EZDrummer wont load RAM

[Avistar]

I was using EZDrummer just fine in my Sonar HS7XL, so i decided to get the ‘Jazz EZX’ pack. Installed it properly (well i think so) and now i cannot get the EZDrummer to load ANY of the kits. SHOWING NO RAM !!
The 3 different kits i have (Pop/Rock, Cocktail and now Jazz) are visible both in the drop-down menu and the user interface , and you can see a ‘hit’ on the drum(s) after you mouse click it, but no sound and no RAM showing for the kit to be loaded.
Also, there is definetly a delay (about a 1/2 sec) in the time you mouse click on the drum pad and the time you see the hit.
Please help me get it back !!

Have you checked to make sure that everything is updated?
(Latest version of EZdrummer is 1.3.1, available in your account downloads page via the main Toontrack site.)
You can check your current version of EZdrummer in the lower-right-hand corner of its interface.

Yes, thx for the response. I have version 1.3.1 in the lower right corner.
Thx for checking on that.
Trying to play with it today ………..

Hi,

are you using the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version of EZdrummer? This is reported in the plugin interface as well as version number. Running the 32-bit version with some kind of bit-bridging technology could cause what you are describing, assuming you are running Sonar 64-bit.
Install the 64-bit version if so and make sure Sonar picks it up in its search for VST’s.

BR,
John

Another thing to try if you are using Win 7 is to run SONAR in administrator mode.

John & Dave – thx both for the reply. I thought i had installed the 64 bit, but i will look at that again. I will also try to run in Admin mode.
PS – I Also have a post on the Sonar Cakewalk HS7XL Forum currently ongoing … I will be updated both posts.
Keep checking in John. We will get this working again. I was working before …………………

Hey everyone !! Sorry, haven’t had a chance to resolve this yet. Hope to in the next couple of days. Thx for looking !!
John w/Tech – is this the folder where the default load of the EZDrummer Main Prm is installed ?
?? C:Program Files (x86) Toontrack ?? then when i execute the EZdrummer 64 bit Update.exe , do i install it in this ‘ Toontrack ‘ directory and point to my c:program filescakewalkVST Plugins when asked for the VST location ??

[John]

Hi,

the ‘EZHOME’ location, which contains the shared Audio and MIDI data for your EZX:s (including the core package) would likely be installed in ‘C:Program Files (x86)ToontrackEZdrummer’.
The 32-bit plugin .dll file would Default to ‘C:Program Files (x86)VSTPluginsToontrack’, which is where your host picks it up.
The 64-bit plugin .dll file Defaults to ‘C:Program FilesToontrack64-bit’ which is where you need to tell Sonar to look for it.
You will know when the 64-bit is loaded since it will be displayed right next to the version number in the plugin interface.

Best Regards,
John

John,
!! HOOOORRRRRRAAAA !!

Yes, finally got it working just GREAT again. It wasn’t fair not to tell you my system specs, which includes Windows 7-64 bit, so the Folder locations were a ‘little bit different’, but you got me on the right thinking track. The key was getting my downloads in the correct location and then using my Cakewalk Plug-In Manager to look in those folders.

The only remaining question i have is in the lower right of the plug-in interface, i show version 1.3.1 with no indication of a 64-bit. My ‘System Type’ is a “x-64 based PC” taken right from my System Information-System Summary Screen.
Is my Host Program ‘Sonar Home Studio 7XL’ only operating as a 32-bit program ?? I will inquire on the Cakewalk Forum as well on this.

Truly thanks for your time on this, John. It is good to know that if one gets into trouble with todays softwares, that with a little patience and help from a good Tech Support Staff of the product, it can be resolved. You have went beyond the ‘good Tech Support’ and have delivered excellance !!
Thanks Again,
Jim

If you are running Sonar 32-bit, then all is well but if you run/intend to run Sonar 64-bit, then you need to include that path to the 64-bit plugin in the Sonar VST search.
