yes: in the USA, more than 5 millions people spell chrome like this…

1st time that Google or I have ever seen that spelling.
Speaking from personal experience,
5 million Americans are frequently wrong about one thing or another every minute of every day.
Those of us with a sense of humor have a lot at which to laugh for a large portion of the day.

Huh. What exactly did your offer entail?
Do you send them examples of your playing?
Pictures of your studio and the kit(s) available for sampling? What microphones, pre’s and board are you using?

Can you compare your work to Toontrack’s Reggae EZX expansion kit and additionally to their Reggae MIDI pack?
Maybe you can sell your MIDI grooves thru this forum and eBay without involving Toontrack.

[Scott Eshleman]

You’re welcome. Thank you for the shout-out.
I do what I can so that the paid Toontrack Support guys can focus on the harder and more technical issues…like your SuperiorDrummer configuration question.

as noted in the other thread where you raised this issue with the EZKeys demo,

Yes, but EZkeys can output MIDI so you don’t have to wait until you drag the MIDI to
your host to hear what it sounds like with your other instrument.

@OloH said:

Yes, it is disabled in the demo.

I have bought EZKeys, 3 of the Sound Libraries and ALL of the EZKeys MIDI packs to date.
I just now have dragged MIDI from the EZKeys timeline into 2 instruments tracks in Logic Pro X;
one track is running the EZKeys Upright Piano while the 2nd instrument track is running a B3 organ from Logic’s instrument library.

I can confirm that with the full version, Logic plays the MIDI accurately and notes do not keep ringing out as you describe.

My guess is that you only need to reinstall EZDrummer2, not your EZX expansions – downloading it only if you don’t still have the installation file on your hard drive.
I suspect that you need to download and apply the updates for your EZX expansions and possibly the the updates for SuperiorDrummer.

The best and ONLY way to use the Andy Sneap EZMix pack is with EZMix.

from the EZplayer Pro product page:
EZplayer Pro is a MIDI organizer, multi track arranger and format conversion tool all rolled into one nifty piece of software that you can plug into any VST,
Audio Unit or RTAS compatible master application.

With it you can convert between mapping formats and collect all your MIDI clips in one convenient location, the EZplayer pro browser.
You can use EZplayer pro to preview those MIDI clips with your favourite drum sampler and drag and drop them directly into your host to construct your tracks.

You can also use the multi track arranger built into EZplayer pro to put drum tracks together, on as few or as many tracks as is convenient or required.

…Used in conjunction with Toontrack solo and EZdrummer or Superior Drummer 2.0,
EZplayer pro also becomes a stand-alone workstation for creating MIDI beats independently from your day-to-day sequencer.

from the EZMix product page:
EZmix 2 is a multi-effect plug-in that lets you assign pro-designed audio processing effect chains to any audio source.
A guitar amp, mixing engineer and mastering suite all in one convenient package.

EZmix Packs (like the Andy Sneap EZMix pack) expand the core content in EZmix 2 with new settings.
The selection is continuously growing and currently includes material by Grammy Award-winning engineers,
packs for mastering, vocals, guitar and bass as well as those for specific genres or common mix issues.

from the Andy Sneap EZMix product page:
This expansion for EZmix 2 was personally designed by British superstar producer Andy Sneap.
It focuses primarily on guitar and bass tones but also includes a selection of settings for lead vocals, background vocals and drums.

The only thing that EZPlayer Pro and EZMix have in common is their creator/publisher. Sorry.

The “Replace Entire Kit” grayed out menu entry is merely meant to be a header to explain what happens when you select any of the kits in the list. In gseshleman’s screenshot in the previous post the selectable kits are Basic, Default, Ayotte Alt, Gretsch and Dunnett Ludwig. Selecting any of them will replace the current kit. The “Empty Kit” loads an empty kit so you can fill each drum position with any drum of choice.

The non selectable “Replace Entire Kit” menu entry is a cause of confusion though, so it will be removed in the upcoming version 2.0.2, soon to be released!

Thanks, Henrik!!
Perhaps the big reddish-orange button at the top of the window could be labeled with a small ‘Current Library/Preset’ above it as well?

[Scott Eshleman]

I believe that the “Replace Entire Kit” dropdown refers only to the full configurations available for the currently loaded drumkit.

pg 11 of the Operation Manual illustrates:

Sorry. re-read your issue and removed my initial response.
I misinterpreted your post. My bad.

Do you have any grooves loaded in the EZD2 timeline that could playing while ‘following the host’?

I used the forum search and found these other similar threads already posted & answered.
