EZdrummer 2 working on Linux?
EZDrummer alternative?
Midi drum pattern browser plugin
So I'm thinking about to buy it. But before spend money on it I would like to know if it is possible to run it on Linux (Debian 10 + Ardour 5).
Was anybody able to run it? Are there any problems or restrictions concerning functionality?

That Drag'n'drop might be pain point. Free PowerMetalDrumKit also works, but DnD does not work, at least not in Mixbus.

Yes not as smooth, but the last midi dropped to timeline shows in /home/user/.wine/drive_c/ProgramData/Toontrack/EZdrummer. I have a shortcut to that folder on the desktop and can drag n drop it from there.

Re: EZdrummer 2 working on Linux?
Hello!
I am very interested in this topic.
I bought EZDrummer 2 years ago, but only worked in MacOs with it.
Not I changed my system to Ubuntu Studio.
I already managed it to use Kontakt 6 from Native Instruments with the help of Wine and yabridge.
Unfortunately, when I try to install EZDrummer, I get the following error message:
0518:err:process:exec_process L"Z:\\home\\marlon\\Downloads\\EZDrummer\\EZdrummer_WIN_218\\EZdrummer 64-bit.msi" not supported on this system
I also tried the 32-bit version, but it cannot be the problem, because I have a 64 bit system.
Does somebody know how to handle this?
Or should I install wine-staging?

Read the license of your sample library, then install sample robot or sampleit or I dont know how these samplewrobots are called.
This way you can get your sample library and or any hardware synth into your Linux DAW and use them as sfz.
No need for wine then anymore.
good luck
It is you who needs to do homework. I haven't ever used EZdrummer, but point in that is not plain drum sound library, but UI and features whick help you to make drum track easy way. And using drum sampled with SFZ, is it possible to have choke-feature with sfz?

Yes, a basic choke feature is quite easy with SFZ. Check out tge Cymbal mute tutorials on sfzformat.com

Seach on the internet the two words msi and wine - I will do now for you:

To make it short, you have to install dotNET ...i mean .NET system.This was just for the fun, now comes the pain:
oooh, who could have thought that dependency are not something linux special - all software need some prerequisites - even under hyper windows special vip operating systems.
Next time you are running into trouble on a wine session, install the C++ redistributables.
Or do it like the fart man, ooh, sorry, I meant do it like the smart man, the smart!

The funny thing is. On my other Ubuntu System I managed it with EZDrummer. Using wine-stable. Unfortunately I installed all the other things on my new System with just wine (installed from the GUI). Would be a big thing to remove wine, install wine-staging, install then EZDrummer and hope that all other plugins will install just the same way they did in the past.
Sorry for not doing "homework". Since 2 weeks a do a lot of homework i my opinion. Sitting the whole day in my room to manage it, making Linux a comfortable system for audio and video productions. Yeah, I know... somehow it sounds utopic...
Re: EZdrummer 2 working on Linux?
Unbelievable!
I looked at my Desktop - there where the executable Files of EZDrummer!
Although the shell crashed with errors while doing wine EZDrummer.
I just did the yabridge thing and successfully started EZDrummer in Reaper!
I switched on my E-drum and played some groove Jazz Rock with Ghost Notes.
No latency at all, nice clear sound. No problem! I am really surprised!
I think it's time for a TimeShift Backup now. And after this: Time for Symphonic Jazz Rock with EZDrummer and East West Quantum Leap Orchestral Bundle!
Thanks for the help, if there are questions, just let me know!
