and as noted in another thread, some MIDI grooves really, really shine when played on the drumkit library on which they were performed/created.
The Pop! EZX being another one of those, like the Latin EZX and Jazz EZX, where hits on specific kit pieces in the course of the groove are what makes the groove unique.

And I agree, if I’m buying a MIDI pack for its unique groove stylings, I’ll spend a few dollars more and get a whole library of drum kits and samples.

Instead of the dropdown Menu, trying clicking on the big, orange-ish button shown below in this illustration
from pg 11 of the Operation Manual (found on the dropdown Menu):

To find Kit Presets, you click one of the drums’ drop-down arrows to reveal the Drum tab. There’s a ‘Kit’ drop-down there as well where you can select one of the Kit Presets.

THANKS!!! I never stumbled on this. I don’t think that it’s even touched upon in the Operation Manual.

Some of the grooves really, really shine when played on the kit libraries on which they were originally performed/created,
the Latin and Jazz EZX expansions probably being the most shining examples.

I have used ‘right-click’ options on ALL of my Apple products, my Macbook Pro and my Mac Pro with a TrackPad and/or MagicMouse, my iPad, etc.
Granted, I come from a very extensive Windows-based history prior to using Apple products.

Anyhow, first check your TrackPad System Preferences to enable the “Secondary Click” option, if not already enabled.

I think the lack of kybd shortcuts or lack of kybd control is a commonality among plug-ins in general.
As having only just released EZDrummer2 as a standalone application, I can understand Toontracks’s dilemma; users would use kybd shortcuts in the standalone and subsequently get confused (read: frustrated) when those same shortcuts don’t work in the plug-in or do something surprising in their host application.

…and this has been discussed previously in the following threads:

NOTE: It seems John & I responded to your post at the same time.
Let me be clear: his response supersedes anything I say, as he is an actual Technical Advisor.
Hopefully, I haven’t contradicted anything he has said.

ORIGINAL: Jym Feat

yet does A_S4_V_v05 tell us more than that?

Yes.
It tells us it is the ‘Ballad’, Straight 4/4, ‘Push 76 BPM’ song, Verse, Variation 05, default velocity (0).

For, say, Americana Midtempo, Straight 4/4, Amtrak Dbl Time 97 BPM, Verse, Variation 05, it would look like this:

A_S4b_Vc_V05

Great!!! So there IS a translation table!!!
You were able to reveal an amazing amount of detail from that small groove label.
Can y’all please make it/them available? Perhaps, if only as an update to each library and MIDI pack?
Thanks.

To Clarify:
Step 3. in Logic’s MIXER window, a ‘+/-‘ will now be available just below the EZDrummer channel fader for you to add as many AUX channels as needed for your EZDrummer output routing.

PS. I’m not sure to what you’re referencing as “an updated Multi channel Template for LPX” but once you’ve set up the routing and whatever other tracks, etc, you can save your own personalized “Multi channel Template for LPX”…maybe even a few of them, one for each drumkit and routing layout you create.

[Scott Eshleman]

I just did this for the first time myself a few nights ago…
It’s really as easy as the video that you’ve referenced above; even though the interfaces for Logic & EZDrummer have changed a litttle.

Step 1. in Logic, create an Instrument Track, using EZDrummer Multi-Output (16xStereo) as your instrument plug-in

Step 2. in EZDrummer, on the MIXER tab, select Multichannel from the Channel dropdown list just above the Kit-Piece name of the channelstrip. You’ll see the output routing change from channels 1&2 to a default multi-output routing courtesy of Toontrack or you can create a routing of your own choosing.

Step 3. in Logic’s MIXER window, a ‘+/-‘ will now be available for you to add as many AUX channels as needed for your EZDrummer output routing.

Step 4. typically, Logic will automatically add the EZDrummer routing to the Input of each of these new AUX channels, but you may want or need to make your own selections or even route some EZDrummer outputs to more than one AUX channel in Logic

The ‘ezdp’ Project file you’ve created and saved from EZDrummer is used and loaded back into REAPER from within the EZDrummer instrument Insert from within your Reaper session, not in the ‘Open Project’ function of the Reaper File menu.
As you probably know, Reaper projects have a file extension of ‘rpp’.

PS. what is MAO software?

[Scott Eshleman]

There’ve been multiple forum threads asking (and answering) this question.
Also, at least one FAQ regarding the percussion. https://www.toontrack.com/faq/how-do-i-trigger-the-ezdrummer-2-percussion/

In Logic Pro X (or any other DAW host), the Piano Roll Editor, the Score Editor or the Musical Typing window would reveal the following:
Db-2 is the “One Shots” (handclaps, etc)
D-2 is the Shaker(s)
Eb-2 is the Tamborine

I believe that you’ll find the easiest (and likely, only) way to review your registered Serial Numbers and your confirmed Authorization Codes is to log into your Toontrack account and click on the “My Products” option.

Further clicking on “Show All _____ Products” will reveal the entire line of products for that category, displaying those that you’ve registered in full color. Those products that you have not purchased or for which you have not registered a Serial Number will appear slightly blurred out.

If you have Serial Numbers that you suspect that you received but may not have have registered with your Toontrack account, log into your Toontrack account and click “Register a Product”. Enter the suspect Serial Number and attempt to register it.

Worst-case scenario is that you encounter a “Serial Number already registered” response. Best case, you have another great Toontrack product with which to play.

I can’t speak to the demo as I upgraded from EZDrummer1 to EZDrummer2 as soon as it was available on May 6th,
but, that said, it looks like the EZDrummer2-included library, Modern/Vintage kit comes with almost 1,000 grooves:
720 grooves for the kit and 254 grooves for the percussion (handclaps, tamborine, shaker).
