I use EZ Drummer and just prefer the wider variety I can get with that and shape it to my liking. I don't need the midi drums either as EZ Drummer uses midi files from all sorts of locations. I wish they had Jazz guitar loops as they do for drums. Anyway, if you can how do you do it?

leonard:

Here's how I handle it.
In Options > Preferences > RealDrums

There is a "Global RealDrums Settings" area.
I don't want BIAB to add RealDrums to MIDI styles but I still want them (RDs) available if I decide to use them.

I leave "Enable RealDrums" checkbox on and
"Enable RealDrums style changes at any bar.

BUT

In the RealDrums Substitutions" area, I DISABLE the two checkboxes.

There's lots of variety in that window, you should be able to get what you need.
Good luck!

As for EZdrummer2 there's jazz EZX expansion for sounds i used quite often, right now on sale: EZX Jazz. Also a Jazz MIDI expansion pack, never regretted buying them, got 3/4s too, a rare thing it seems. Also spent time shopped on eBay and got quite a few MIDI, EDXs and SDXs packages from someone selling his stuff at a very good price. Jazz pack MIDI content see below ... F

If you have EZKeys try it with Jazz Guitar Midi and set it to send midi out to a guitar vst. Biab Chord Sheet to EZKeys
But if you want to fit Jazz Guitar Midi or Midi Loops over any chords or scale www.RapidComposer.com
Importing Biab Chords to RapidComposer

I have never been able to get ez drummer to map correctly with BIAB midi drums or any midi output available from real drums. Do you have a solution of step by step how you handle?

You can get a midi mapper vst but the problem with Biab you can't chain the midi vst's but you can if you use MiniHost vsti on the BB Midi Drum track and put something like https://www.codefn42.com/notemapper/ in front of EZDrummer.

Oh yea, got them already. Those were the first ones I chose. Also the Latin and blues midi's and drums. I also got groove monkey. They have a nice selection. Plus I've found various others online that give a lot of brushwork.I'll put a link to the ones I found so far
