Back at base now. For me I have the EZdrummer 2 Core Library EZX listed greyed out with a May 3rd date, but it also has is listed as all installed, authorized, updated and ready to use. Which is a bit curious really, but I confirm everything works in SD3 and EZD2 as it always did.

So Synth Master, it looks like it's just going to download it again for you, though as said above I expect when they press the magic GO button later a new update will appear there to make it compatible with all the updated EZXs

They've said on the forum update will probably roll out around 14:00 CET (about an hour from now). Emails will go out when they're good to go.

...but ironically Superior Drummer 3.3.0 is out first, and downloaded smoothly here.

SUPERIOR DRUMMER 3.3.0 CHANGELOG

CHANGES

General

VST 3 plug-in format has been added.
Added support for EZdrummer 3 sound libraries.
The EZdrummer 2 Modern and Vintage libraries now appear in the library menu even if EZdrummer 2 is not authorized, and they are possible to authorize using a serial for EZdrummer 2 Core Library EZX.
Using the “online” method to authorize a multi-library EZX or SDX, such as Funkmasters EZX or The Rock Foundry SDX, now authorizes all parts at once instead of just the selected one. For newer libraries of that kind, the same applies to the “offline” authorization method.
Global solo/mute recall now has keyboard shortcuts Shift-S/M instead of Alt-S/M (which did not work in some hosts on Windows).

Percussion

New tambourine, shaker and one shot sounds have been added, the same that come with EZdrummer 3.

Song Track

When following host playback, if similar MIDI is detected coming from the host as is being played on the song track, the song track now stops, Follow Host becomes disabled and a small notification is shown.

Grid Editor

It is now possible to mute individual notes.

Grooves Tab

A new “MIDI” column has been added to give a rough visual overview of what the grooves contain.
In filter columns that contain several separated groups of tags, selecting a tag with a normal click no longer deselects tags in other groups in the column.
Mixer Tab

“Black Box” has been renamed to “Multi-FX” – they are most common in EZX presets and contain one or more hidden effects.

E-Drums

Many e-drum presets have been revised for improved consistency and/or accuracy.
New e-drum presets: 2box Speedlight Kit, ATV EXS Series, Medeli DD522, Millenium MPS-450, Millenium MPS-850, Millenium MPS-1000, Pearl e/MERGE.

BUG FIXES
Song Track

Dragging a fill into a smaller gap on the track now truncates the beginning of the fill, as intended, instead of the end.
If a tempo track had been imported from a MIDI file and two tempo nodes were located very close to each other, it could cause the playhead to jump away very far.

E-Drums

Hi-hat calibration could be lost when a different library was loaded.
More

Many bugs not listed here have been fixed.

...and EZ Drummer 2 Core Library 1.2.1 updates for the sound library and midi are up now too. Tiny file sizes. Note - no update as yet for the plugin itself, presumably that's on its way too.

...and there it is, a little earlier than billed. EZ Drummer 3 and its library downloading now.

Downloads are now available. It's nice starting them now before their servers get slammed.

Does ezdrummer 3 replace 2? Will projects with ezdrummer 2 in them automatically open with 3?

zvenx · Post by **zvenx** » Tue May 03, 2022 11:51 am

No.. separate product, separate plugins etc.

Way-hay we're off - installing

be nice if they simplified the installer, I find the AD drums installer form XLN similar but simpler somehow

Well, good and bad is my first impression. Love the main new kit sounds and the new features. But I'm getting an error on the Bright Room, telling me to update, even though a) it's fully updated, and b) it loads just fine in SD3.

Teething problems no doubt. But the first major GRRR - instead of making Tap2Find better, they've crippled it. The No Quantize option has been removed. So never mind not being able to set swing or time sigs, you now can't even PLAY a swing.

GRRR.

Wow. I mean this is an app who's function is rhythm, how can they drop the ball so bad? So there's definitely no time sig option either?

Need to find 15 GB of space. What to delete? Hmmmmmmmmmm ...

Hmmn where is it actually installing the VST to ? There's no option to choose and it hasn't appeared in my DAW so I need to know the path (why don't they include this in the Download manager?

Nope. But at least you can fix that with the global time sig - it's not ideal if you're mixing sigs of course, but there's a way to do it. Unlike swing - no way to do that now.

EZ Drummer 3 announced.
