1) True mono outs and the ability to synch track creation to your daw directly to create mono outs.
2) In depth mIdi editor done the toontrack way. Time to revolution hi-hat midi-editing in a way that only Toontrack can do.
3) More effects that could be used separately as VST’s within a DAW host
4) More tweakability/configuration for e-drum support
5) Ability to configure a gate or snare damping (or similar)
6) Save mixer to lock outputs to maintain consistent routing in your daw channels as you switch from kit to kit

Here you go…note that this is specific to the “original mix” preset in EZD2 Modern.

Ok, finally got this figured out, and wow is this confusing.

For example, if you want to route your kick drum and snare drums to separate mono mixer channels, you have to select output 1 for each kick output in the EZDrummer mixer. Then you also have to pan each kick drum to the left in the EZDrummer mixer. Then you route output 1 from back of the EZDrummer rack in reason to only the mono (L) input channel on a reason mixer.

Then for snare, you still select output 1 in EZDrummer (for both top and bottom for example), pan each in the EZDrummer to the right, and take output 2 from EZDrummer into another mono input on another instance of a reason mixer.

Next the hi-hat, change the EZDrummer output to output #2 and pan left in the EZDrummer mixer.. On the back of the EZDrummer rack, you route output “3” to a mono track. Continue down the line this way to use all channels (assuming you want those as mono or whatever is needed).

The outputs listed on the back of the EZDrummer rack output, do not correspond to the output listed directly in the VST interface. Output 1 really means both output 1 and 2 on the back of the rack, but you must pan each in the EZDrummer mixer. This works (and it’s super confusing to even write this) , but can’t help but think this feels a little broken. .

I’ve attached the following routing, building upon John’s original routing, leveraging one of the original EZDrummer 2 kits (Original Mix), to reflect the use of all channels routed as separate as you can. This will unfortunately change with different library/kits you have to use to some extent. EZDrummer Mixer is all set to unity gain so I can control levels with the SSL mixer (the big reason I use Reason!) at roughly -12db to -15db or so adjusted via the input gain on the SSL mixer.

Hmm…I’m confused by this. Technically there are 16 mono outs from the reason rack (assuming you route them to 16 mono mixer channels). I can only use the first 8 of the channels within the EZDrummer when assigning outputs from the EZDrummer Mixer. Assigning anything higher does not seem to work in Reason 9.5 (regardless of stereo/mono). If I want to use each channel as mono, they must be within the first eight channels. Do I have this right?
