EZ Drummer Access

Extremely important note: It's only possible to change drums on the pads an alter controls in the mixer in the Pop/Rock drum set that ships with EZDrummer. In other words, it's not possible to access any pads and the mixer in other EZX's such as the EZX_Cocktail. This is due to pads being placed randomly on screen and the mixer being in a different position. If you want full access to all pads in EZX'S other than the EZ Drummer Pop/Rock set then, you should instead purchase Superior Drummer 2.
