Won't recognize EZdrummer 2 demo vst plugin.

[Cygnus]

Hey! Has anyone else had any luck here with the ezdrummer 2 demo? I've tried putting the plugin into all the different possible vst folders but MC6 just won't find it when scanning for plugins.

If anyone knows a solution just let me know.

You possibly need the 32bit VST rather than the 64bit VST(?)

Despite likely, these days, being installed on a Windows 64bit OS, MC6T is only 32bit and can only use/play 32bit VSTs.

Sonar can play either and has inbuilt BitBridge so 32bit VSTs can also play in 64bit Sonar mode.

there was only one .dll included in the demo, and I assume it is the vst plugin.

[Aztec]

VSTs come in 32bit and 64bit.They both have an extension of .dll and aren't always obvious by name. You usually get options on install of whether you want to install one or both, and where to.

First thing to do is establish that the EZD2 VST is 32bit.

This[www.toontrack.com]ToonTrack forum post suggests you gotta run the 32bit installer .....which, as an aside, is crazy 'cause you should install via the (installer) version pertinent to your OS (regardless of whether it has 32bit components - 64bit OS can play 32bit Apps). If that's the case then Toontrack have released it in a dodgey fashion IMHO.

Re the .dll - that's not necessaily the VST (I don't have EZD2 btw).

This[www.toontrack.com] note describes the default locations if you didn't modify them at install time. (Perhaps best to install VSTs to a common location anyway - less Scan paths and having to set that up).

[Aztec]

Also - see the note at the bottom of the install instructions[www.toontrack.com] ... but that's standard.

--------------

**** Please note: In order to launch EZdrummer 2 as a plugin in your host sequencer you will need to either:

(1) Customize the EZdrummer 2 installation so that the VST plugin is installed directly to your hosts VST plugin folder, or

(2) use the Plugin manager in your host sequencer to set the path to the EZdrummer 2 plug-in DLL file in its installed location. You can find the location of the EZdrummer 2 plugin at any time by launching the EZdrummer 2 stand alone application and clicking “Help” > “Show Plugin Path.”

Please do NOT manually move (or copy and paste) the DLL file. This WILL cause problems with future updates.

I didn't modify the VST install location, I however added the VST install location to my VST paths like I should (I have done this previously with Guitar Rig 5 so I know what I'm doing this far), MC6 only supporting 32bit plugins is new information for me tho, so ty for that!
