![]() ![]() Some presets have 5 knobs for the different effects, some don't have any. BUT, you also can't add those effects yourself to the "raw" kit.īasically, some preset might have a few knobs for tape drive and compression but another preset doesn't have those. When I load a preset in SD3 I can edit the effects but the presets in EZD3 seem to have some baked-in effects that can't be turned off. The bandmate feature didn't impress me so far, it doesn't create the drum track from scratch but instead modifies existing grooves which limits the options quite a bit unless you have a vast MIDI library (I don't buy MIDI packs so)Īlso, coming from Superior Drummer 3 (sold it a while ago though), the mixer could use some more features. Nice variety of sounds and the presets sound pretty good. Overall a huge improvement and worth the upgrade price.Īlso the sounds and kits it comes with are pretty nice plus I still have all the things I bought for ezd 2 I hated having beats in the ezdrummer 2 interface and would build them in my daw but I see myself building more beats inside the plug in itself now. I also wish I could drag and drop from within the daw rather than having to locate the wav inside my computer for it analyze it I think feature is amazing and will improve my workforce though. ![]() I like to play complicated rhythms on guitar and found it a bit on the basic side, but if you mainly write on, common time signatures then you should be golden. I love the bandmate feature and there's a ton of potential for future development here. The sounds seem better overall, the tap to find its a great addition that works better than before especially for building little blocks to compare beats to. If there's a drag and drop way to do it within the DAW, I haven't found it, but then again, it's Reaper, so I'm sure there's a way. I needed to record the guitar part, render it (so it's now a properly exported file, even though it's already a wav file in the DAW) and then drag that file onto the Bandmate dialog. I can't find a way to do all that without leaving the DAW. It took a stock Jabo beat and moved his kicks around and added more kick to better match what I played. the bandmate feature not only detects what you played and suggests a suitable beat, it also has the option to automatically **modify** the stock beat to match the transients of your example. The Bandmate feature has a new edit window that reminds me of a sampler, like an MPC or Maschine - drop a sample on, then familiar windows to slip and snip and fine tune it. Detected the tempo correctly off a bunch of guitar chords recorded to a metronome. Bandmate- works as advertised, suggested a number of viable beats to put behind a guitar part I quick recorded. MIDI patterns are now visualized alongside with their previews, so it's easier to **see** how busy a pattern is, before even playing it. There are new categories within the MIDI libraries such as "pickups" in addition to verse chorus fills etc. Bunch of styles, various halftimes, fulltimes, swung beats, and there's a 12/8 in there. It includes another 30 or so groove libraries. App is a little snappier and more responsiveĮdit: OK, I'm playing with it this evening and I'll post my observations as I go. My EZD2 kits and MIDI libs came along for the upgrade and seem to work fine ![]() It comes with three new (generic) kits - bright, tight, and main room. I can apparently browse/preview unpurchased MIDI libraries directly in the application now Just digging into it now.my first impressions are: ![]()
