EZD Drummer 2 VST integration into Music Maker 27 unsuccessful

[Nille71]

Hi, I have a strange issue with the VST integration of EZDrummer 2 into Music Maker 27, and need help!

MM27 and EZDrummer2 are both 64bit version. VST folder has been nominated in Music Maker 27, and the location already contains successfully functioning Korg Legacy VSTs (M1 and Wavestation). Korgs VST are properly visible in Music Maker instruments and function aas they should.

Now, I have installed EZDrummer 2, yesterday, brand new, and appointed the same MM27 VST folder location during the EZD install routine, and can even see the EZDrummer.dll in there, but once I load Music Maker, no Instrument EZDrummer visible in the GUI.

Additionally, even if I just “drag” drum loops from EZDrummer 2 into the GUI of MM27, they are not recognized, and the rythm plays off with e.g. Grand Piano, not Drum Kit.

Can anybody explain to me what I am doing wrong? Thanks for support,

brgds Nils

I’ve never used Music Maker 27 so i don’t have any personal experience. Looking at the Magix website, the free version doesn’t seem to support 3rd party plugins. I’m not sure what exact version of Music Maker you have. Can you give more details about what version you are running?

Thanks for coming back. I have the full premium version 2017, from the official website, updated. There is even a youtube video of a Russian guy, using EZDrummer in that exact version.

I have just now deinstalled and reinstalled EZDrummer 2. 64bit. Still, same issue. Runs stand alone, but wont integrate into the Music Maker Instrument library, as all the other VSTs do without issue.

THanks, brgds Nils

The premium issue does include the plugin to enable third party VST. Is installed, and works with the Korg Legacy items.

What is the exact install path of the plugin folder that contains both the Korg instruments and the ezdrummer.dll? Are the Korg instruments 64-bit? Is Music Maker 27 a 64-bit host? Try installing the 32-bit EZD2 and setting the path of that.

Hi, the path is C:\VST . And then the xxx.dll straight in to there.

Music MAker is 64, Korg is 64 and EZD install was 64.

Will do the test with the 32bit version now.

It’s not in C:\Program Files\VstPlugins\ or something? It’s right in the C:/ directory?

Yes, as this is the path given by Music Maker. And I could give that directory as a target during the EZD 64bit installation. It dropped it right in there.

Now I had deinstalled 64, installed 32, and it took over that location.

I can see the EZD.dll, rescanned the VST folder through Music Maker, the Korg devices are visible, EZD still is not.

 

I think, I am going to switch to Cubase Artist, as there, I am sure that EZD will be recognized, correct?

See the EZD2 product page and scroll the the Supported Hosts to see a list of silly tested and supported hosts for EZD2.

Like i say, I no experience with Music Maker but usually 64-bit plugins (in a 64-bit OS) get installed to C:\Program Files\VstPlugins\ or something similar and 32-bit plugins install to C:\Program Files (x86)\VstPlugins or similar.
