    Adding to the above, ‘installing’ (copying) the library parts is taking a long time on an internal SSD.  Back to bed.

    You then have to install them. The download is not the installation. In the toontrack download manager you have a download button and when downloaded you have the option to install.

    SD3 with older sdx,s plus Rooms of Hansa and Death & Darkness. Cubase and wavelab current versions. Roland TD50x using all trigger inputs for triggering SD3 only. Windows 11 computer. Various keyboards and outboard gear as well as VST instruments. Acoustic drums: Yamaha 9000 natural wood and Pearl masters. Various snare drums. RME BabyFace Pro FS and Adam A7X monitors

    So I’m installing part 1 of the core library from the product manager, which seems to be copying part 1 of the core library to the same drive, and I assume that it will do the same for the other parts of the core library. This seems like a waste of time. Surely there is another way to do this. If there is, it’s not in the manual, and I don’t see instructions provided elsewhere.

    Installer is doing more than a mere copy of sound content.

    You’ll just have to be patient while it is doing its work.

    Watching what the install did, it actually does look to be mostly just copying and moving files from the download directories to the ‘SL-SuperiorDrummer3’ directory on the same drive, which adds up to around 100 minutes worth of copying.

    I was wondering the same. I just had to dig out an old drive for the Jazz Sessions download because I don’t have enough room on my main. With enough room on my external sample drive for the expansion, an option for a direct install would’ve been nice.

    SD3 v3.3.6, EZbass v1.1.7, EZkeys v1.3.4
    Studio One v5.5.2, Cubase v12.0.60
    3.6GHz Intel i9 iMac, 64GB RAM, OS 12.6.1

    That’s only what you see. There are a few things it is doing under the hood as well.

    4TB SSD’s are relatively inexpensive these days.

    The ‘copying‘ portion of the installation might actually go faster
    if the [DOWNLOAD] location and SD3 library were not on the same drive.
