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.

I have downloaded and installed the midi packs and it says ready to use but I just couldn’t open it from the product manager. I don’t know what I’m missing but I couldn’t seem to access the pop punk, and reggae kits. I might be missing a step. I’m just honestly clueless.

Are you saying the MIDI packs aren’t showing in the MIDI Browser in EZD2? Can you clarify what you can’t access and where?

Hi,

 

Ok, thanks-where do I find the sound library folder?

I can’t open S2 so I can’t change from there/Mats

In Product Manager, click Show Details for an SDX and then you see its path in the Installation Info tab.

I feel so stupid. I see it now. Thanks for your help.

Hi,

 

Ok, thanks.

I tried to rename, no change.

I moved and deleted files but still no change.

My Logic can’t find Superior.

Can you please give me a link to the right version of Superior 2 for Catalina, also, can’t choose uninstall of

Superior 2 in the Product Manager.

 

Thanks, Mats
