Once I finish it off and have thoroughly tested it, I'll give folks here the heads-up. Version 2 is a platform which has no development anymore so I would never invest there. This may perhaps be of some use other than working around the limitations of EZD2. And the AD2 sound sets cover alot of ground in. I believe AD2 is more equivalent to Superior Drummer in terms of options. AD2 is more versatile and higher quality of sounds. Hi All My first post here I see this topic has been discussed before but I hoped to get some advice based on a specific use. However, I've almost completed writing a TCL script which will do bulk MIDI file processing, recursively across a folder hierarchy, transposing any arbitrary set of notes to new values, writing the modified MIDI files back out to an identical hierarchy in a user-defined location. EZDrummer 2 vs Addictive Drums 2 - again.

I myself prefer Superior Drummer, and EZDrummer 1 over earlier AD. If I'd known beforehand about the inability to re-map kit pieces (more fool me for not doing my research properly), I would have not touched it. But as a simple user - and I use a customized Yamaha e-kit, consisting of nearly 4 kits combined, with 4 drum trigger modules, and about 40 triggers to shake a stick at - Ive used Superior 2, EZDrummer 1, and earlier Addictive Drum VSTis. As the MIDI files themselves are not changing, this points to a BUG in the EZD2 software. This new interface makes it quite easy to get some of the best musical parts. The latest version of the drummer features a new GUI, the sound engine, mixer, etc. sometimes they play in correct time, sometimes in double time). The Ezdrummer is a great alternative to addictive drums and helps to provide an equally impressive tool kit for producing some of the best beats. Toontrack Superior Drummer 3 is a virtual instrument and drum production plug-in, which offers 230GB of raw, unprocessed drum sounds, a comprehensive library of grooves, advanced sound-replacement and augmentation tools, and a built-in mixer to route and process custom kits, all in one program. I've also noticed some unusual behaviour in EZD2, for example, bringing 3rd-party MIDI files (from oddgroooves in my case) into the song-creator pane can sometimes cause them to play at double-time, depending upon the order in which MIDI files are dragged in (i.e. I believe that this is the only drum sample player in the known universe which does not offer this functionality (Toontrack indicates that this is only available in Superior Drummer, of the products they offer).

I think it's worth mentioning that EZDrummer2 (AKA 'Inferior Drummer' by me) does not allow remapping of the MIDI notes assigned to kit pieces.
