Great. EZD3 will recognize the EZD2 kits even without needing to buy the eventual EZD2 Core Library expansion packs and despite being a separate install.

Perfect.

 

Hi Mark,

The EZdrummer 2 core library EZX is required to be able to load EZdrummer 2 presets/instruments in EZdrummer 3.

EZdrummer 3 will not, by itself, include any sounds or presets from EZdrummer 2.

Petter,

Thanks.

All EZXs will also work in EZdrummer 3.”

Is that correct? Will the core EZD2 libraries eventually be released as an EZX?

Hi, Thanks for your questions.

When you say the Metal Kit, are you referring to one of the kits in the EZdrummer 2 core library or a metal expansion pack (EZX)?

The two sound libraries from The EZD2 core library will be available as expansion packs to be used in EZdrummer 3

All EZXs will also work in EZdrummer 3.

 

And just like you can replace instruments in EZdrummer 2 and choose between elements from different EZXs, you can replace a kick or snare in an EZdrummer 3 kit with one from an EZX or the EZdrummer 2 core library

 

If you purchase EZdrummer 2 now, you will get a free Upgrade to EZdrummer 3 once it’s released. EZdrummer 3 will not overwrite EZdrummer 2.

Find info on this and more at the Q&A section of the announcement page. https://www.toontrack.com/product/ezdrummer-3/

Hello Viktor. Thanks, this is very helpful information.

Yes, the Metal Kit is in one of the EZD2 core libraries. It is in the MODERN library, it is simply named METAL.

You wrote that my friend could replace a kick or snare in an EZdrummer 3 kit with one from the EZdrummer 2 core library. Great. Will the opposite be true? Would he be able to open the EZD2 Metal kit inside EZD2 and grab a drum or cymbal from the EZD3 library?

I ask because he could save some money buying EZD2 now as opposed to buying EZD3 later and having to buy the EZD2 core library expansion packs later. He could just keep using EZD2 for the METAL kit.
