Okay. Thank you!

[René Lamonde]

Well I´m not an expert on this, but have notised that if i not adress the beat/sound in two places like described earlier, i hear other sound…for example cymbals

[René Lamonde]

To get a bongo-groove be played in EZdrummer (and Superior Drummer) I have to address the sound in two places.,

Open groove to choose the EZX Latin Percussion (EZD Libraries),
– after that I go to the top (EZX) of the screen, and choose the EZX Latin Percussion here also .
After that I press play…

Thanks! I got it now!

How I learned to set up EZplayer in Cubase

1. First of all: Install the right update of EZplayer. For 64 bit version in the computer, install the update vesrsion of 64 bit EZplayer (update downloadable at Toontrack webpage at “My Products”, – meaning; your products). Othervise it won´t work. (For 32 bit version in the computer, install the update version: 32 bit of EZplayer).

2. In Cubase: Press F11, to set up EZplayer
3. In Cubase: Press F11, to set up Superior Drummer
4. In Cubase: Set the routings on track named Superior Drummer –
(set input routing to: 1-Ezplayer – Midi Out) & (set output to: 1-Ezplayer – Midi Out).
5. In Cubase: On the track named: Superior drummer: Set the monitor ON
6. Choose a groove in EZplayer, and it play, hurray 🙂

(This goes for Superior Drummer too).

P.S.
Made a little video of this > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7SGDdVyzLg

Thank you!

Okey, so far the EZdrummer, and Superior drummer 2 seems to works fine, even after restarting the computer, and when authorizing is done with the USB stick removed. And then in my understanding only run EZdrummer/S2 with the USB stick is removed. Good to know. Now I can finally use the programs. Thank you!

Hello again!

Okay, I have done following today:

1. Installed the EZdrummer Installer, EXZ Coctail Installer, and Toontrack solo Installer.
2. Restarted the computer (without the USB-stick modem removed), and opened the program (EZdrummer) 7 times, and notice that the computer ID stay the same every time.
In this mood I also noticed the computer ID begins with: a number, following with a letter, following with a number, following with a letter – and so on; a Computer ID with totally 12 characters.
2. Connected the USB-stick modem (without connecting the computer to internet), and opened the program (EZdrummer) 7 times, and notice that the computer ID Change every time.
In this mood I also noticed the computer ID begins with: four letters (AABA), following with a mix of numbers and letters, a Computer ID with totally 13 characters. To compare with 12 characters as described above.

Summary so far after testing 7 times for each procedure:
1. Yes: The Computer ID stay the same each time I restart the computer and the EZdrummer program.
In this mood I also noticed the computer ID begins with: a number, following with a letter, following with a number, following with a letter – and so on; a Computer ID with totally 12 characters.
2. No: The Computer ID do not stay the same each time (7times) I restart the computer and the EZdrummer program.
In this mood I also noticed the computer ID begins with: four letters (AABA), following with a mix of numbers and letters; a Computer ID with totally 12 characters.
To compare with 12 characters as described above.

Should I try to authorize with ID begins with: a number, following with a letter, following with a number, following with a letter – and so on, totally with 12 characters?
or the one with 13 characters, beginning with four letters (AABA) that probably do not work?, because I have tried so many times before!

Have only done this with EZdrummer. Not try that with the Superior drummer yet.

Do not know what to do!

[René Lamonde]

Do not know how to turn it on an off. (More than turn the whole computer on and off).
Have the USB stick removed once, when i by Toontrack Music Support/info been recomended to get a new one!
After recomendation i replaced the USB stick with a new one month ago. Same results:
The EzDrummer and Superiordrummer works fine, until i restart the computer. After that the programs need a new authorization.
It seems to me that the EzDrummer and Superiordrummer do not want to remember that they alredy have been authorized.

Okay, thanks: “I can try to load the programs to my computer again, get the latest updates, autorize, and after that try to remove the USB stick and restart the computer a few times,
to see if the “Computer ID” keep changing, or if it does stay the same when I open EzDrummer and Superiordrummer! Will try with that and get back to you about the results soon as possible! Okay?

*Yes I have been in email contact with Toontrack Support many times, over many months, about the issue.

Scott,
I do not have any network. Only a wireless modem (an usb-stick).
Don´t know what it means if a “modem being cycles on and off between starts”?., my wireless modem seems to works fine, in my understanding.

Yes: I will remeber that the “Computer ID” (the authorization code)is totaly different eatch time. Same computer. Seems to be like the “Computer ID” change everytime I restart my computer.
So I had to get a new autorization code from (Computer ID) from Toontrack webpage every time. Havn´t done that for some time now, because the issue appears everytime. So i do not have the programs in my computer for the moment.

Have done some mail-conversation with Toontrack support/info for maybe a half year now, and the last mail i got from support/info is in my understanding about to wait for update for the programs?
So i patently waiting for the uppdate that hopefully will solve the issue. It would be nice to use the programs, but they only work until i restart my computer.

Everything else, like any other programs works fine on my computer, even after restarting. But not the Toontrackproducts. So i can not use the Toontrackproducts in my understanding normal way, yet, because the issue.

/René

P.S. No I´m not “able to input the same authorization code when the authorization screen pops up”.
I had to do the prosedure to from the top, via new code from Toontrack webpage. etc.

Hello! Think this is the same or similar issue that happens on my computer. I can authorize the programs, an get them work fine, until I restart my computer. When I restart my computer the EzDrummer ask for authorization code again. So the ExDrummer & Superiodrummer work fine, until I restart the computer. When I restart my computer the EzDrummer & Superiordrummer ask for authorization code again. The other day I received an email from the support (to I have mailed about the issue) and got an answer that “[…] update for EZdrummer has not been released yet. We recommend that you subscribe to The Toontrack forum announcements section. This forum informs all subscribers of updates.”

I don´t use the programs because I don´t want to authorizes the programs every time I start up my computer.
Hopefully ther will be a release of an update to EzDrummer and Superiordrummer some day so I can use the programs.
