Problem with core midi pack error message

[ricopolo]

Hi,

I work on Mac OSx yosemite, mac mini 2018, I7.  I am the admin. I just, tryed to install the core midi pack, and I have an error message. I have tryed to create a folder in the library/application support/superior drummer, and set the path to it. Error message. I have tryed to set the path to library/application support/toontrack/superior drummer, error message.

I am truly sorry I spend almost two days trying to fix this issue, nobody help nor answer on the forum. I spend 350 on this, I tryed to install, reinstall, I bought an external SDD, installed the soft on the sdd, then on the mac, nothing work. I don’t have any grooves, so basically superior drummer is useless for me if the problem is not solved.

I don’t understand what is it that I have to do. Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Could you first please try to create a folder named ‘EZDrummer’ in {Mac HD}/Library/Application Support?

If there is a folder there already, just leave  it as it is.

Next, please edit the path in SD3 (Settings > Libraries/Paths) for ‘Additional Libraries’ to ‘/Library/Application Support/EZDrummer’.

Close and reopen SD3 to check that the path “sticks”.

Now open the PM and try to install the MIDI pack.

BR,
John

I don’t see any products registered to your account. Can you give us some details on your system and if you’ve tried John’s solution above?

I have SD3, and using the Program Manager application to install.  The SD3 download installs without a problem.  The separate installable, Basic Sound Library, Core MIDI pack, goes through the process of installing, and the installer reports that the installation was successful.  However, the status of the Core MIDI portion of the pack still has the “Install” button enabled, as if it were not installed, after all.

Is this a problem that is known?

Thanks very much, Darryl

It shouldn’t normally happen. Go to Settings > Libraries/Paths in SD3 and check the “Additional Libraries” path near the bottom. Changing it should fix it. The MIDI installer defaults to “/Library/Application Support/EZDrummer” (Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > EZDrummer), so if you change the path to that, you probably won’t even need to re-run the installer.

Thanks for the reply!  No, it’s not that the libraries aren’t being found.  The Settings/Libraries/Paths shows no errors, and libraries are found where I installed them (C\:Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Toontrack\EZDrummer)  I can click, with the mouse, on drums on the SD3 graphical virtual drum set, and they sound great.  My problem is that I have the Roland HPD-20 connected correctly (the MIDI Monitor in SO5 populates as the HPD-20 is played, on Channel 1), and the SD3 is set up correctly, listening on “Any” channel.  Still SD3 receives no MIDI commands, and doesn’t sound.  So, how do I connect them?  I’ve attached a screenshot showing the track and its parameters, the MIDI Monitor receiving commands from the HPD-20.  And the SD3 interface open.

Hi, Olof.  Yes, I’ve tried adding it as an instrument, then read where it was instructed to have the H-D-20 added as a keyboard, and I did that.  They gave no specific reason for doing it, and I didn’t see any different facilities doing it that way, after doing it.  God, I’d love some specifics and details. As well as a description of how SO5 processes MIDI between instruments and sound libraries (or other plug-ins) in detail, so I have a clue as how to arrange and fix things myself.  But all I can find from Toontracks and Presonus are snippets of info.  I’d settle for a snippet if it worked.  Maybe it’d be a clue to how it all works…

Thanks very much, Darryl

If you press record in Studio One, does the MIDI from the e-kit get recorded to the Studio One track?

In Studio One preferences > External Devices, click Edit for your device and take a screenshot of that dialog, please.

Hello!  When I have the HPD-20 as the input for a track, by dragging the instrument from the list of install external instruments, yes, the hits on the HPD-20 do show up in the track’s recording.  No sound, however, since it’s not associated with a sound library.  Instead of dragging the HPD-20 to the grid and creating a new track for it, from the instructions for SO5, I’m to drag Superior Drummer from the external instrument list, and automatically create the track and channels.  But the HPD-20 doesn’t show up as an input for the track.  However, I have the HPD-20 sending MIDI on the same channel that Superior Drummer is configured to listen.  I’m using MIDI channel 1.

Here’s the screenshot you requested:

In the screenshot you have an “Instrument” device. Click “Add…” and select “New Keyboard”. Set “Receive From” to “HPD-20” and click OK (and remove the old Instrument device).
