Hi,

which DAW are you using? Is this happening in one particular project or all? Would it be possible for you to zip such a project and attach to a post here (without any audio files)?

John

Hi Brad,

as has been mentioned several times in this thread; the “issue” is about understanding that having plug-ins that induce latency in the same Session/Project may affect something like the visual feedback in a plug-in like SD3 but not exclusively Toontrack plug-ins. If I see this happening in e.g. SD3, I see this in other plug-ins in the same Session/Project.

If I am bothered about it, I disable/de-activate latency inducing plug-ins while working with the MIDI in SD3, then enable/activate them again when done.

Should you however experience this in a Session/Project where there are no other plug-ins, then please reply with specs on your environment; computer, OS, DAW, version, etc. along with a saved Session/Project where this happens.

BR,
John

Hi,

as Jack suggests, it will be much easier for you to download/install/authorise with the Product Manager application, so please download and install it.
https://www.toontrack.com/product-manager/

If a library is installed that isn’t authorised, you will be presented with the login window in SD3 when you try to load it. Duality is an EZX.
You should see which ones in the Product Manager.

To properly uninstall products you do not have licenses for, you will have to download the installer packages for them, then run the Uninstaller from the Product Manager.
Alternatively, you can delete the contents of C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Toontrack\EZDrummer and then re-install any EZdrummer EZX and Toontrack MIDI you do have licenses for. This may still leave references to products you do not have licenses for but *shouldn’t* pose any problems.

John

I’ve been trying to use the grid editor but some notes like edge, off center, rim only, flam and closed roll are not midi map how do I activate it so that I can use those notes on the grid editor?

Hi Michael,

which preset are you starting from? It seems a bit strange that all of those are not mapped. If you have started by loading articulations not included in the preset you’re starting from, it’s not strange that they are unmapped. I would simply open the MIDI Mapping Property Box on the DRUMS page and with the articulation in question selected, click on the small “hamburger” menu to the right of the articulation name and ‘Add suggested note’.

Hi,

I have no problem running EZD3 in LUNA here but I’m on Sonoma.
You could try to delete the AU cache and the LUNA preferences if your ‘EZdrummer 3.component’ is in the /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ folder and it isn’t showing up.

To Delete the AU cache, please close all applications and delete:

Folder: /Users/yourname/Library/Caches//AudioUnitCache/
File: com.apple.audiounits.cache

Please know that the User library folder is hidden on Mac OSX 10.7 and above. To access the user library folder on 10.7 and above click (from the finder menu at the top of the screen) Go > Go To folder > Then type in: ~/Library

To reset preferences from LUNA, delete the files below from ~/Library .
Folder: ~/Library/Application Support/Universal Audio/workspace/plugin_cache/
File: AUPlug-Ins.json
Folder: ~/Library/Preferences/
File: com.uaudio.luna.plist
Folder: ~/Library/Preferences/Universal Audio/
File: LUNAprefs.json

After you have deleted files above, please reboot your Mac before launching LUNA again.

BR,
John

Hi Joe,

Jack is right, this is not possible.

Hi,

the libraries that can be installed in parts, e.g. the Core Library, Death & Darkness, Orchestral, etc should be installed that way. They are divided into library or microphone/bleed parts and shouldn’t be manually edited. You can not choose to remove specific instruments, like e.g. Snares you tend not to use.
Having said that, I have posted earlier about removing the already installed Surround and Extra Bleed parts from the Core Library here:

Well,

if I knew, I still couldn’t tell you;-) NDA’s n’ stuff. What I do know is that stuff that gets requested by many users, tends to find its way into the software, if it is feasible.

I copied the file contents to a new midi folder, and it seems to be working now, but there is still a duplicate pair of those 2 sets with exclamation points and unavailable.

Hi,
exactly what did you do?
Manually changing stuff in the folder structure may break functionality and updates.

Hi,

any instrument you load in another position than its “native” in SD3 will get an even more generic picture than the black shells, more like an e-drum.
I.e. this particular Rack Tom is an odd bird, since it is a Rack Tom that has its native position in the Floor Tom slot.

Hi,

in EZdrummer 3, you cannot control articulations individually, lowering or raising the volume would be for the entire instrument. This would be done in EZD3 by clicking the Hi-Hat on the Drums page and then move the volume knob in the upper left corner. This volume knob controls the volume for the instrument, while the fader on the Mixer page controls the microphone/mixer channel volume.

In Superior Drummer 3 you can control articulations individually, should you want to, by first clicking the instrument (e.g. Hi-Hat) on the Drums page, then selecting the articulation in question in the articulation list in the upper right corner of the plug-in, followed by adjusting the slider in the Level Property Box.

Another option is of course to adjust the velocity for any hits you feel stand out in your arrangement.

Selecting articulations for the Hi-Hat from different instruments and libraries is not possible but could possibly be achieved by some advanced Stacking in SD3. I wouldn’t recommend it, though. It would probably not sound natural and involve a lot of work.

John
