My understanding is that EZMix2 will run all the mix-packs from EZMix1.

Don’t let me stop you from buying 2 (it is very good), but you should be able to download the EZMix1 install file from your account section of the Toontrack site.

…And of course EZMix2 has a whole new bunch of mix-packs to go with it

Looks like you’re installing the right thing.

I’m worrying that this might be an issue with your SSD.

Sorry, I meant the groove names/locations. What name has your DAW assigned to the MIDI item/clip that drives this sound (may look like it’s in code).

But leave the audio up so we can compare with what we get…

I’m not a programmer, but your log file looks like it’s updating rather that installing. I may have it round my neck, however, and log file messages like this are normal during installation.

I did initially think that you were trying to use the LP updater file instead of the actual installer first (as did John). Can you tell me how big the installer file is please? -that should settle whether you have the right file or not -the LP EZX installer is about 560MB.

It is always a good idea to make sure your EZDrummer plugin is fully up-to-date before installing EZX libraries as some of the later EZXs require recent EZD versions to function correctly. And as you hinted at above, make sure you fully extract the installer before running it, ie don’t run it directly from the zip.

Edit: I did think possible a permissions issue, but if you’ve tried to install as admin then I suppose not.

Actually, I cant see any LP updates, which is odd. I can’t update my DVD version if I reinstalled, I guess; I’ll have to download the newer full install. I do have two updaters in my archive, including the 1.2.1 version I think is current. I’m supposing TT have updated the install files, although it would be misleading to any people installing the LP EZX from DVD that there were no later versions. Over to you TT…

Can you give us an example groove that sounds like this please?

EZDrummer is the plugin, what you need to run the drum libraries.

Latin Percussion is the drum library, the EZX. Download with the red arrow link or install from DVD.

You install the EZX, and then you install the 1.21 update. This is from the bottom section of the web page that says they are “Software Updates”.

Does this make sense or are we at cross-purposes?

That’s a Hammond organ sound and has not been covered by EZKeys yet.

Please note that I am not speaking for TT here, but I don’t think the drawbar organ type will be a good one to translate into their sample-based keyboard engine, there are just too many variations and combinations of control to produce the range of sounds.

The keyboards emulated in their lineup have a small range of sounds enabling them to concentrate on getting the sound as close to the genuine article as possible rather than on thinly covering a wide palette of variations .

I would, of course like to be proven wrong, but I suspect they wouldn’t release a drwbar organ unless they could meet their own high quality threshold and their customers’ expectations.

What’s your music type? What type of mix-packs are you looking for?
