New EZDrummer 2 update that provides a fix for legacy EZdrummer projects in SONAR

In the EZdrummer 2.0.2 update that has been released there is a toggle in the Menu selections found in the upper right hand corner of the EZD2 window.  Click the menu button and then navigate to the Sound Engine and then to the SONAR options.  If you check the box that says Show Number of Outputs Dialog on Start Up you will be prompted with a dialog box that will allow you to select 8 or 16 stereo outputs when you open a project with EZdrummer 2.  That way you can work with projects that were created with both versions of EZdrummer and not lose your other softsynth routing set up.

One thing that I have noticed is that the dialog box gets hidden by the SONAR Window so you might have to minimize SONAR to find the dialog box.  I'm going to let them know that this is happening to see if that can be changed.

Thanks Mod Bod. Awesome news.

I am excited but fearful since I lost a LOT of work with the EZ Drummer 2 update.  Fixing outputs/routing was the least of my issues: no audio and no way to freeze or unfreeze was the big deal.  I know I am not the only one who experienced that and it was recreated reliably by Sweetwater.  Does any have experiences or thoughts?
 
I suppose worst case I could back up all projects externally and then take an Acronis image.  That's a real pain, though.

Konradh, I opened an old project that had EZD1 in it and sure enough I lost some of my Synths in the project. I didn't notice it at first, but once I did I tried to unfreeze one synth and couldn't. It was dead.

Before I go to open an old project, I have to stop and think, is EZD in here or did I convert to audio.

This patch and Mod Bod's method "salvaged" a handful of tunes that had audio problems after upgrading to EZD2.
 
I violated the cardinal rule of "Don't upgrade when your in the middle of a big project", so I'm glad this patch solved the audio issues on the tunes that had EZD1 in them.
  

I like others welcome the good news.  However I have to agree with some posts that I will not be using ezd2 at this time.  I would like to hear something directly from toontrack or cakewalk that this in fact works, not that I don't trust Mod Bod but what worked for him may not work for others.  I got so aggravated when I first got ez2 and I don't want to go through that again.  I have started using addictive drums as an alternative to ezd1.  I still like the ezd software better but at least I have more options also using addictive. 

Warning - older thread for those of you racing off to toontracks to grab a new update for ezdrummer2...
