Hi Scott

I got a reply from the Tech at PreSonous. Apparently all 3rd party dll files have to go in the C:/ProgramFiles/VSTPlugins folder. This would mean moving or copying the EZdrummer dll from its current location.

Would this work without having to do a full re-install? I suppose what I mean is, is there a way to change the filepath from EZdrummer to the new dll location. Many thanks for your help with this issue. Tony

No. You can’t move the .dll without breaking future updates. I recommend uninstalling from the Programs and Features in Windows. Then run the installer and do a custom install to that VST folder.

If you only have one ezx and one midi pack, you can uninstall everything and reinstall them after you make sure Studio One loads EZD2 correctly.

Hi Scott

Thanks for the quick reply. Funnily enough the .dll file hadn’t installed the first time, as I found out when I went back to the Installation Manager.

With the first install I had wanted to change the path to the Studio One Plugin folder. Ironically, I did this because I’d read on a few forums St1 could be temperamental with 3rd party plugins, and the advice was to choose this filepath for the VST. So, I re-installed it and the filepath is

C:/programfiles/PreSonous/Studio One 5/Plugins   –

the .dll file is in there now and St1 seems to be able to see it, because the icon shows up in the Instruments Vst2 Folder on the St1 song page. The trouble is when I drag it to an empty track nothing happens! Doesn’t load or launch, no drum graphic, zilch.

I’m wondering whether I should have created an EZD2 Folder in the Presonous Plugins Folder? The other couple of 3rdparty instruments in there have there own folders, whilst the EZdrummer.dll is just in a list in the general folder along with PreSonous stuff like Ampire.dll. I think this may be the source of the problem.

I’ve posted on the PreSonous forum but no reply so far. I think I may have to uninstall and re-install everything, as some seemed to have success after doing this. The idea this time will be to just follow the default filepath to the Toontrack folder and point St1 at that.  Can you advise if you think this is a good idea? Also I got a free EZX extension and a Midi drumpack. Should I uninstall these also?

Sorry about the long message, but I’m pretty confused.

Cheers

I don’t have any experience with Studio One so I can’t comment on how finicky the plugin path settings are.

Yes, you can try to uninstall and use the default install path and then set the path in Studio One. It should work the way you have it now I would think. Does Product Manager show any updates? Have you tried rebooting the computer before trying anything else?

Hello

I’ve just bought and installed EZDrummer 2 (64-bit). I also installed the updates as well as my free EZX extension and a Midi pack I bought in the same purchase.

I’m running Studio One 5 latest update. When installing I changed the filepath so that EZDrummer VST would install in the Presonous Plugins folder.

However, I couldn’t find it through Studio One’s “add audio devices”. So I checked with Windows Explorer and, sure enough, the VST is not in the Plugins folder, nor anywhere else that I can find. The Standalone is in the Toontrack folder, but I bought this software specifically to use in my DAW.

Can anyone tell me what to try? Should I uninstall and then re-install everything? I’m a bit of a novice with this technology so any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

If you run the EZD2 Standalone, what is the plugin path indicated from the “?” Menu? Set that path in Studio One.

Yes. It is a known bug that is being fixed for the next update. No ETA however.

All feature requests are noted by Toontrack. Toontrack never comments on future releases or features that may or may not be included in future releases.

I have no development secrets about future releases. And I couldn’t say if I did due to an NDA anyway.

Having said that, I agree with all that you point out that needs updating.

I believe their refund policy is for software that hasn’t been installed so if you purchased and installed, used it and didn’t like it, you wouldn’t be allowed to return. You could resell it however.

Are there any plans to update it?

 

Its been requested so I’m sure the developers are aware.

No, it doesn’t. Editing would have to be done in the DAW like with EZD2.

You ordered on 10.19.21: Jazz Ballads EZkeys MIDI

You ordered on 10.20.21: Jazz Drum MIDI (THIS IS DRUM MIDI NOT EZKEYS MIDI)!

You ordered Today: Jazz EZkeys MIDI 

Both of the EZkeys MIDI packs appear in your screenshot of the EZkeys browser that you posted above.

The Jazz Drum MIDI (see pic below) will appear in your EZD2 Drum MIDI browser. Again, this is NOT EZkeys MIDI. I’m not sure how much clearer I can be in my explanation.

EZD2 does not have a grid drum editor. You would need to edit in your DAW. There is a built-in MIDI editor in S3 however.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the ‘Try Now’ link – I was looking in the wrong place.

With regard to accessing the EZkeys forum, do you seriously think that registered users of other ToonTrack product are going to be pirating your software?

Have we not already shown that we are trustworthy by buying your other products?  I can not believe that you still suspect us of being potential thieves!

It would be respectful to the people who buy your products if they were permitted to look at all parts of the Toontrack forum and would be good for your business not to alienate and aggravate existing users.

By reading the reactions of other users we could make properly informed judgements as to whether or not we should buy a product. Why would you be afraid of that?

 

 

 

Personally, I’m not afraid of anything regarding the forum. I’m not the policy maker, just the forum moderator. You can contact Toontrack directly to discuss their forum policies.

Are you on EZbass 1.1.0? Do you get the same results if you update to the latest version 1.1.1?
