Will all of the kits that I’ve purchased show up and be usable in SD3?

thanks.

Yes, your Superior 2 SDX:s will work with Superior 3. If you get any EZdrummer 2 EZX:s, they will work too.

why ?
going back till EZD1 …
I kinda stopped buying more EzX some years ago and wait for SDX versions, makes no sense to pay twice.
An upgrade path EZX > SDX would bring in the money earlier for TT, plus pave the way for more SDX sales too, split expenses are easier to justify.

ymmv,

I believe as long as they have been updated to run in EZD2 they will be ok in SD3.

thanks Brad,
they should be current as of today.
I don’t mind a few extra DLs and library updates for such a major version upgrade – as long as they basically work and I don’t have to re-authorize 71 products offline all is good.

In fact, what I’m looking forward to most are the engine- and UI updates, the great new kits will be a nice mid-term boost.

Evil Drums SDX and EZD 1 kits do NOT load in SD3.
both are fine in SD2.
no updates for EZD 1 kits afaics, the Evil Drums 1.02 sound update does NOT solve the issue.

please fix !

The EZD1 kit should be listed as the Pop/Rock EZX and should have an update under that product. Does the Evil Drums not load at all or are you just referring to no new graphics? There are no new graphics for that SDX as it’s a Platinum Samples product but it should load generic graphics.

hello Scott,
thanks for your reply !
Both candidates show that overlay message “must be updated” that went away after installing the “sound updates” for all others.
These two (or 3,including Cocktail) don’t load at all.
I only have EZD1 in my account, no Pop/Rock EZX.
Evil Drums is @ sound update 1.02 which does not do the trick.

thanks,
Rhino

Hi Scott,

For me, Evil Drums does load up fine (with generic images, which isn’t an issue). However, the library doesn’t seem to show up in the options for adding X-drums or adding to stacks, which is very desirable.

Do you have any workaround for this (other than loading Evil Drums as the base library and adding everything else)?

Thanks,
Micah

ah, I see, so those floating gizmos are considered generic images ?
stunning, innovative design – will make a lasting impression on clients !
you’re right, so ED loads with these whatevers, but there’s still that unnerving popup when loading.
and you’re also correct – it does not show up in the kit piece browser.
May I suggest Toontrack & Platinum get together behind the scenes and fix this great library asap, should not be the end of the world, considering it’s the only 3rd party library, and it will make both parties look more professional …

Not even so little luck with EZD though, the drum kits are entirely absent, the Cocktail is in the list but shows the error overlay and then proceeds to nirvana.

thanks for pointing that out, Micah !
