Cannot drag grooves into Cubase

[Toogloomy]

EZD is working fine apart from i am unable to drag grooves into Cubase.
I have just installed Cubase 7 on a new PC (Windows 7 64) and everything is fine and dandy apart from this annoying groove problem.
The grooves play ok within the EZD module but will not load into Cubase.
I have downloaded and installed the EZD updates but i still have this problem.
Can anyone help?

Are they being added to a new track at the bottom of the project? If so, try making these changes in the Cubase preference menu:

Preferences – Midi – Midi File

Uncheck – Auto Dissolve Format 0

Uncheck – import to Instrument Track

Does the EZdrummer interface read ‘(64-bit)’ next to the version number? Have you installed the latest update for EZdrummer?

I have downloaded the updates and unchecked those options but the problem remains.
Toontrack solo states it is the 1.3.2 64 bit version but when it’s opened within Cubase it is the 1.1.1 version…..not 64 bit.
There is obviously some problem of Cubase not seeing the 64 bit version.
What can i do the rectify this?

See this FAQ about setting paths in Cubase:

I have now managed to drag the grooves into Cubase…….but i notice that EZD is still the 32 bit version.
When i try to add the path of the 64 bit it does nothing. Should i delete the 32 bit path?
I think the problem arose because when doing the update to 1.3.2 i didn’t initially run the 32 bit updater before the 64 bit version.
The problem now is that Cubase doesn’t want to close.
Bloody hell.
Should i uninstall EZD and re-install it?

Yes, you may want to uninstall and reinstall. Install the full product, run the 32-bit update and then the 64-bit update.

Hmmm i deleted the EZD dll file from the 32 bit VST folder and then opened Cubase and of course it stated it couldn’t find the path. I then tried to add the 64 bit path without success……i then closed Cubase and put the 32 bit dll file back into the VST folder, opened Cubase and somehow it is now seeing the 64 bit path. Bizarre.
I don’t really know how but it is now working fine.

Thanks for your help Scott. Much appreciated.
