Ezdrummer Standalone Programs
Click to expand. Your process is similar to mine. I own EZ drummer but currently still use prerecorded sample loop sections which i cut and paste assemble in SONY ACID and then move over to my digital recorder-box for guitar and vocal tracks.
Oct 13, 2016 Hi, I've been having problems with the MIDI input devices in some Standalone programs as you can see on the links below. The odd thing is that this happens in some. EZdrummer Operation Manual.pdf. 3.5 Authorizing EZdrummer 2 offline 9 3.6. Without ever leaving the program. Have EZdrummer build the arrangement for.
EZ drummer is like a collection of individual drum sample-hits along with a collection of midi 'performances' to 'play' or trigger the samples which you can then loop and piece together.You will need some other host (not the right word for it, i think) program to run it, like a cakewalk, logic or ACID. It comes up within these programs as a 'plug in' or 'synth'. I think the sounds are great, but I haven't gotten comfortable with the program yet so I still rely on my drum sample discs. Click to expand. Have you configured your audio output? If you have, skip this and go to #2.
If you haven't follow this: One of the first things you'll want to do with REAPER is configure it to work with your sound card(s). Open the Preferences window (Ctrl-P), and move to the Audio >Device section. Select the type of sound card you're using in the Audio System drop-down box. Most basic cards use WDM. More advanced cards often use ASIO. Read your sound card manual for specifics. A good ASIO driver that will work almost all basic systems and soundcards is the ASIO4ALL driver.
It is downloadable free at Once you've selected the type of card you're using, move to the Input Device drop-down box and select the card itself. Be sure to select the Sample Format (bit depth) you want to use as well as the number of Input/Output channels your card supports and the Sample Rate you prefer.
Basic cards are limited to 16-bit. More advanced cards often support 16- and 24-bit. If you have done that then you might need to arm the track.
Look for the 'R' on the far left of the track. Click on it to turn it on the track. (you'll have to do this when you record guitar, bass, and other inputs as well. Reaper User manual.

BTW - What audio driver are you using, and what OS and kind of computer are you using? Did you download and install the free ASIO drivers I linked to above?
If you haven't download and install them. You might need to configure Windows for MIDI if you've never used it before.
Don't worry, it's easy. In Win XP you do this: Start ->Settings->Control Panel->Sounds and Audio Devices. Click on the 'Sounds' tab. You'll see a drop down menu under 'Midi Music Playback'.
If there's nothing there, select something from the drop down menu. Then make sure that MIDI driver is selected in the Reaper 'Preferences' menu under 'Audio'. (Options->Preferences->Manuale Per Patente Nautica Download Skype. Audio) (if you have ASIO installed you get to skip this step.) So here's how my audio preferences look on my main PC. I'm using ASIO to send and receive audio with my DigiOO2 so that's why it looks like it does. One other thing, search through the Reaper guide I linked to. It's something really simple, but you have to make sure that Windows and Reaper are talking to each other or nothing will work. I purchased Toontrack's Superior Drummer 2.0 last week from Sweetwater.
It got here on Friday. Had a time getting everything loaded...But it sounds incredible.
Also, it comes with 'EZPlayer Pro', which is a standalone 'sequencer' for the drums only. I've just started getting into it, and there isn't a whole lot from the online manual (they don't include one in with the CD's)...But, I went to, and checked out the EZPlayer Pro tutorials, and learned a whole lot. Seems, with the EZPlayer Pro, you're not stuck with the drums tracks as they were played. What I mean is this...you can take a kick line from one pattern or variation, and the hi-hat from another, and the cymbals from another and the snare from another and 'build' your own tracks or variations. And, since it's a sequencer, you're not stuck with 'looping' the same repeating drum line over and over again. You can build parts until you've got a whole song.

Hi, I've been having problems with the MIDI input devices in some Standalone programs as you can see on the links below. The odd thing is that this happens in some Satandalones as Kontakt 5, EZdrummer, Addictive Drums, but on the other hand, Addictive Keys does not have that problem. When I run some DAW, it is possible to see the MIDI input devices and they work. I have also tried without connecting the sound card (to rule out that the problem was the card), but anyway it does not recognize the Midi input AKAI MPK mini which is appart from the Sound Card MIDI device.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, but without any success. I tried some recommended procedures in another forum, but none of them solved my problem. After everything I've tried, I don't know if this has anything to do with some conflict in the operating system. Also, I leave the link to the forum where all procedures shows I've done so far. Hi Cesar, You can run Hardware Troubleshooter, for possible resolution. The Hardware Troubleshooter is an automated tool which will check the hardware connected to the computer for any known issues with it, and provides the details and on how to fix them.
To run Hardware Troubleshooter, see the steps below: • Press Windows key to get the Start menu. • Type troubleshooting in the search box right up corner, and hit Enter. • Click on Troubleshooting tab. • Click on View All option on the upper left corner. • Select the Hardware and Device option from the list. • Click Next to run the Hardware and Device Troubleshooter. Let us know how it goes.
