Bear-Faced CowDoes it really matter Jack? The problem is a space issue anyways. Let’s not convolute the issue.

Bear-Faced CowMost DAWs have an option to disable tempo on importing MIDI. Or you may have advised Ableton to default to setting your project to the imported MIDI tempo. Either way check your settings in Ableton.

Thanked by: Jimi Jernström, John and Scott EshlemanBear-Faced CowThe path is correct. There is often some hidden system data which will often not be picked up by the Finder. This could be even more prevalent with Sequioa.
You should consider purchasing an external SSD and storing your Superior Drummer libraries on it.

Bear-Faced CowLet me start off by stating that the maps were intended to be used with Logic Pro 11 Session Player Drummers themselves and are tested for correctness solely in that context. The are checked regularly against both the Session Players and Apple’s help documentation as they reserve the rights to change their own mappings as they further develop their Session Players (which they have been doing).
Using them the way you are is not only a more tedious and difficult way of writing drum parts, but is only setting yourself up for errors as things change within Apple’s own environment. Not to mention that you are creating a nightmare of a management solution. All of this can easily be accomplished within the Grid Editor of EZ Drummer 3.
Not to mention that you can save all of your grooves independently of any project or DAW and use them at will in any project. Editing in EZ Drummer is also way faster than using the piano roll in Logic. Greater selection of articulations. Far more drum related tools. Not to mention, no mapping required. Highly suggest you look into using EZ Drummer for your groove creation and management. If you want to use the maps, it is best to use them as they were intended.
This is coming from a 35+ year Logic user as well as being a 45+ drum programmer.

Bear-Faced CowIn addition to Brad’s post, you might want to check your buffer size. Lower buffer sizes mean your system has to work harder.

Thanked by: BradBear-Faced CowIf your EZ Drummer user folder is within your Application Support folder, Spotlight won’t index it for searching. Mine is on my iCloud Drive.
As I said before, Logic doesn’t map to EZ Drummer. EZ Drummer maps to Logic via the session players. Considering that you stated in a different that you are using the piano roll (which is pretty much the hard way these days – you should look into the Grid Editor), there is no need for maps since you are entering the notes directly.
However you can find the latest maps here.

Thanked by: cyril blanc and Örjan BenzingerBear-Faced CowIt says right on the web page:
As for the maps, you already found one of my older posts regarding session player maps, which by other posts you probably don’t need.

Thanked by: rixa and Scott EshlemanBear-Faced CowYou don’t map Logic to EZ Drummer. It’s the other way around.
This is also an old set. Newer posts contain updated maps with the EDrumPresets folder that you drop into your EZ Drummer user area as indicated in your settings.

Bear-Faced CowAs previously mentioned, EZ Drummer expansions have to be on the same drive. And no, reinstalling on the same computer doesn’t cost an auth. I’ve done it many times. Even if there was an auth issue, the ToonTrack team have always been more than helpful.

Bear-Faced CowIf you are referring to the session players in logic Pro 11, I have posted a set of maps for EZ Drummer 3 to this forum. You should be able to find them using the search bar.
jord
Bear-Faced CowThey are EZXs. They have to be on the same drive.
Wondering if this may have been a remnant of a database issue that happened last year.
jord
Bear-Faced CowIt would be in the help menu as Mick stated.
Your methodology doesn’t make sense to me and it sounds like you’re doing things in a rather 1990s fashion especially when certain tools such as the grid editor in EZ Drummer 3 better facilitate rapid drum programming
