Sonar doesn't have the ability to swap the number of outs dynamically, no?

Appears that way.

Sorry I wasn't laughing about the issue which of course is important to EZ Drummer users. Rather at a particular statement. Anyway nothing constructive I regret bringing attention and diverting it...Cheers...

BTW Joakes workaround seems acceptable to me assuming it works. Wondering of right clicking the synth and replacing it might be slightly quicker though. Anway its not much different than say upgrading from Dim LE to Dim Pro which does not have backwards compatibility either (treated as separate synths for some weird reason).

If it does work I strongly suspect the actual issue to be with Toon's code not taking account of upgrade scenarios.

Hey, Alex, I knew you weren't laughing at the problem--I'm just trying to keep up here and thought I missed something.  Thanks for all the input and ideas (in this thread and others).

Ah no worries, I though was getting totally carried away and needed to slap myself around the face a little.... :)
Thanks for yours as well..

Cheers...

Haven't been on the forum for a couple of weeks and all the information shared is quite informative.  As far as the workaround Jerry suggested, I am not sure that it will fix the main problem I am having and that is that the other softsynths, plugins, vsts or whatever you want to call them become unusable because they don't know which output to use.  As far as dragging the midi from ez1 track to ez2 track does that allow me to edit and add things using ez2?  Though if it is still screwing up all the other plugins I can't see that happening. 
 
Unfortunately the answer for me was to just uninstall ez2 and keep using ez1.  I was hoping that I could install ez2 on an old computer (vista) with an old version of sonar would allow me to create audio files and then import to the win7 computer.  However ez2 is not compatible with vista.
 
Though I can't really afford it right now I would give consideration to upgrading to Sonar x3 if I thought all this could work together but to the best of my understanding the problem would still be the same.
 
As far as Sonar and Toontrack working together I can only quote Rodney King (google it if you are too young to remember this) "can we all get along".

EZ2 is in my wishlist, their site states that the plugin supports Sonar X1 and above.  In my opinion, the responsability of this information is theirs and not Cakewalk's.  It sounds pretty nonsense that they didn't know that EZ1 owners wouldn't have problems with routings, didn't they test it?!  And worse, EZ2 overwrites EZ1... :o((

Last week their site stated the plugin supports Sonar 8.5 and above.
I wonder if next week it will state Plugin supports Sonar X3 or above.
It should state - plugin supports but does not function as advertised in Sonar X1 and above.
Hurrah for Sonar X1 and above. 
Thumbs down for EZ2.

Rolling down the EZ2 page, we can see the unsupported hosts with advertisements / requirements; they could've put some advice about the malfunctions to people that has EZ1 installed.

I just put ez drummer on a few days ago and just in awe with this soft synth. 
 
When I first saw some post a couple of months ago, I was kind of reluctant to try, then I installed the demo then purchased and despite some getting acquainted with what's going on, it works well in all cases.
 
Now the multiple output has some members concerns, my initial observation on multiple output can only be seen on the stand alone app under setting/audio midi set up, then if you navigate to out channels the default set to main out and the multi out is un checked, whether that causes I'm not sure. However, in the host mode (VST 2) under sonar I didn't hunt around enough to see the multiple out puts, yet I know Kontact player does have options for multiple outputs in which I never used.
