Startup midi error

[ChristopherDuncan]

After I bought EZ Drummer 2, I bought a bunch of the midi packs. I also bought Drumkit from Hell, and after that I bought Superior Drummer 3.

This has been going on a long time and I forget which purchase triggered it (I think it was after I bought Superior), but every time I start up, I get this dialog complaining that some midi packs need a later version of EZ to work. The first time I got this I made sure to update EZ and had the latest and greatest of everything, but the error message persists.

Can anyone shed some insight on this and tell me what I need to do to eliminate the error message?

Thanks!

What version number shows on the EZD2 interface?

I’ll look it up when I get back into the studio, but when this started happening it was the latest version with all possible updates applied.

If memory serves, I believe it started happening right after I installed Superior. Is there something about having both installed that would cause EZ to become confused like this? Or are there MIDI packs that work with EZ but not SD?

This all seems odd to me because MIDI is MIDI.

Okay, I just updated every aspect of EZ, and am still getting the same error message on startup. Version is showing in Cubase as 2.4, image attached.

No. That is the VST Plugin version, not the EZD2 version number. It is located on the bottom right corner of the EZD2 interface.

Hey, Scott.

Think I got it sorted. There was an older version of the dll in one of the Cubase paths, and for reasons passing understanding program files\common\vst3 wasn’t in the path. Added that, got rid of the old dll, and the message no longer appears. Here’s version info from the bottom right hand corner (thanks, I would have missed that).

Am I latest and greatest now?
