Suddenly EZDrummer 3 does not appear as an instrument in LUNA

[Lennart Brusved]

I have used EZDrummer 3 some time now but today when open a new project in LUNA I could no longer choose EZDrummer 3 as a MIDI instrument.  The only plugin available is my older EZDrummer (ver 2) and Superior Drummer.
When open an older project it still contains EZDrummer 3 and it runs ok. Trying to add another EZDrummer 3 in the same project however will not work. Again only the older EZDrummer and Superior Drummer appears. What’s rally strange is that I can add it as an INSERT. See screenshot.

I have restarted the computer and LUNA several times but still no EZDrummer 3 available among the instruments

In Logic Pro X it still works so the plugin is ok. It’s just in LUNA it doesn’t appear.
I have attached three small screenshots. The first one taken from LUNA where EZD3 is missing and the second one from Logic where it still available. The third one showing that it’s  available as an insert in LUNA.

EZdrummer version: 3.0.6
Operating system: macOS Monterey (12)

Found how to reset the plugin references in LUNA on Universal Audio webpage and have tried that two times without any success.

Here what they say you must do:
Resetting LUNA Preferences
LUNA preference files are used to save global LUNA system settings. To make sure these are not corrupted, delete the files below from ~/Library .

Note: To access ~/Library (which is hidden by the OS), hold down the Option key on your keyboard while accessing the Go menu in the macOS Finder (in the Menu Bar at top of screen when Finder is in the foreground). When Option is pressed, “Library” becomes visible in the menu so the hidden location can be opened.

Folder: ~/Library/Application Support/Universal Audio/workspace
File: AUPlug-Ins.json

Folder: ~/Library/Preferences
File: com.uaudio.luna.plist

Folder: ~/Library/Preferences/Universal Audio
File: LUNAprefs.json

Once deleted, empty the Trash on your Mac, and re-launch LUNA.

Done that twice. One time also with a restart of my computer before starting up LUNA again. Doesn’t help. Someone else had this problem?

 

EZdrummer version: 3.0.6
Operating system: macOS Monterey (12)

Here’s how to solve it right now.
Universal Audios support team is looking in to this.
Meantime it’s just to do a drag/drop from the INSERTS to INSTRUMENT in Luna and it will continue working as usual.
Closing this thread.
