I know what you mean. I’d love a chart that shows you exactly what gets saved in a preset and what gets saved with a kit. For instance where is midi mapping saved? If I open SD3 and call up a kit (without first loading a preset) it doesn’t have the correct mapping. Shouldn’t that get saved with the kit?

i would think the mixer would only have instrument routing, levels and fx, not midi. I could be wrong about this since I’m pretty new to SD3.

All of the kit piece info and mixer routings are saved in the preset. If you either option-click or click on the dropdown icon in a preset within the menu and select Load Parts, you can then choose what you wish to load.

Mappings are saved mainly in the Midi-in/E-drum settings. Presets add additional transformation of those mappings.

Kits and presets are different animals, just as they were in BFD. Kits are just that.

Sorry Jord, but I don’t understand your post.

Which ‘dropdown icon in a preset’ are you referring to on which menu?

We’re very slow around here. 🙂

Thanks.

That allows me to load any preset and then replace the mixer with the one from my saved User Preset.

It doesn’t explain what is going on in the ‘Part Presets’ section of the drop-down menu, but that is not important right now, I can do what I want to do.

The “part presets” are presets that loads just kits or the mixer. It’s only a few of our (mostly older) products that has these presets, so the lists are empty for some products.

From the S3 manual:

The Part Presets in the Presets Menu can be thought of as the inner layer of the wider scope Drum and Mixer Presets (i.e Part of the Drum and Mixer presets). Therefore it is possible to choose a Drum and Mixer Preset for its unique processing in the mixer but then by selecting a Part Preset you can change the drum kit without affecting any other aspect of Superior Drummer 3 for example the plugins and routing in the mixer. This is best explained with the example below.

For instance, imagine that you have loaded the Bob Rock Kit 1 Preset which uses the Yamaha Beech Custom Drum kit. However, you would like to hear this preset (and all of Bob Rock’s unique processing) with the Premire Genista kit instead. To do this first load the Bob Rock Kit 1 preset, then again open the Presets Menu and load the Premire Genista Part Preset.

The Parts Preset Mixers selection was added to Superior Drummer 3 to maintain compatibility with early versions of Superior Drummer 2 and its Avatar library. Therefore, there will be no options in this menu unless you own and select the Avatar sound library.

Thanks Scott.

So the ‘Part Presets’ section is irrelevant to me.

That’s good – one less thing to worry about.

Still learning about Mixer settings in regards to presets:

I figured this out now using Select Parts…
