Here’s a few references that i found.
I could probably find more if i wasn’t at work now…
In particular the [OPTIONS] section of the EZDrummer 3 manual
video – “Grooves” – Toontrack
as well as these other resources:

The SD3 DOWNLOAD location and SD3 INSTALLATION location are 2 different locations in the eyes of the installer,
even you put them on the same drive.

The Program Manager settings determine where the DOWNLOAD files are stored.
The Product installer will copy, expand or utilize the downloaded files to the INSTALLATION location.

Therefore, you will need to allocate twice the space required;
at least until the installation is completed after which the download files can be cleaned off the drive.

Thanks for reporting back in the forum how you solved it.
Your solution could very well help someone else…

There are essentially two methods of using Logic Pro X’s Drummer Track to control what EZDrummer plays…

1) convert Drummer Track regions to MIDI by [Option] dragging the Drummer track to an Instrument Track on which EZDrummer resides;  described here by Apple Support. 
This method allows tweaks to be made to the MIDI for fine-tuning & personalizing the performance.

or
2) [Shift]+[Option] drag Drummer Track regions to an Instrument Track on which EZDrummer resides.
described here by “Logic Pro for Smarties”
This method allows changes made on the Drummer Track to automatically & immediately affect changes to what EZDrummer plays.
Using Method #1 requires that changes made on the Drummer Track to be reconverted to MIDI, losing any tweaks made to the MIDI previously.

SuperiorDrummer3 Operation Manual – Section 9.4 “The View Menu”

There are two applicable settings in the “View” menu:
Scale: These options change the total size of the Superior Drummer 3 interface. Its extremely useful if you have a very small laptop screen and need to make the entire interface smaller, or if you have a large screens and would like to see a larger scaled interface.
Size: Here you can choose one of the preset sizes for the Superior Drummer 3 window, or create a custom window size. Note: when creating videos with Superior Drummer 3 the 1080p option is very convenient!

as well as:
Set to Minimum Size and Scale: Choosing this option will change the size and scale of the SD3 window to the smallest possible option.
Reset to Default Size and Scale: Changes both the scale, size, and proportions of the window back to the default.

EZDrummer2

EZBass & EZKeys
https://www.toontrack.com/faq/can-i-relocate-the-ezbass-sound-library-folder-to-my-external-drive/

I very recently moved all of my EZ libraries (EZKeys, EZBass & EZDrummer2) to an external drive.

EZDrummer2 & EZBass libraries were recognized by the standalone apps, the plugins ( and the Product Manager)
simply by browsing to the new library location within the product itself when prompted.
(I had to move them first & delete them from the old location.)

Following the same procedure within EZKeys did not seem to affect the same response.
My solution was to download and install one of my previously installed EZKeys libraries
(even though I had already installed & moved it to the new location).
This effectively seemed to affect the change for ALL of my other EZKeys library expansions & MIDI expansions.

[Scott Eshleman]

from Page 13 of the EZKeys Operation Manual:


To do so, select the block and click ‘Use Browser MIDI’ above the Song Track.
Any variation you select in the MIDI Browser from then on with take the place of that block,
allowing you to find the best transition from one song section to the next.
Once you have found a MIDI variation that you would like to use for that section,
simply click the ‘Replace’ button and the block will be populated by the MIDI phrasing last previewed.

I tried with a keyboard and a a midi pad. Same issue.

This happens only when using the tap2find.

Recording a track using Ezdrummer as instrument works as expected. So with any other vst instruments I have.

Reading the forum is something happening to others recently.

Yep, as you’ve noted that this issue has appeared elsewhere in the forum

FYI!

I have the same problem and contacted support.

They replied to me:

“Thanks for your email and sorry for the trouble. This is a confirmed bug in the current version of EZD2. A fix will be made available in the next EZD2 update, however we do not have the confirmed release date. The Product Manager will display the new update as “not installed” to the left of the PM once it is available.”

I believe that a recent Pro Tools update made AUX tracks ‘solo-safe’ by default when created.

To toggle the ‘solo-safe’ status of any track, ON or OFF,
hold the [CMD](Mac) / [Cntrl](PC) key and click the ‘Solo’ button of that track.

sorry for the delayed response. I’m got called away for a second.

sorry, I just looked at the screenshot in your original post…
The AUX tracks ‘solo-safed’ and therefore,
they would not be muted if any other track were soloed.

I believe that a recent Pro Tools update made AUX tracks ‘solo-safe’ by default when created.

[Scott Eshleman]

I assume that what you’re hearing is ‘bleed’ of the other kit pieces
into the mic that you’re soloing.

You can change the location to which downloads are saved
in the Product Manager’s [PREFERENCES].

maybe you’ll find what you’re looking for in
