I'm loving it. I downloaded it earlier today and just been playing around with it. It really lives up to my expectations. Sounds are great and the whole song/groove manipulation works a treat! I would normally do my drumming live or program it, but I certainly can see me using the new functionality.

what happens to the expansion packs...as they get updated too...correct?  and I presume they'll still work in Superior.
 
New MIDI grooves?

I know of the new Modern and Vintage kits, but what are the other three?

Yes, your expansion packs get updated.  You will know that they are update by the new graphics and the presence of new presets for them.  You may have to run an update separately for your existing EZXs.  I noticed all of my EZXs had an update indicated in my products page.

You can also drum your grooves into the Song Track and then use the Play Style Editor to juice them up a bit or add some extra percussion.

Yes, your EZXs will work in Superior but you won't see the additional mixer presets available.  There is an update coming out for Superior that will allow you to use the new EZD2 presets.

The new midi grooves for the New Modern and New Vintage kits are available to Superior but as of now the kits are not showing up in Superior.  I think the update will take care of that, as well.  I haven't seen the Superior update yet so I am going by what the video blog said.

Honestly, for the last 2 - 3 songs going out of my Gatortraks studio, I've use EZdrummer 2 for everything.  I've been running the betas for production since the first one was announced.  I am thoroughly spoiled by the Tap to Find, the Song Creator and the Play Style editor.

Can't wait to test it. Download went just fine and I'm currently installing it - but I'm having a heck of a time trying to access my other product's upgrade so I'm thinking that the authorization process may not be as easy as the download was...
