Not much info though. I have Superior Drummer, and hope they've made improvements and that any upgrade isn't expensive. "On the fly percussion" interests me a lot.

I'm sure SD3 is right around the corner...

I used and enjoyed the first version, but the inability to save presets on the version I used would drive anyone dotty. However adding "percussion" (I'm hoping gueros, shakers, tamborines, tamborines mounted to hi hats?) would step it up a level again. Having all your percussion in one program certainly would streamline things.
And for whatever reason that final flam around 1:20 reminded me of the theme tune to That 70's Show..

Is this program similar to Battery where you have to give each drum sample it's own MIDI channel?

Yeah but surely then you're running two instances of EZ and 2nd might just be for a tambourine or a shaker or a (god forbid) guero?? |

Wow...this is actually pretty impressive from a songwriter's stance.

This will be great for songwriting. Looking forward to this.
I saw Chris Whitten posted on the purple site that he knows SD3 is not in the near future.

Can you bounce out audio from EZ Drummer 2?

You mean like route multiple channels? yes...I always route parts to Audio channels and then render it to audio so I can effect it like I would a normal drumset. The thing that has me excited it the "tap to find" feature. You can tap out a rudimentary kick and snare part and it will search through all the midi files and find all relevant midi patterns. I'm not a drummer, so I always seem to have trouble with what a real drummer would do with cymbals and hats. This would be SUCH a time saver to me. At the end of the video it shows how you can find the groove you want, but if you like the hats from a particular one, you can paste those over...Basically, you find the groove you want and then you can adjust it, make it more complicated, change where the right hand is playing...all sorts of stuff.

John
you probably have no interest in switching DAWs but LOGIC PRO X's new DRUMMER, is quite amazing at doing what you are chasing. In a very simple way. Have a look at some videos about it.
cheers

Yep. I've got Logic X...but I haven't used it that much because it's in Logic  . |

I use it as a click track mostly, its brilliant for that, the ability to easily push and pull timing for starting a session is great ... so if you are starting a song on acoustic guitar, you can lay down against a timing reference that swings or pushes and pulls, but is in time..and is quickly and easily adjustable to fit your playing, rather than
the other way around.. its wonderful for that
cheers

It would be great if they could do these upgrades to the Superior line.

I use SSD and really like the sound of the drum samples but struggle with the perfect click track as I write on acoustic and then record to click. thx ! |

Sure.... 8) Pick a Tempo you think you will like. Instantiate Drummer, and pick a basic, basic groove. I just usually have Hi Hat Snare and Kick. Simple as can be. Then I adjust the push and pull and swing controls, within drummer .... until it fits with how I am playing the core rhythm of the tune. Almost always for me, its on acoustic guitar. I tweak the drummer to match me, not the other way around. Its brilliant, and fast. Drummer also has the ability to generate its kick pattern, by following any other track in the project. So you could get it to follow a bass part you have played for instance. Might go something like this. Set tempo to 120bpm Find pattern, push, swing to suit what I am doing on acoustic. Lay down acoustic guitar. Play bass line that has the feel i want, now set drummer to "Follow" the bass track, kick now works off bass line, I could edit the bass line to make the kick drum do exactly what I want, mute that track then recut the bass. spice season and stir 8) cheers Wiz |

Thx Wiz: that sounds very interesting.
Is drummer only available within LogX, not a stand alone app/player ?

I love AD - a bit OT.
I only use the raw samples played back and multi-tracked out to audio. I then mix it like a real kit
I'm looking forward to their new version.
