EZ drummer VST not found after upgrade from DP5.01 to 5.1

Post by EZbassist »

The VST instrument EZdrummer was lost after I upgraded. Uninstalling and reinstalling EZD had no effect DP5.1 still couldn't find it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I hate to state the obvious here but you're aware DP does not recognize VST instruments, right? You need to install an AU or MAS version of EZ Drummer. They may only have an AU version. I have DFHS and I can't remember offhand.

EZD does suport AU...

Post by EZbassist »

Doh! Yes you are correct. EZ drummer does support AU (probably what I meant to say)

I had it working before with DP501. Hmmmm I guess I need to know how AU fail to load ?

Thanks for your reply,

Post by EZbassist »

tried deleting the cache file but no change in behavior after DP loads all AUs and reports them being ok

Right after that this message shows up
"The following effects could not be found" listed is thwToontrack:EzDrummer
