I don't think that would work with the BFD2 & BFD3 grooves as they are a proprietary format.

I don't have either, but do you / can you still drop the BDF grooves into a Sonar Midi Chanel? - if yes, I think it might work as it is a format conversion tool - shall have to fire mine up and see if BDF is listed

Yes you can drag the grooves into sonar or on to your desktop but doing that converts them to midi anyway so wouldn't that rule out the need for the EZplayer converter?
 
BFD3 has keymaps for addictive drums so in theory they should already be ready for use.

I have BFD2 & BFD3 installed on both of my systems.
 
I confess that I find BFD2 a lot more intuitive than BFD3, although this is probably due to 2 reasons:
 
1 - I haven't yet sat down with the BFD3 manual and read the bits I need to read
2 - There are a LOT more options regarding routing/ambient channels which makes (for me) the mixer page rather daunting.
 
Having said that, there's no discernible difference in sound quality and BFD3 comes with kits which you can't load up in BFD2. BFD3 of course loads all of the expansion packs from BFD2 and all earlier versions.

OK guys
I loaded up Addictive Drums 2.
Then I found I still had BDF Eco on my system, so I loaded that (totally forgotten I had that - picked it up for about $15 a few years back and naughty me I don't think I've ever used it - so thanks for reminding me I had it!!!!)
Loaded Ezplayer, set mapping to Addictive drums and the outputs to where they should go.
Dropped some grooves out of BDF Eco into Ezplayer and they sounded like they played perfectly in Addictive drums, so with Eco anyway, yes it looks like you can load their grooves in Addictive Drums
Cheers

Be sure to pay close attention though. You may not be getting the best articulations and some hits may get mapped to something totally out of whack (like something that should be a cymbal hit gets sent to a cowbell or dog barking or a fart sound... etc).
 
Those fluke automappings might work for simple stuff and most hits but really give it all a listen a thorough once over in case you need to change something. Better to do that when you're looking at it than hearing it later.
 
If the map is mostly correct right away but only a few things are off you can go into the sampler's MIDI map and just adjust the map so those NOTES hit the right kit piece. Might want to save the map at that point too if you intend to work with similarly mapped grooves in the future.

I always like a good fart sound in my songs...

Beepster is available for professional flatulence session work. A few days notice is necessary for baritone parts which requires some diet adjustments and instrument preparation but "squeaker" performances can be provided same day.
 
Jarred accompaniment scents via same day courier are extra and Beepster can not guarantee to quality or freshness of the samples. Of course the audio samples are not included in the jars and are provided for inspirational purposes only.
