I have upgraded my 2016 MacBook Pro to High Sierra, and it seems the update has broken the EZ Drummer plug-in. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Is there a fix in the works?
** As a follow-up – I used the PM product to unauthorized and the reauthorize my machine (a step suggested from Apple’s troubleshooting).
EZdrummer plug-in version 2.1.4 (build 13108) [64-bit VST]
Standalone host version 2.1.4 (build 13108)

EZdrummer 2 Vintage version 1.0.2
MIDI LIBRARIES

EZdrummer 2 Percussion version 1.0.1
I have been testing High Sierra in Studio One and standalone and haven’t seen this. Unfortunately I am on the road now until Thursday night and can’t test anything else.

How about standalone? Perhaps it’s just the AU version. Perhaps a full download (of the application and reinstall) might fix the AU version.

I can confirm that current version of EZdrummer 2 (and all our other plug-ins except Superior Drummer 3) cannot be opened in GarageBand on High Sierra – EXCEPT if Superior Drummer 3 is loaded or has been loaded before in the session! Then it works without problems, strangely enough.

I did a complete uninstall/reinstall using the Product Manager software, I still get an error. I hope there is a fix for this soon, as one of my machines can’t work on any of my projects now.
It’s been reported on various tech websites that High Sierra handles Audio Unit plugins differently
and some plugins may not work.

Hello everyone. This is my question too – any news about fix for the issue? Workaround still working, but it’s not really what we’re waiting, Toontrack. Hope you guys have an update as soon as possible.
This is not a Toontrack plugin specific problem, it is Apple that needs to make changes to Garageband.

I’m having the same problem with EZ Drummer and High Sierra (in relation to Garageband). Does anyone know if there is a patch available yet?
Has anyone received any feedback from Apple about this problem?
We are working on an update that will fix this. In the meantime you can try this workaround: https://ask.audio/articles/audio-plugins-not-working-in-garageband-on-macos-10-13-high-sierra-here-s-a-fix

Does anyone know how the patch for EZ Drummer is going? Any updates from Apple yet?
It’s really difficult to work without EZ Drummer.
