Thank you, I will give those a look!

[Nayland]

I appreciate your assistance, but part of the problem is that I don’t know what kind of drum part would work best. Can’t you make a recommendation based on the bass part?

[Nayland]

Yes, I can do that…what format do you want the midi file in?

[Nayland]

Hello John,

That seems to have taken care of the problem. I was able to launch the Percussion module and add the serial number to authorize it. I loaded a song that already had a percussion track and everything sounds ok.

Thanks for all your help!

Unfortunately, there are still errors:

Thanks John, it’s much appreciated.

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…

Hello, and thanks for your assistance. The installer executable is only a few MB:

However, the install folder is about 700MB:

As you mentioned, I don’t see any EZX updates, be they LP-specific or general purpose. I may try a thorough uninstall of all EZDrummer items, including registry entries; but if there are any alternatives, I’d rather go that way.

edit: also, this is on a solid state drive, but I don’t think that should make too much of a difference – especially as the other EZDrummer stuff is on the same drive. The only thing different about the Latin Percussion module is that it came from a download, whereas EZDrummer and Americana were from install disks.

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?

Well, if I understand your terminology correctly, then Latin Percussion and Americana and Funkmasters (etc.) are all a form of EZX. And apparently there’s a 1.21 update for EZX that I missed, thanks for that. When I get home from work, I’ll look for this update.

However, I’m a bit mystified – if the problem is that I can’t install the EZX itself, then it doesn’t seem to make sense to install the update afterwards. Could you explain?

[Nayland]

I have the full version of EZDrummer installed and patched up to 1.3.3. For the sake of troubleshooting, I just re-downloaded the Latin Percussion file and ran the install, but the same error occurs.
