Move EZ Keys sound folder?

[Soundhound]

Is it possible to move the folder where the sounds are installed to an external SSD? It takes a little while (not long, but I’m used to SSD loading speeds) to load the instruments and I’m thinking it would be faster from one of my SSDs. If so, how do you do it/find the folder where the sounds are kept?

thanks!

Hi,

it works the same as with EZdrummer 2.
You should be able to follow these instructions but just switch ‘EZdrummer’ to ‘EZkeys’.

Thanks John. I’ll give it a try!

Worked like a charm, thanks John! Ran into another problem though. I moved my EZ Drummer2, EZ Keys and Superior Drummer 2 files to a Toontrack folder on the SSD. EZ Keys and EZDrummer 2 seem to be fine, finding all their sounds and midi files (I think, fingers crossed!). SD2 I was able to reset the path in settings for all my SD2 libraries, but it doesn’t seem to be finding the EZDrummer2 libraries and I don’t see a setting for that? I think I’ve been able to play all those EZDrummer2 libraries in SD2, though SD2 gives them more control. I usually first work in EZDrummer2, then when ready to mix, put in an SD2 and use the same sound set. I think that;s what I;ve been doing? Are they the same libraries, or do I have SD2 versions of the EZDrummer2 libraries perhaps? Anyway I can’t figure out how to get SD2 to find them?

Thanks!

Hi,

did you launch Superior 2 before EZdrummer 2 after you had moved the Sounds?
When you set the link to the new location in EZdrummer 2 post moving them, this link should be picked up by Superior 2.
If you uninstall the Superior 2 plugin and re-install the latest version, does it find the EZX:s and MIDI?

Thanks John, I’m downloading the latest version of SD2 (2.4.0). Do I use that to uninstall and then reinstall? And if so, will it install sounds that I need to move to my SDs sounds folder now located on an external SSD?

The file I downloaded is titled Superior_Preview_MAC_240, is that the right one?
thanks.

Update: I opened up SD2 and the EX Drummer EX libraries were there. The SD library paths had become unchecked. So I re assigned those and now everything is working. I hadn’t reinstalled the SD2 instrument. I think the gremlins must have come in one night and fixed everything. 🙂

When my cursor hovers over the video, it gives me the error: “http://www.toontrack.com refused to connect”. An updated link or written instructions would be appreciated….
