EZDrummer 2 / Software update for macOS 10.9 or above

[Andreas Ohlström]

Hi,

So I did a fresh install of Big Sur yesterday. Been installing all plugins today and came to EZDrummer. Everything went smooth until EZX pack “In the Pocket”.

As you can see from screenshots, “Kicks & Snares” was installed fine even though the installation error occurred.

When I installed the “main” EZD2, I set the “core” sounds to an external drive.

I understand the main issue should be to upgrade “EZD2 to 10.9 or above…”  but since I’m getting the error it’s a bit frustrating.

Tried so far:

• Removed all components, vst’s etc, documentation, whatever was named EZdrummer was uninstalled. Did a reboot and installed it again with the same issue.
• Reinstalled product manager
• Tried to download and install  the upgrade and expansion pack both from Product manager (after reinstallation) and the website, issue still remains.

Any suggestions?

Operating system: macOS Big Sur (11)

You missed the last argument, “/Users/Shared/Toontrack/Preferences/com.toontrack.ezdrummer2.plist”. All the red text in the box in my previous message should be copy/pasted, all at once.

I think the error in the first screenshot is caused by the sounds being located on an ExFAT-formatted drive. (It’s an installer issue that will be fixed in the next update of EZD2.) But that attempt at installing the update, did it not fix the In the Pocket issue anyway?

Cool, that’s good news. And yes, the external is an ExFAT-formatted SSD drive.

Any idea when the update will arrive? Like within a couple of weeks or 3 months cuz I like those “In the pocket”!

No, it didn’t solve the issue. Got a few other EZX packs just now and they work fine as well… strange…

Could you open Terminal (in Applications > Utilities) please and paste the following commands to it and press Enter?

ls -leO /Users/Shared/Toontrack/Preferences/com.toontrack.ezdrummer2.plist
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print :SDIVersion' /Users/Shared/Toontrack/Preferences/com.toontrack.ezdrummer2.plist

What do they show?

Sorry for late response, it shows this. I assume the permissions is right. Have not modified it.

[Olof]

Thanks. This command should make it possible to install the EZX:

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Set :SDIVersion "2.2.1"' /Users/Shared/Toontrack/Preferences/com.toontrack.ezdrummer2.plist

Btw, do you have the three percussion pads in EZdrummer or are they missing?

Tried that but I might be missing something?
