Changing Drives; EZ is now confused

[engineerjoel]

I had to move the EZDrummer folder that includes all the MIDI/SOUNDS to a new drive.

Now when I launch a session that I original had EZDrummer loaded, EZDrummer can’t find the folder and is asking me to either reinstall or put the folder back on the original drive.

How do you “point” EZ drummer to see the new drive that has all MIDI/SOUNDS data it’s looking for?

thanks,

If you’re on a PC you can’t ‘point’ EZdrummer to the MIDI/Sounds data. You’ll need to uninstall EZdrummer and reinstall using the ‘Custom’ option install to your new drive location.

engineerjoel,

please take the time to fill in your system specifications in your profile and/or signature.

Through some detective work, I presume you are still on Mac, right?
Then there is an alternative to re-installing everything, namely the ‘SoundMover’ utility.
Please use the latest version included in the latest EZdrummer update and use it to Repair your manual modification; i.e. when you run SoundMover, point it to the folder in the new location containing the ‘EZdrummer’ folder with all the EZX/Sounds and MIDI subfolders.

BR,
John
