EZDrummer not functioning within SONAR X2

[david cawley]

Hello,
I have updated to the latest EZDrummer version but I cannot get EZDrummer to work within SONAR X2. I tried everything listed in the FAQ and Support pages.
Unfortunately, This hasn’t helped!!
Still no EZDrummer with Sonar X2!!!

EZDrummer loads BUT, the samples fail to load and do not fill up the sample load progress bar!!!
I’ve searched around the net for a way to get this to work but seems like no one has come up with proper answers or any solutions.
I bought Sonar X2 around 6 months ago…however due to Sonar refusing to load, I’ve hardly used it. I thought Sonar would be a good replacement for SONY ACID 7!
What a mistake! If you can help me please offer your help here so that others in the same position as me can receive the helping hand!
Fond regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

just need to ask a few questions first:

1) You are sure you have installed the Full Download product first? I.e. not just the update?

2) You did run both the installers, 32-bit and 64-bit?

3) Which version number is displayed in the plugin interface in Sonar?

1) yes I updated my ezdrummer to v1.3.2 was about 600mb download
2) I havnt found any 64bit drivers. Sonar says that EZDrummer is 32bit. I am yet to be given an option for 64bit install.
3) My DAW doesnt say anything other than that EZDrummer is 32bit.

Note: All other VSTi’s work flawlessly within SONAR X2

Thanks for your interest & I hope you can help me and all the others on this issue

Fond Regards

Hi,

the latest version is the 1.3.3 update and the package includes both a 32-bit and 64-bit installer.
I am assuming you are running Sonar X2 in 64-bit and therefore the Cakewalk Bitbridge is bridging the 32-bit version of the plugin.
This is likely the problem and when you install the 64-bit version of EZdrummer and make sure this version is what Sonar X2 picks up instead of the 32-bit version, you shouldn’t have any problem.

Hi.
Thank you for your reply.

Can you please post a URL to the 64bit EZDrummer for me please?

Fond regards,
Daniel.

Just check your Toontrack account and download the latest update package. It includes both 32-bit and 64-bit installers

Hello,
I am having the same problem as above. Ezdrummer shows up in Sonar X2 but does not load any sounds and is completely useless. I have the latest updated version and am using Windows 7. It worked great with my other computer running Vista but won’t work with Windows 7 properly. I also see no available 64 bit option anywhere.

Thanks John,
I did not notice the [updates] tab next to my authorizations. That is where v1.3.3 is and contains the 64 bit patch. Ezdrummer is working great now! Just wanted to post this for reference to anyone else having this issue.

Where exactly is the v1.3.3 version?? Can someone please supply a URL to the file please?
The only link I’ve discovered for any updates is from the Menu’s -“My Account” then “My Product” then -“Update Available” Is this correct?
Please help!!! I love Sonar X2….but i’ve been forced not to use it because I also love the EZDrummer line of products!!
Any assistance is very much appreciated!

Kind Regards,
Daniel

YES BABY!!!!
I have had a real huge success!!!!
I have finally got EZDrummer with Sonar X2!!
The 64bit drivers are in the Menu’s “My Account”- “My Product” -“Update Available” then click “Updates” button and choose 64bit!
I have been searching for an answer for around a year now. I had given up hope..I had read everywhere and copy and pasted the dll file all over the place…non of that worked but at last, I have gotten it to work…

I could hug you!!!

Thank you Christopher_Paul and John
