EZdrummer 2 percussion library cannot be found. Please reinstall EXdrummer 2″

[David Snow]

I am getting a stuck problem “EZdrummer 2 percussion library cannot be found. Please reinstall EXdrummer 2”. I have tried to delete the sound library and prefs and RE install with product manager but still get this message after re install. Please advise.

EZdrummer version: 2.2.3
Operating system: macOS Monterey (12)

I have this exact same issue: “EZdrummer 2 percussion library cannot be found. Please reinstall EXdrummer 2”

I have tried reinstalling and EZD2 otherwise works fine, but I don’t have any of the percussion sounds (hand claps, shaker, etc).

EZdrummer version: 2.2.3
Operating system: macOS Ventura (13)

I have exactly the same problem after installing EZD2 on a new machine.  No amount of reinstallation through Toontrack Product Manager makes it work.

Operating system: macOS Sequoia (15)

According to Steinberg’s site, Cubase 14 does not support VST2, which EZ Drummer 2 is. Are you trying to load EZ Drummer 2 into Cubase in Rosetta, since it will not load into Cubase natively?

True, Cubase 14 does not support VST2 although I think it depends on your CPU (Intel vs Apple Silicon), and whether you’re running w/Rosetta or not.  I’m not actually using EZD2 in Cubase 14, but I do have older projects that run on earlier versions of Cubase, and can start in Rosetta so I can kind of make it work for upgrading projects to Cubase 14 on macOS 15 on Apple Silicon, where I have EZD3 and SD3.  But sometimes I also like to run EZD2 in Standalone mode, so that’s where you might see the errors the most.

I fortunately stumbled on a workaround because I had previously installed EZD2 on an older Intel mac mini, and an M2 MBA.  All you have to do is copy a folder from a working EZD2 machine to the busted one, and you’re good to go.

/Library/Application Support/EZDrummer/EZXP_EZdrummer2_Percussion

That’s all it takes.
