Maybe you could try downloading EZ Drummer 1 and installing that and then installing Rock!.
On my Toontrack account I can still download EZ Drummer 1 so clearly it still exists to be supported - Rock! EZX seems to only have one version. But the other option is open if necessary - no problems with trust issues on my part. So they will get back to you probably after the weekend - a bummer to have to wait but it will be okay.
They got back to me in a couple of days with my query on why the new Pop/Rock EZX that comes with EZD2 did not work with Superior - to tell me they are fixing this with an update to Superior (2.4. But try the website for Toontrack and get on the forum/support. Guitar Gaz wrote:Hey if the worst comes to the worse I can go back in Time Machine and get the old version to you somehow.
Sorry you're going through this, James, nothing kills an anticipatory buzz than wasting half a day trying to get something to work. They do have quite a lot on their plate so can see how this might have slipped through the cracks. I can't imagine they'll go too long without fixing this as I'm quite sure your situation is not unique. I bought my version of Rock! just before EZDrummer 2 came out and it installed and worked fine, and worked/still works in Superior.
I know that's not proper channels, but I'm just not ready to fork over the $99 for the upgrade to EZD2 yet. I would be happy to let you log-in to my Toontrack account and verify for yourself that I'm a registered owner of EZX Rock.
If worst comes to worst we'll talk about the other option. Given that it's Friday, it might not be till Monday. I got an email confirming they received my inquiry, but they say in it that due to the launch of EZD2 it will take 24 to 48 hours to respond.
I already started a tech support ticket with Toontrack. It's the silly installer that is blocking it and perhaps it's not checking for the presence of SD2 and only for EZD2? I don't want to mess with trying to fool the installer here as the whole scheme of how Toontrack products find the samples if they're on a different drive makes me nervous. I figured at the very least it would work with Superior 2 which I already own. Hey if the worst comes to the worse I can go back in Time Machine and get the old version to you somehow. Its a bummer but I think they will sort it out for you - if you are a registered EZ Drummer 1 and Superior Drummer user they must be able to let you download the old version. So they should sort it out - the updated Rock! still works with Superior so not sure why it doesn't work for you. Guitar Gaz wrote:I got Rock! before the upgrade to EZ Drummer 2 - and of course it worked with EZ Drummer 1 - but the upgrade also entailed downloading a new version of Rock! - this should not have happened to you. You've been good this year! And the percentage of forum catfights is way, way down. then you'd be set and would not need another drum VI EVER!Īfter all, you OWE it to yourself. And you should grab Metal Machine and Rock Solid while they're still on sale. It's killer!! The new kits included are worth the price alone. It seemed as though I encountered a few legacy installs when I was upgrading recently.Īlthough.now you have the perfect excuse to upgrade to EZDrummer 2. I hope I do not have to update to EZ2 just to use this EZX.Įven though they just revamped their site, they might still have the prior version download available. even Superior Drummer 2? It really was not made clear at the retailer's site or anywhere else for that matter that this EZX would not work with either EZ1 or SD2. So am I right to understand that EZX Rock! is not compatible with either of my Toontrack products.
When I ran the EZX Rock! installer I got the following message: "Software Update Required - You need to upgrade your Toontrack software to the latest version before you can install this product."
I own and have installed on my Mac both EZ Drummer 1.3.3 and Superior Drummer 2.3.2. I saw no indication that it would not work with EZ Drummer 1. James Steele wrote:So there was a blowout sale on EZX Rock! and so I went ahead and jumped on it.
