‘Deeper Beater’ Preset, all instruments sound as expected. Do you still have this problem?

Hi,

did you ‘Run as Admin’ with the Toontrack Product Manager?

Do you have any problems writing to that folder?

Hi,

the V71 has got MIDI Presets for both EZD3 and SD3, so they should work with V51 as well. According to Roland’s info the V51 is very similar to V71, with fewer hardware connections.

Hi,

there are no screenshots attached to your posts but you are going about this the wrong way. There is no other version than the Stereo one simply because no other is needed.
The plug-in must be inserted on a Stereo Instrument Track and once inserted, it has 16 Stereo Outputs (of which 15 can be split into Mono) available although the first pair (1-2) is hardwired to the plug-in. These can easily be split in Pro Tools and you simply hard pan in the SD3 Mixer.
I attach a simple Template for Pro Tools, since it makes it easier to understand. In this Template, you will find 3 examples of Mono mics routed to Mono Instrument Tracks in the PT Mixer. While this Template is set up with Instrument Tracks, the same procedure works with Aux Tracks for the plug-in outputs.

Hi,

1. create an empty block on the Song Track (you can just grab anything/record and delete what’s there), then
2. click the ‘Power’ button for the Pad you wish to activate, then
3. increase the amount of hits. If you wish to just loop this to your Logic song,
4. click the loop button

Hi,

are we talking about the exact same thing as the OP, with Reaper and Standalone?

What have you tried? Did you retrieve crash dumps? Have you opened a Support Ticket?

Hi,

I would say that age (of the software; it’s the oldest in the current line) and size (of the core library) are most likely why Superior Drummer 3 is currently the only Toontrack software that does not have an available demo.

Toontrack always read feedback however, so who knows what can happen in the future?

Hi,

not a user but from what I can read on Roland’s info pages, “The V51 module features the same internal engine as the V71, giving you the identical sounds and expansion path in an efficient hardware design”, which means the V71 MIDI Preset should work pretty much out of the box, so to speak.
If you tweak anything, be sure to save it as your own user preset.

Hi, only 1st gen EZX:s are 16bit, 2nd gen would be 18bit and 3rd gen 20bit, if I’m not mistaken.

Hi,

if you have the MIDI on the same instrument track as EZdrummer 3, you can hit Record on the EZD3 Song Track and then Play the Cubase timeline to record into EZD3.

Hi,

I don’t have Hookpad, so could you please provide some of that MIDI, along with an EZbass Project and a recipe to reproduce what you are experiencing?

Hi Paul,

Toontrack virtual instruments all have fixed Stereo outputs (EZD3/SD3 have 16), since it makes the instruments themselves the most flexible for different expansion libraries.
In the example of SD3 or EZD3, having a fixed set of Mono+Stereo Channels would limit the possible library expansion setups. Making the Mono-Stereo outputs a configurable choice, would demand restarting your host every time such a configuration change happened. It would also limit the way you could switch between libraries and complicate previewing.

A Mono signal is always a Mono signal even if it is panned in the middle of a stereo output, slightly panned to either side or hard panned.
As you have noticed, if you wish to have a Mono mic on a Mono Mixer track in your DAW, you first pick one of the plug-in’s Stereo Outputs and then hard pan to either L or R.
Different DAWs have different ways to split a plug-in’s Stereo output into 2 Mono outputs.
If you set up Mono mics hard-panned from the plug-in to Mono mixer tracks in your DAW but still hear something on other tracks, you most likely have sends or Bleed to other channels in the plug-in.

John

Hello, the library doesn’t appear. I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled the software and it’s still the same. I don’t know what else to do. Only SESSION GRAND appears.

Reply To: EKX Libraries Don’t Show Up version: 2.1.4

Hi,

could you please elaborate? Which library does not appear? Which software is it you have uninstalled and re-installed? The Session Grand is the EZkeys 2 Core library.
