    TLDR; When you add a library to the search feature, the files are processed and added to a database.

    I would like to know how to back up and restore that database.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

     

    it’s easier than that: when it comes to the Toontrack MIDI, it’s as simple as going to Menu > Advanced > Restore Factory MIDI Database.

    Next, you would go into Settings > MIDI Libraries and tick those folders you wish to include and they will be scanned and added to the database.

    This will take far less time than actually navigating to the location of a manually created backup and copy it to the correct location.

     

    BR,

    When my database got corrupted (admittedly when I was editing the names of the folders in the Midi directory) and I got an error in the search tab, the ‘Restore Factory MIDI Database’ did not fix the error, and I couldn’t get rid of the error until I had reinstalled EZD2.

    So I was thinking that if the database is a file held somewhere, I might be able to repair a corruption in the future by replacing it with the latest version from my weekly backup disk image, rather than have to reinstall and set everything up again.

    There is a 300mb midiDB file in C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Toontrack\EZdrummer.
    I think that is what I was looking for.
