The USB2 connection could be the “bottleneck”, slowing up the back-and-forth communication.
I seem to recall that USB2 is not simultaneous bi-directional communication.
I do not think that it can communicate back-and-forth between your interface and your communication simultaneously,
like Firewire & Thunderbolt communication protocols do.

You can change the Downloads folder in Product Manager as John suggested above.

Tip #1. The drive must be connected before opening Product Manager.
Tip #2. I believe that you probably have to cancel any existing, incomplete downloads before attempting to change the download location.

Probably forgetting something and some other tips to changing the download location may be necessary.
That’s all that I can recall from my own experience at the moment.

So, now I am downloading the Superior Drummer 3 and all the sounds.
I want to move all my sound files and midi libraries to an external hard drive instead of filling up my local drive.
What is the best way to do this? Should I move the folders and just make an alias of them or is there a better way?
I think I did something similar years ago, but I forgot what I did. Would be nice to have everything on the same external drive.

Both, pieces I added in my DAW and added hits here and there.

As Henrik has said, “it doesn’t matter where you have the MIDI…“
if EZD2 is the instrument that is playing the MDI editted & hosted in your DAW
then the multi-output routing configured in the EZD2 mixer will apply.

Obviously, the kit pieces & MIDI not played by an instance of EZD2 will not be routed through the EZD2 mixer,
but you could bus the multiple EZD2 outputs and those ‘extra’ kit pieces played
by another instrument to a shared AUX to mix them blended.

Please clarify,

@Ibex said:
… because those parts are not in EZD2.

By ‘parts’, do you mean additional kit pieces not played by EZD2,
or do you mean MIDI ‘hits’ that you’ve added?

If you press REC in SD3 and play it in your host so that it gets recorded,
much like you would have done in SD2, then it should work.

The E-drum MIDI transform works on incoming MIDI. The MIDI track
in SD3, sort of, sits inside of it. If you import your MIDI directly into
the track in SD3 it doesn’t get applied.  

SD3 is so cool.
Just saying.

Thanks.

I have HP computer with Windows 10 and Intel core i5-6400 2,70 ghz. processor. I download demo of ez drummer 2 and had error trying to unzip. is my computer powerful enough?  

In a word…
Probably.

The real question is probably whether or not you have enough disk space to unzip the download.
What error are you getting?
Maybe the download was corrupted or incomplete.
Perhaps you could delete the 1st download and try again.

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.“
