EZ3 – No Grooves Available? Mac Big Sur

[Walter McKeever]

I got EZDrummer 3 installed on my M1 Mac Mini, however, when I search for any groove, they are all empty?

I relocated the EZDrummer folder as instructed to a SSD thunderbolt drive per the Toontrack instructions.

The current path is listed correctly and it mentions the Toontrack MIDI file location correctly.
The M1 MIDI only has 220GB total of internal storage when new.

I installed 6 EZ Drummer packs and the MIDI from my 8 MIDI libraries from Superior Drummer 3 via Toontrack Product Manager.

I went to do a demo for my Recording Arts students and Zero Grooves?

When I click Show in Finder, EZdr 3 sees the files, but they don’t appear in the Groove browser.

I can drag them, one by one, from the Finder to the EZdrummer plug-in, get the import dialog, and then listen.
But it is a workflow killer.

How can it know the path but just show empty folders?

I can get the new MIDI display to show if I enable Show Web Shop MIDI.  But I cannot see the Toontrack MIDI pack I own?
They all display, for every part “Empty folder”

Please advise.  Thanks to any tips in advance.

BEST ANSWER

Please look in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Files and Folders if Pro Tools is listed and if any checkbox for it is not ticked (like “Removable Volumes”).

You can also try “Restore MIDI Database” in EZD3 Settings > Advanced.

Thank Olof!  All the Security and Privacy > Files and Folders were checked

but Settings > Advanced > Rebuild MIDI Database worked!

Thanks so much!
