No, you’re not unlucky and it’s not a bug…just an enhancement to the Toontrack MIDI.
They’ve added tags to all of their MIDI that enables Tap2Find and the Search tab filtering.
So, call it a limitation of the 3rd-party MIDI, of which I too own a lot that I can’t find with Tap2Find.

There was talk of developing an algorithm to detect and tag 3rd-party MIDI
but I can’t imagine that they wouldn’t have developed such a thing during the tagging of their own MIDI.
Joke was that some poor bastard was locked away tagging the Toontrack MIDI ’til the eve of EZDrummer2’s release.

This may or may not work:
Try copying the MIDI, pasting only the Sidestick to a blank area of the timeline.
Then try increasing the Velocity of this particular section of MIDI.
Finally, copy and paste it back into the original MIDI groove.
Please let me know if that works. You may have to do it in sections.

[Scott Eshleman]

Just a word of caution, before you get too deep into 3rd-party MIDI (like I have),
please remember that the [Search] tab filtering and ‘Tap2Find’ functions don’t currently work with 3rd-party MIDI.

Secondly, doesn’t the 3rd-party MIDI vendors from whom you are buying offer EZDrummer/SuperiorDrummer-formatted MIDI?
For example: OddGrooves, PlatinumSamples and GrooveMonkee – all offer Toontrack-formatted MIDI
(but, as I have personally found out, 3rd-party MIDI formatted for EZD/SD is still not tagged for the afore-mentioned EZDrummer2 features).

Thanks! I got it now!
How I learned to set up EZplayer in Cubase

1. First of all: Install the right update of EZplayer. For 64 bit version in the computer, install the update vesrsion of 64 bit EZplayer (update downloadable at Toontrack webpage at “My Products”, – meaning; your products). Othervise it won´t work. (For 32 bit version in the computer, install the update version: 32 bit of EZplayer).

2. In Cubase: Press F11, to set up EZplayer
3. In Cubase: Press F11, to set up Superior Drummer
4. In Cubase: Set the routings on track named Superior Drummer –
(set input routing to: 1-Ezplayer – Midi Out) & (set output to: 1-Ezplayer – Midi Out).
5. In Cubase: On the track named: Superior drummer: Set the monitor ON
6. Choose a groove in EZplayer, and it play, hurray

(This goes for Superior Drummer too).

P.S.

There is a difference between “Registering a Product Serial Number” and “Authorizing a New Implementation”.
— You’ve already registered the product’s Serial Number.
— You may or may not have to use another authorization to run EZDrummer and your EZX expansions.

thanks for the replies guys but this still doesn’t work

I have EZ drummer and EZdrummer 2 and my platform is Logic Pro x so it is already updated

I tried the system pref option – again nothing

Any other thoughts??

how are you running both EZDrummer and EZDrummer2 on the same MAC??
I suspect therein lies the heart of your issues…what MAC OS and MAC hardware are you using?

I have heard that has been troublesome for other (Windows) users and definitely not recommended,
but I’ve not seen this possible on MAC.

I suggest that you uninstall EZDrummer 1. EZDrummer 2 makes it obsolete anyway.

You haven’t provided any of your system details or the exact details of the error presented to you,
so I’ll venture another solution suggested in another thread by another member of the forum.
Maybe one of these suggestions will help you…

Problem solved. Apparently you need to make sure that your system allows downloads from 3rd party host.
For that you need to go to System Preferences, Security and activate the anywhere button.
Thanks for the help.

to access the updates for your EZX expansions not shown by default on the My Products page,
users may have to click on the “Show ALL EZDrummer Products”

[Scott Eshleman]

Log into your Toontrack account online and click “My Products“.
( https://www.toontrack.com/my-products/ )

Click on your EZDrummer2 icon and then click on “UPDATES”
Download and install the updates available for your product.

[Scott Eshleman]

or maybe your difficulty lies with simultaneously dragging ALL of song blocks out of EZDrummer2 into an instrument track of your host (Pro Tools).

Choose “Select All” from the dropdown menu above the EZDrummer2 Timeline.

Or, click, hold & drag your mouse across those individual song blocks in the timeline that you wish to put into the instrument track within Pro Tools.

[Scott Eshleman]

or, you can click the “Follow Host” button below the EZDrummer2 song timeline and leave your song blocks in EZDrummer2 for continuing ‘refinement’.

Confirmed.
I just downloaded it twice…
and both times, I got the same error that you did.

EDIT: tested MAC version only
