I’m not in the studio right now or I’d post a current screenshot.
Perhaps this Toontrack FAQ will help:

https://www.toontrack.com/faq/how-do-i-open-ezdrummer-in-logic/

“The text and pictures in this FAQ explains how to open EZdrummer in Logic 9,
but it works the exact same way with Superior Drummer 2,
Beatstation or any other virtual sampler from Toontrack.

First open a new session and create a Software Instrument track.
Please go to the channel strip on your bottom left, where among others your I/O, Inserts and Sends show.
The track will probably open with a one of Logic’s own instruments..

Click and hold beneath the I/O button (on EVP88 in this case) to bring up a number of submenus.

Now please click to AU Instruments – Toontrack – EZdrummer – Stereo.
EZdrummer will now be inserted in your Logic session.
If you are to drag any MIDI files from the MIDI browser inside EZdrummer (or from Finder)
please note that you need to drag it to the same track as EZdrummer is inserted on.“

There is a demo available for EZKeys. Give it a try.
I can try it myself later and give you an answer,
but I’ve only ever dealt with changing chord & chord inversions within EZKeys.

After years of computing-related experience; I offer:

Technology Suggestion #1: Never, ever do a major operating system upgrade (Windows or Mac) without first checking compatibility
of your critical hardware, peripherals, software programs & plugins.

Technology Suggestion #2: After an initial roll-out of an OS upgrade, if you cannot document, diagnose and/or resolve any issues that may arise, it is often best to wait & allow others to bear that responsibility. Even the most diligent testing is unlikely to expose every issue that a much larger user base will uncover once an upgrade is released to the public.

Technology Suggestion #3: When cleared to proceed with aforementioned upgrades,
it is still best to do so with caution and a watchful observance of any ‘unexpected consequences’.

Thank you all for your responses. I just ordered a 1 TB SSD portable drive. Can’t wait to give this a go!  

cool. what drive did you get? I’ve been shopping for one, too.
Running a Mac, so I prefer a Thunderbolt-capable drive,
but curious about what you had decided on.

QUESTION – so does Product Manager act as a back up repository? where I can reload the sound data, should my drive or computer become corrupt and I need to get the actual sounds again..
Thanx..Mark  

I posted this response in the other thread in which you posted a similar question”

As a Toontrack user for a number of years,
Product Manager lists EZDrummer1 among my products with the installation & update files from 2014.
Other EZX and SDX product downloads released in 2014, 2015, 2015 & 2017 are listed.
And this includes products for which I had originally received on CD or DVD. (Roots, MetalHeads, etc)
As a test for you, I just downloaded them….successfully.
At this time, I received no warning, no download restriction or no limit.

Product manager wants to delete the original download block (each pretty sizable).. Once the SD3 drums are installed you don’t need the original downloads. (they state you you can download them later if you have to re-install.. (of course that takes time)..

I’m going to ask this as a separate post.. Drive space is tight.. and I would rather have the 250 gig drive space, if I can always re-download the data again..

IK Multimedia has this really slimmed policy, which they down’ make real clear.. you’re supposed to keep your downloads cause after 6 months they are going to charge you $150 to download the data again.. Every other website, I own software too, lets me log on, and retrieve the sound data again (not authorizations though).. Which is more than fair, and allows us to have backups of our virtual instrument sounds (in the cloud)..  

I can comment in this way.
Product Manager still lists EZDrummer1 among my products with the installation & update files from 2014.
Other EZX and SDX product downloads released in 2014, 2015, 2015 & 2017 are listed.

Does the SD3 Upgrade work if I have SD2 Crossgrade from EZD2?  

Yes. The crossgrades speak only to licensing and your ability to purchase each product at a reduced crossgrade pricing.
Each crossgrade is a full product installation and does not require prior installation of the other licensed product(s).
