Even half a year is too long. C’mon guys — your customers are asking for an improvement.
Anybody paying attention over there in ToonTrack Town?  

Yes. There is no doubt that they are paying attention.
They have already acknowledged this matter in numerous other threads.
It’s unlikely to be a simple fix, programming-wise.
As I understand it, interface standards for plugins did not or could not include many of the regular features of other software,
like variable window sizing, etc. While I don’t write code for plugins,
I can reasonably surmise that this issue may require a complete rewrite of the plugin.

Opinions may vary, and in my opinion only,
Toontrack shouldn’t officially announce future releases or updates until tested and ready for delivery.
Learning from the experience of companies like Slate or Metric Halo,
who had announced & have continually delayed at least one highly-anticipated product (Slate’s FG-Stress, MH’s 3D hardware card)
customers are no more forgiving on either side of a product fix or development until it’s actually been released.

Oh, so you can’t use the two programs in standalone together correct? Meaning no DAW being used at all. Thanks!  

I’ve never tried and know of no easy way to route EZD2 output into EZMix2 without additional software.

@olliepudge said:
Hi. I was told there is no standalone version of EZ Mix 2. Is this not the case and if so can it be used with EZ Drummer 2? Thanks!  

1) You’ve been misinformed. There is a standalone version of EZMix2.

2) You can use EZMix2 as an Insert after EZDrummer2, inside a DAW, (like Pro Tools or Logic Pro).

No. If it contained the same MIDI grooves as is included with the EZX expansion library,
it would state it on the product description page as it does with the following:
MetalHeads MIDI pack, Roots MIDI pack, Indie Folk MIDI pack, & Metal Foundry MIDI pack.

1. Is it true, I can take patterns from ez drummer 2,
upload it into pro tools 12,
edit it as a midi and add/delete any/all and move drums for a custom pattern using the piano roll?  

Yes, absolutely.

[Scott Eshleman]

my EZDrummer2 standalone app is listed in my [Applications] folder in a folder titled, Toontrack.

[Scott Eshleman]

The audio demonstrates how the MIDI groove will sound when played by the aforementioned EZX expansion sound library.
Any MIDI expansion packs that were also included in an EZX expansion sound library are clearly marked as such to avoid duplication.

edit: John beat me to the punch.

Just guessing, but it appears that you are using the original, out-dated, obsolete installers.

Please log into the Toontrack Product Manager.
(Please download & install the Toontrack Product Manager, if you have not already done so.)
Once logged into the Toontrack Product manager, please download & install the most recent installers & updates for your products.

[Scott Eshleman]

where are you looking?
“Shuffled Backbeats” is a MIDI expansion pack and as such will be found on the the [Browser] and [Search] tabs.

I guess they could not figure out how to do it.
What a shame- I will just have to keep using EZdrummer 1.  

I’m afraid that you’ve been misinformed or are basing this post upon outdated information
as shown in the attached screenshot of the EZD2 Tempo options.
The screenshot also shows how when dragged to the Song Track (or DAW),
the selected Tempo option is applied to the groove.
Notice how Tempo options have shortened or lengthened the original 8-bar groove into 4 bars (2X Tempo) and 16 bars (1/2 Tempo)
in the Song Track.

Also attached is a screenshot from page 14 of the EZD2 Operation Manual,
describing the functions of the Tempo options. Enjoy.

[Scott Eshleman]

are you trying to instantiate it on an Instrument Track?
are you looking under “Audio Units” of the Instrument Track’s “I/O” – and not as an Effect Insert?

can you provide a screenshot?

Hi,
this is simply not true. Tell your friend to read up on how to use X-drums in Superior 2.
It doesn’t work the same as in EZdrummer 2 but gives you far more flexibility over the drums,
bleeds and microphones.
BR,
John
