This is just a suggestion from another user, so please excuse if this sounds obvious , but
have you logged into your Toontrack account and looked for an update specifically for your DFH ???

Thanks for the reply.
I remeber now from last time! The only other issue is that the only file I can use is Win installer. When I right click, it does not give me the option to extract??
Ok. Think I D/L 32 bit not 64. How can I change that? The update only give me 1 option??

if Windows does not give you an ‘extract’ option by default,
perhaps you can extract with another tool, like WinZip or 7zip…they may have a free trial version available.
what version of Windows are you using?

Hi there. I re-installed my old version of EZD1. Then deleted it and tried to install newer version from website. Now when I try to install the D/L version, I get ‘error 1309’. When I retry, nothing happens. Can only cancel install.
Please Help!

from https://www.toontrack.com/faq/im-getting-error-1308-1309-when-installing-on-pc/

“If you receive an error message containing ‘Error 1309′,
this is because you are attempting to run the installer without extracting the downloaded zip archive.
Please right click the downloaded zip file and choose ‘Extract all’.
We strongly recommend using Windows’ built in extraction tool for this.
Please remember to check for updates once you have run the main installer.”

That’s all. Wasn’t meant to infer any connection to the issue overall.

Unknowingly you precisely identified the cause of the issue overall. See the posts between me and the Toontrack techs. Thanks for telling us all where to look!

haha… I assure you that I what I did, I did quite knowingly and in direct response to all of the posts in this thread.
Not all of my posts were intended for you. Sorry if I confused you.

Regarding “Edit Play Style”…you may find it a nice addition to your workflow.
Please check out pg 18-20 of the EZDrummer2 Operation manual for an overview of its new
features for customizing MIDI grooves in the “ground breaking Edit play style window” before taking them into Reaper.

Also, I see from your screenshot you’re working on midi within the EZD2 track editor. I am not, I’m working on midi in Reaper. I don’t know why that should make a difference, but I’ll check.

I was testing Tool Tips for the knobs in “Edit Play Style” mode
when I made the screenshot showing the E-Knob setting on the dropdown menu.

AFAIK, “Edit Play Style” mode is only accessible when using MIDI in the track editor.

Works for me (with caveats). I’m using Mac OSX 10.8.5.

While the “E-Knob” setting was in ‘Linear Mode’,
I got parameter setting pop-ups only when in the “Edit Play Style” function (by clicking on the knob).
I got no response from the knobs on the instrument dropdowns on the Drum tab until I moved it to a new setting.

While the “E-Knob” setting was in ‘Relative Circular Mode’,
I got parameter setting pop-ups when in both the “Edit Play Style” function
and from the knobs on the instrument dropdowns on the Drum tab by clicking on the knob.

I found (regular) ‘Circular Mode’ unusable with a mouse.

You don’t say what DAW you’re using,
but I tested a multi-track MIDI file that I have by dragging it into Pro Tools 11,
Logic Pro X, EZKeys and EZDrummer2.

EZKeys, like Pro Tools and Logic, recognized each of the separate instruments within the file.
Pro Tools and Logic imported each of the separate instruments onto its own instrument track, if enough were available.
EZKeys prompted me to select which of the separate instruments to import into the EZKeys timeline. (shown below)
EZDrummer2 neither recognized separate instruments nor prompted for import of a specific instrument.
It imported the entire multi-track file. What a mess of drum-only cacophony!!
It seems you’d have to find a way split out the drums from your MIDI file for EZDrummer2 – like importing it into Pro Tools & Logic.
Hope this helps.
