Hi, Scott

I totally agree that Superior Drummer is way.. superior in terms of options.

In fact I also own a copy of SD2. And, honestly, I barely use the product.
It’s not really for me. I find it too complicated to set up.
It’s not just a matter of midi mapping. But, it’s also the velocity curves that need to be tweaked, etc.
And it all needs to be done again when switching to a different kit.
Plus, the interface is neither efficient, nor intuitive.
In short a lot of setting-up needs to be done, before showtime.
(Sorry, that’s me: lazy and looking for quick and dirty solutions)

Which is a bit of a shame, because, if you take the time, SD2 can sound incredibly good.

However, all I want to do is launch my DAW and start trying ideas and sounds over basic guitar tracks with my e-drums.
So, I was very hopeful, when I heard that EZ Drummer 2 was expanding mapping options for electronic drummers.
It meant I would be using those wonderful Toontrack libraries a lot more often.
…Well, maybe not just yet.

There is an opportunity here for Toontrack to adapt their products, in order to bridge that gap between EZ Drummer and Superior Drummer.
Other software companies IMO have done it with success, and Toontrack, I’m sure could really do it if they wanted to.
Superior Drummer 3, maybe ?

Cheers.

Yeah, yeah.

I know, I should invest more time to set up Superior Drummer properly. All the right functions are in there.

I started this topic more as a wish for extra features in EZDrummer 2.

I like very much the simplicity and immediacy of EZDrummer 2.
Still, I see added mapping capabilities as a very worthwhile feature for EZDrummer 2, keeping it a very simple software, yet even more powerful.

And, I also want my cake and eat it too
