Hi,

Catalina is finally out. After searching this forum, it seems that it is safe to upgrade. However, I would like to be sure that product manager, superior drummer 3, libraries, etc. are indeed compatible.

Is there some official statement?

 

Thanks,

 

Ramsés Morales.

To summarize Catalina compatibility:

The latest versions of Toontrack software that you have already installed should continue to work if you upgrade to Catalina (except if it’s some very old deprecated software that is 32-bit only). Just start the Toontrack Product Manager application (not the web version/page) before you upgrade to make sure all is up-to-date. Note that we can’t say if your DAWs or hardware drivers will work, only the Toontrack software.

Installers of Product Manager, SD3, SD2, EZmix 2, EZkeys, EZplayer pro, Toontrack solo, EZD1 and now also EZD2 all work. The Beatstation and EZmix 1 installers do not work.

Most of the content installers/uninstallers in download packages from the website – for EZXs, MIDI packs, EZmix packs, etc. – are not yet updated to be 64-bit so they won’t run, but those products can be installed/uninstalled if you do it through the Product Manager.

Before Jan 6, 2020, there was a problem with installing SDX libraries from the default download location as well as from and to external disks. MIDI packs, EZXs and sound library updates were also not possible to install to external disks. Those issues have been fixed – the new installers are used when you install through the Product Manager application.

The software uninstallers (to uninstall plug-ins and standalones) are still 32-bit, so if the need would arise, you can ask support for help to manually uninstall.

Hey Folks at Toontrack!

I just bought Superior Drummer 3 today. I can’t install the library/additional parts of the software on MacOS Catalina. And to be honest for 300 bucks I don’t want a workaround (that doesn’t work). I need a concrete answer for when the software is working as intended. Are you working on an update? Haven’t read a statement on that yet… And yes, the Toontrack Manager and everything is up to date!

Operating system: macOS Catalina (10.15)

Yes, we are working on an update for the sound installer. It’s not a quick and easy fix, unfortunately, so I can’t give any ETA.

If you want a working workaround or help to manually install the library (which is not very complicated), please contact support.

Just a note on the Roland compatibility – They now have 10.15 drivers for at least the TD-30 and TD-50 modules.

Hello

 

OS Catalina and newest SD2 updated via product manager (newest version) does not work with Logic on my end. It’s not even showing in AU validator tool even after i deleted the AU Cache file and rescanned everything.

 

Any help on that?

Operating system: macOS Catalina (10.15)

Hi Daniel,

you may have to reboot your Mac for all AU plugins to be recognised properly.

BR,
John

I just bought Superior Drummer 2 yesterday day. I can’t install the library/additional parts of the software on MacOS Catalina.

Hi Jeroen663,

have you checked out Olof’s replies in this thread (and others here on the Forum) on how to work around the Catalina Sound Installer issue?

Thank you very much.

I can’t read the link the link that was posted because it requires SD3, so getting my SD2 install to work isn’t happening. I had 2 windows machines crap out on me, so I moved to Mac, and now I can’t use the software at all. Very frustrating.

Toontrack will not install on Catalina.  They need to get it together. Or perhaps they could rebrand it as Inferior Uninstallable Drummer.

EZdrummer 2 – Pac Catalina 10.15.2 – This package is incompatible with this version of macOS.

Using the latest Product Manager 107.

Successfully installed Logic, Amplitube 4, Custom Shop, T-Racks, AXE/IO, Line 6 Helix … Yay!

Drum roll please … oh wait, no drum roll available as Toontrack EZdrummer 2 will not install … bummer no drummer.

It looks like you didn’t download EZD 2.1.8 until after you posted this. It is compatible with Catalina. By the way, lately you have been downloading directly from the website and not through the Product Manager application, not that it would make any difference for the EZD2 installer. But some content installers work better if launched from Product Manager instead of from Finder.
