OK. I've done all I can. It is installedin the correct folder, programs files/vstplugins I can open and play some drum hits but I went to preferences and rescanned all my folders in X1 and cannot find it. I can take the browser back to C:\Program files\Vstplugins and can find it that way, but cannot drag/dropit in anywhere. It does not show up in the browser any other way. I am sure that this is a combination of a corrupt file and user erorrorreer... I sent an emal to TT support. I wil wait to see if they can help before I delete it and forget it... heck, I don't need it. I have Session Drummer and I have more Acid loops than Sony does... I just cannot stand it that I can't make it work... and I am still not sure why Pentagon 1 won't work. Is there something I shuld be doing to make P1 work or should I just deete it. I am not even sure if I have ever used it. pffffft
I should be playing with Amplitude 3 instead of obsessing on some drum lite program I probably dont even need.
Sorry..

just as an fyi... I use superior drummer, and it is incredible.  IF you can get things going, their full bore programs are really something.  GOOD LUCK if you give it anymore tries.  It truely is a great program.

I don't know why it's not working for you.  do you have the 32 bit sonar installed on your system?  you could try installing sonar 32, scan for it and see if it works there.  maybe the lite version is only 32bit?

as far as pentagon, I'm not sure why that's not working.  it works fine here.

No, I only installed 64bit. I guess I could install 32 and see... I'll wait to see what TThas to say and I will let you know.
 
Thanks,

I don't know why it's not working for you. do you have the 32 bit sonar installed on your system?

 
I asked TT for help and they told me what to do and it works fine now. I don't know exactly why it did nt work before but per their instructions I right clicked on thezip file, chose extract all, extracted to desktop, then I installed EZD lite 63bit; EZD solo 64bit; and the cocktail kit. I got no errors and the solo player works fine. They said it would not extract correctly unless I used the W7 extractor which is default by right clicking...I didn't know I had any other unzip program but whatever... it worked. Now, if I can work all will be well. EXDrummer is interesting.
I have not played around much with SD3. How is EZDrummer or Superior Drummer different from SD3? Will any of the three allow me to use ACID loops or hits? I have lots of them and some are good. I also have several Groove Monkee sets I want to be able to use.
 
Hry, thanks for the help... in a nutshell, right click on the zip>extract all... solved the problem.

glad you got it working.

EZD is superior to SD3 because of routing and flexibility of mic settings.  you can have up to 8 (I think) outputs in EZD and you can choose which outputs go to where, you can mix in different amounts of ambient/overhead, etc.

I am glad i can help you with tool by name (long_path_tool).Try for yourself and fix you problem in no time.

Whew, thanks!!
 
Have you got a fix for ST2's small gui? (hopefully when ST3 comes out, it will address that.......but, who knows when that will be?)
 
 

Lars knows. He does. Ask him.

I have used “Long Path Tool” in this situation and it helped me easily and quickly. This tool can fix all the error messages like:
1. Path too long
2. Cannot delete file: cannot read from source file or disk
3. Cannot delete file: Access is denied
4. There has been a sharing violation.
5. The source or destination file may be in use.
6. The file is in use by another program or user.
7. The file name you specified is not valid or too long. Specify a different file name.
and all other related error messages.
I hope you will find this solution helpful and don’t forget to leave your comments.
