Did you set the path to the Ezdrummer.dll in the Cubase Device Menu?

Hi Scott,

thanks for your answer. I guess there’s no dll file, I can’t find it in the ez drummer/toontrack folder, in both Program and Program (x86) folders…

EZdrummer version: 2.1.8
Operating system: Windows 10

Does the standalone EZDrummer 2 app work? If yes then, click Help->Show Plugin Path

That’s where your dll file is, point Cubase there.

if EZDrummer 2 app is not found try reinstalling

Hi Brad,

I did as you say, i opened ez drummer 2 as stand alone, clicked help and found the dll path.

Then I point cubase there, nothing… I will try to uninstall and reinstall ezd 2…

EZdrummer version: 2.1.8
Operating system: Windows 10

What is the exact install path of EZD2?

Still no ezdrummer… The dll path is C./Program Files (x86) /VstPlugins/EZdrummer.dll

[Francesco Marras]

are you sure that the ez drummer 2 vst instrument is supported by Cubase 10?

[Francesco Marras]

is it possible that there’s no dll file?? When I open the folder i can’t find the dll file…

[Francesco Marras]

I’ve found the dll file, but it wasn’t there:

C./Program Files (x86) /VstPlugins/EZdrummer.dll

The ezdrummer now is red in the vst instrument list in the cubase plug in manager window…the others plug in are white…

[Scott]

(X86) path means that it’s a 32-bit plugin. Cubase 10 is a 64-bit host only. Please install the 64-bit EZD2.
