Hi Scott,, I did read and followed his above post,,

My situation was a little different, possibly..

I had the same midi alert, which we really can’t pass… I re-ran after renaming that file, then as well, again with renaming the “Database Folder”.

Neither fixed it for me, so I reverted to original names, and removed the additional created folder, file,,,

The reason I think mine is different is I went from EZD1 upgrade to EZD2. I lost my library drive and the backup, lol,,
Not being able to get pass the EZD2 missing Library folder, since the location folder existed, but no data to recognize, it wouldn’t accept the location.
I downloaded the EZD2 install and extracted, created the location on the new drive and copied the EZDHOME Folder to it.
Then I ran the same already installed EZD2 application, which gave me the same can’t find library,,, But this time, there was data to accept,,,
This allowed me to reinstall my EZX’s to desired location…

Now, That is where I got the midi alert,,, when running the application again.

Searched, found this forum, left this page up,,,,
Looked elsewhere and still found nothing solid…

So, I thought, I will reinstall the EZD2 software, and still got this midi alert… and noticed I did not have the Pads, shaker, tambourine, and claps on the upper right of the main Tab…

So I downloaded the EZD1 and fresh download of EZD2,,, uninstalled, EZD1 and 2 along with the updater app,, (and the Solo app)a
Installed in sequence the EZD1, it’s updates by date, oldest first.
Then through to EZD2 the same procedure…

No Midi alert this time and I had the Pads Shaker, Tambourine, and Claps back on the upper right as well,,,
So I ran the “Check for Updates from the menu, and oddly enough it showed that Rock/Pop file 152 (1.5.2) was the only thing not installed,,,
I reran that installer, and all is well,,,

I have not used the Product Manager which some may find very useful,,, I’m old school and like to do installs myself…

Hope somehow this helps,
if not and you guys find it not relevant, let me know and I’ll remove it to stay on task of the OP,,,

Thanks, have fun 😀

WOW !!! Nice reply Michael !!!

I have looked everywhere for this info, lol… Maybe the reason it’s not stated anywhere is because none of the above are an issue, lol

Although for example the Tom’s in some are all on the same mixer channel and stereo,,, I will see if I can figure a way to pull them into Studio separately,, Maybe pan and assign to it’s own track in studio one ?

This is really helpful,,, I was a little disappointed with the sales rep from my place of purchase as I went into detail how I wanted every drum on it’s own track and allow complete control of its mix quality… Which I would have chosen the SD2 if knowing this, as it was only $30 more because it was on sale, lol..
I guess it’s live and learn, I am new to ToonTracks.
EZD2 seems to be a great Product and can’t wait to dive in and make it mine

Hi, in researching prior to update, and I am new to EZD2 ,,, I found this update and wondered if this fixed the “first beat ” issue.

IMPORTANT: the current version is EZdrummer 2.0.1

Oh. one more thing,,, I don’t see anywhere that I should uninstall EZD before installing EZD2,,, but should I uninstall EZD first, would this cause conflict or will the install recognize earlier version and perform required removal ?

Hmm,,, I went to my DAW site ( Presonus Studio One 2 Professional ) and seeing posts that EZD2 is having an issue working as a plugin ?

At the time I purchased EZD2, I could have gotten SD for $30 more than EZD with the EZD2 upgrade. in May ’14… lol
I was influenced by the sales guy, great guy but I saw EZD2 worked within studio one 2 as a plugin. Seems dropping each drum is an issue onto a DAW track. And the only way it’s working is as a wave file or midi ?
I thought recording in the DAW with separate tracks to each drum and mix output of EZD2 into DAW as a plugin was what this is all about ?

Should I post to a new forum title ? Man I feel like a total noob now,,, lol
