Drum Machine Designer not able to find individual drum kit sounds

Hi everyone,

So I'm using the Drum Machine Designer to assign drum sounds to my midi pad and for some reason when I go to add individual drums from the "Drum Kit Designer" in the library window the program alerts me that "some additional content is needed for this project". I am looking at my Sound Library Manager and I show that everything is installed. Every single instrument (I did this to cover my bases).

Just to be safe, I have reinstalled my sound library and still no dice. What's very, very strange is that I can usually get to hear one or two of the sounds as I click through the library and then as soon as I try to click through a third one the program decides that it can't find those files anymore and prompts me with that above message.

I've tried reinstalling the sound library, the Logic Pro X is version 10.4.1, my OS is Sierra 10.12.6. So everything is as up to date as can be. Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Logic Pro X, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)

That should not happen.

Do you know if it's a specific sample that triggers it every time or if it's random, meaning the same sample works sometimes but not other?

Where is you content installed?

The first instance I encounter is when I am trying to assign the snare- the Blue Ridge snare seems to always load up just fine. Every other instance of the snares do not. In fact, the same happens with the kicks. The Blue Ridge kick loads alright, but every other one comes up with the message "some additional content is needed for this project". Again, I have literally every instrument downloaded and shown as installed in the Sound Library manager.

Looking at where the content is installed- I believe it should be located in the HD>Library>Application Support>Logic>Sampler Instruments>03 Drums & Percussion>04 Drum Kit Designer>Drum Kit Designer Snare> and then a list of .exs files of snares.

Do they need to be located in the EXS Factory Samples folder? Because I only have .caf files under the EXS Factory Samples>Drum Kit Designer Consolidated>Drum Kit Designer Snare>Stereo file path. I'm not sure why the Sound Library Manager shows it as installed but Logic won't recognize that the sounds are installed.

Thank you for your help!
