John on Identifying grooves in Sonar X3

Sorry,

don't know what's up with that, it may be that MIDI Packs aren't tied to unlocking Forum views but I'll copy some of the info from those threads here:

I need to know how to identify EZD patterns after the fact......after I drag and drop them into a midi track in Sonar.
 
The clip properties will tell me the clip title is "EVR_Rd_G03c_G04:18" and that is meaningless to me when I try to translate that to the user-friendly names in EZD's groove listings.

if you consider how many grooves there are combining all EZX-s thus far, and how many distinct but descriptive ways there are to name them, the reason should be pretty obvious 😉

Anyway, each group of letters correspond to a level in the browser. Each letter in a group is a shorthand for the full name, with provision for duplicate categories.

So in your example,

Ezx Vintage Rock_
4th (d) Rock instance (Slow Tempo)_
3rd (c) Groove 03 instance (Rebel Music)_
Groove 04

... and the cherry on the cake, velocity sweep value before drag and drop: 18

Hi,

are you sure it isn't "EPD_Pb_G09_07H"?
Because then it would be:
EPD = the EZdrummer POP/ROCK stock MIDI
Pb = the second (b, like in a,b,c,d, etc) POP/ROCK entry, i.e. the Shuffles (P=POP/ROCK, b=2nd)
G09 = GROOVE 09
07H = the 07.Hats 8th Hard Closed/Ghost variation

This is the naming nomenclature for all Toontrack MIDI when dragged to host and shortened.
E.g. SP2_S4c_PCb_V02 means:
Songwriters Pack 2/Straight 4/4 3rd entry (the Uptempo one)/Pre Chorus 2nd entry (Modern Rock 155bpm)/Variation 02

Hope this clarifies.

BR,
John
