I am having issues with Samplitude prox 5 suites and EZ drummer2, I don’t know whether or not that is the same with Superior drummer, but the midi functionality of Samp is negatively affected

when trying to use the click track to start a VIP project recording, it does not work correctly. I am trying to get ahold of Toontrack, found this message, so I thought I would put it up-

My mesage to Toontrack:

Hello, I discovered that Samp does not like my drum program, EZ drummer2 by Toontracks. It is up to date. If I engage EZ Drummer 2, then start Samplitude with the click, for whatever reason the 4/4 click will not work properly.., although ¾ and all others do count properly prior to starting recording. It also has sound issues with EZ drummer’s playing that it did not have before the upgrade from 4 to 5. It has distorted output on playback. I have a way around the timing problem, I could just not use a click to start recording in 4/4, with EZ drummer set to come in on say 4 clicks, as it does not give me 4 clicks and start on one now. I have to disable the click, and program a click in EZ drummer, not convenient because I have to delete it when the recording is finished unless I want a click at the beginning of every song

Update: I found that the keyboard will work with EZD2 if you arm the track the VST is on for recording and make it multitimbral, ie.. it will record audio from EZD2. I had tried arming it for recording, but not making it so that the EZD2 output would be recorded as audio. I may have inadvertently found that this works only because there are other settings involved when this is activated. Sorry for the misinformation, but perhaps someone else will find something in this that helps.

I am having the same trouble using EZdrummer2 in my DAW program which is Samplitude Pro Suite. I can configure my keyboard in Samplitude to play the virtual synth in Samplitude, it will control instruments through Samplitude with Reason rewired in. It will control EZdrummer stand alone, but will not allow me to configure or use the keyboard with EZdrummer 2 used as a VST plug in. I have checked and found that I can open Samplitude, then open EZdrummer2 and it works standalone with samplitude open. My guess is this is normal behavior for EZdrummer. I wish Toontrack would address this, as it is annoying having to open ezdrummer stand alone to make changes to a midi file.
