New install, not seeing very many midi files

[Vicki Silbert]

Hello, wondering if my install is not right. Seems like there are hardly any midi files installed. Entire categories are left blank such as blues. The categories that have material in them seem to have very little material. It can’t be that I just spent $179 for a program with such a small amount of content? I looked in the midi folder in the Mac library and entire categories have no content, just a locked text file that says “header”. Anyone have any idea what is going on? So far this program seems kind of useless which is very disappointing. The demos I watched online looked much better than what is installed on my machine.

I have attached a few screenshots of what I am seeing in the folders and would like to know if this is normal? The entire EZdrummer core library is empty and just has a text document that says header. Any input would be appreciated, thank you.

EZdrummer version: 3.0.6
Operating system: macOS Ventura (13)

You should have over 2k midi files. Selecting things on the Grooves Tab can filter many of these files away. Send a screenshot of the Grooves Tab in EZD3 so we can check.

Hello Shootie, I have been watching some of your tutorials on YouTube, thanks so much for posting those.

I am attaching a screenshot, not so sure what you will be able to tell from that. I have been a little disappointed in the midi files so far, but I am beginning to realize that I can do a lot to modify them in the grid editor.

Anyway, thank you for your reply, and look forward to a further insight!

Great to hear!

All the midi is there. One thing about the search results area (where you can audition all of the midi). When you have a super high count of midi, 2.5k in this case…. you’ll only see 100 or so at a time. You’ll notice that as you scroll down to the bottom it will stop, if you hang out for a few seconds a few hundred more will load in and you can continue scrolling… this will keep happening until you get through 2.5k midi files. Maybe that’s what you were missing?

I spent a lot of time on the Grooves Tab the past few months on my channel. If you haven’t yet, take a peak at the last 20 videos, many are on this topic.

Hope that helps!
