Okay so this is really weird.

I Googled this a bit more and found a few YouTube videos and one – for no good reason – stood out, because the guy put his SD3 library into another folder on his external drive: I just copied it to the empty drive.

Anyway – I make a new folder on the drive (Toontrack of course) and move my SD libraries into it – and lo and behold all is good again. Just pointed SD3 (standalone and DAW versions) to the new TT folder and this time they both work.

There is no good reason that adding folder structure to a file should make it more visible – maybe I just moved a header file off a bad data block or something; but whatever. It works now. Happy days.

Operating system: macOS Catalina (10.15)

Actually there might be a good reason: theres’ a possibility the group permission of the root level of the drive may not be allowing SD3 to see the files on that level.

But why would that only affect the Logic plugin version Jord? -Maybe I’m missing something (very probably) but didn’t make sense to me the standalone worked fine and the plugin just laughed at me….

SD3 is loaded within Logic’s sandbox. Logic may not have had the permission. Hard to tell, however, without looking at your file system.
