    The Product Manager downloads the installers to your startup disk, but when you run the installer, you can choose where to put the libraries. (And then delete the installers afterwards.) That’s how I did it.

    I do wish there were sample location settings in the manager to set & forget though.

    I think you can download and install to any location – just specify in the Tools/Options of Product Manager

    Thanks Rod,

    Mate do you know how to play the multitracks “Together”  inside sd3 at the bottom?

    They don’t seem to merger together for some bizzare reason.

    I’ve looked every where for it and can’t find a solution.

    I do though, have Autism and sometimes get a bit head fucked with some stuff :/

    Regards,

    Wozza.

    The idea behind having more than one “tracks” in the Song Track is for trying multiple arrangements.

    Like:

    trying different MIDI parts on the verse.

    Trying the ride instead of the hi hat on the chorus

    Things is that nature.

    It’s not designed like a multitrack recorder so multiple sounds can play at one time.

    Thanks Scott,

    I don’t get that, that’s more advantages to just dragging a new groove into the same track I’m working with?

    I want to set up a different drum kit for my song bridge and dont want to set up a new SD3 Track in Logic, as it would use up more CPU.

    With a simple software change, TTracks engineers could make the different SD3 tracks play together??

    If you dragged over the top of the current track, you couldn’t A/B the song structure change between multiple song variations.

    It’s definitely not a simple software change. It might look simple on the outside. What you wish to do is definitely more in the realm of a DAW.

    That being said, considering that you are wanting to use a ride instead of hi-hat articulation in a part of a song, why would you have to load two instances of SD3? There are many ways to do this in Logic Pro X. The easiest, and most visual way, is to assign multiple tracks to the same instrument. This will allow you to carry out the various midi possibilities without using any extra resources. Another way you can do this is by using Track alternatives. However, this is closer to SD3s behavior. or, you can go all else and use project alternatives. However, this would be more useful for testing different kits and presets. To use this simply for testing different articulations would probably be overkill… Similar to trying to light a barbeque with a jet engine.

    or, if you really wanna roll the dice on possibilities, you can use the newly introduced live mode. You can set up a whole matrix of possibilities there.

    There are many ways to skin a cat in Logic Pro X. It all really depends on how deep you want to go down the rabbit hole.
