Simon Phillips Jazz Drums - missing midi files?

Hi. I just bought and installed Simon Phillips Jazz Drums as part of a Black Friday deal. It installed successfully, and I’m able to view/play it in Groove Agent 5. The website says there are also 560 midi files included with this expansion, but I cannot seem to find them anywhere (they are not showing-up under the MIDI tab in Groove Agent’s Load panel). I see the styles and kits.

Anyone else run into this? I’m not sure where else to look. (Or am I misunderstanding the text about MIDI files?)

Thanks!

SP Jazz Drums doesn’t include MIDI files. You probably bought the “collection” that was on offer – I know MIDI files come with SP Studio Drums (including the entire solo), for example, but I don’t have SP Vintage Drums so I don’t know about that one.

Thank you for your reply, MrSoundman. I see the same thing on my file browser as you. However, I’m basing my question on information listed on the Steinberg website for SPJDs. It says it features 20 styles and over 560 MIDI files (unless this means that there are over 560 MIDI variations within the 20 styles?).

Maybe you are missing them, too? :slight_smile:

P.S. I did get the drum solo MIDI files that came with SP Studio Drums, but (from memory) there were maybe 20 or 30 files (nowhere near 560).

There’s definitely something not right with that stuff on the website … and probably not anything any of us here can answer, so I’d suggest you log a support ticket (via MySteinberg).

FWIW, there have been numerous reports about missing SPJD content here over the past few months, perhaps @Philippe_Bono (from Steinberg) could comment?

I have SP Jazz drums. I am pretty sure I have midi files.
