    So I have downloaded the latest midipack from sistasite.

    when I unzip i have a folder "Database" , and in that, a lot of folders named
    "000829@acoustic_pop" , "000829@americana" ...and so on.

    Inside of those folders ,are only one file named "midiDB"


    I´ve tried to put the complete folder "Database" to:

    C:\ProgramData\Toontrack\EZkeys 2\
    also to:
    C:\Users\yourname\Documents\Toontrack\EZkeys 2\User MIDI
    and to:
    C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Toontrack\EZkeys 2

    then started EZkeys2 ,tried "Add linked Folder" and "rebuild database"
    -nothing appears , nothing happens.

    I succesfully installed, -a while ago- ,the fusion, new wave and singer songwriter pack,uk pop
    -but i think those were with installers.?

    Im kinda lost now. I have googled and tubed the subject.
    Where do "midiDB" -files go ?
    Could anyone help , please ?
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Install Instructionsfrom the midipack:
    Installation: Complete replacement of the contents of your MIDI folder
    By default the MIDI folder is located:
    for WINDOWS - C:/ProgramData/Toontrack/EZkeys/
    for MacOSX - /Library/Application Support/EZkeys/
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I did not have a folder named "midi" , so I created one and put "database" there.- added to linked folder and rebuild database. no luck.

    Kind regards,

    Hello @Beetlejuice, it's best to uninstall this version and delete all remaining files and install this version:

    Toontrack EZkeys v2.1.1.CE - V.R

    I just installed it and it looks like this:


    C:\ProgramData\Toontrack

    SUBFOLDER 1:
    C:\ProgramData\Toontrack\EZkeys
    Subfolder
    C:\ProgramData\Toontrack\EZkeys\EZK2-SessionOrgan
    C:\ProgramData\Toontrack\EZkeys\MIDI

    SUBFOLDER 2:
    C:\ProgramData\Toontrack\EZkeys 2
    Subfolder
    C:\ProgramData\Toontrack\EZkeys 2\Database

    USER FOLDER (for User MIDI & Presets)
    C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Toontrack
    SUBFOLDER
    C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Toontrack\EZkeys 2\Presets
    C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Toontrack\EZkeys 2\User MIDI

    Yes , Thankyou @Radio , that was a great update recommendation, now there´s a good file-pointer -tab. :like:
    Still some confusion with "thirdparty"-tab in Grooves window , because under Settings-Libraries/paths , there is no entry-box for to set a path.

    As for others who install the above Toontrack EZkeys v2.1.1.CE - V.R :

    The installation does not prompt you for the destination of the file : EZkeys 2.vst3
    It will write it most likely in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Toontrack
    My DAW didnt like that , so I moved it to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3
