strumpystrudelMore of a feature request than anything.
Basically along the lines of the remote apps that most DAWs have for controlling various parameters from a tablet.
I like to sit at my kit and mess with SD, which is running from a Mac Studio, from my iPad. The workflow of programming in SD then walking over to my drums doesn’t work for me, although I could use the steps.
The current options seem to be:
Anyway, sending basic data types and structures from a nice clean interface over WiFi uses a microscopic amount of data compared to video. SD3 Remote™ would be dope. Just my $0.02.
drumjack52It’s not the amount of data but the latency in the system when WIFI enters the picture. You don’t need a cable for the computer keyboard – use Apple’s built-in system. Actually if this were my setup I’d re-arrange things so you could swivel around on the drum throne to your recording setup. Sort of like Neil Peart’s concert setup with the acoustic and electric kits all around him. Or get a second monitor set right so you can see it from your kit. And leave it there.

Bear-Faced CowI remote into my main computer from an old Mac through screen sharing over WiFi and it’s nothing adverse as described above. Everything is very responsive and changing any needed parameters on any plugin is rather seamless. The sidecar feature is also quite responsive on my iPad. If it’s not working for you, I would suggest to check your Wi-Fi. Aside from that I would also follow Jack’s suggestion and use a wireless trackpad and keyboard.

Thanked by: drumjack52strumpystrudelI’m more referring to running cables to a separate monitor: one for power and one for video. Or one cable if you can find a decent USB-C powered portable monitor.
Do people still used wired keyboard and mouses still? Regardless, still a hassle to move them which is why a touchscreen would be preferable. The KBM was a minor point.
Sometimes Sidecar works reliable. Other times, it freezes after a few minutes and I have restart it.
At any rate, I think the user experience is pretty solid with RME TotalMix Remote, Logic Remote, Studio One RC, etc. Something along those lines for SD3 would be great.. IMO.

With a Mac you can have multiple mice and keyboards at the same time. Keep one at the kit and another at your computer. I run dual mice here no problems.

Bear-Faced CowMy keyboard, mouse, and trackpad are all wireless. I can take them all over the studio.
it sounds more like you have a Wi-Fi issue because sidecar runs flawlessly in my studio. And, like I said before, remoting in with an old Mac using screen share has no lag in performance.
Logic Pro X & Studio One are DAWs. Superior Drummer is an instrument that runs under it. Even if it were possible under the sandbox rules, ToonTrack has better things to put in as there are numerous ways to access Superior Drummer remotely as it is.

Mark KingI just use it in Cubase and control Cubase with icpro. Then again I don’t use sd3 for midi. I keep it in Cubase as I do all my other midi.
SD3 with older sdx,s plus Rooms of Hansa and Death & Darkness. Cubase and wavelab current versions. Roland TD50x using all trigger inputs for triggering SD3 only. Windows 11 computer. Various keyboards and outboard gear as well as VST instruments. Acoustic drums: Yamaha 9000 natural wood and Pearl masters. Various snare drums. RME BabyFace Pro FS and Adam A7X monitors
strumpystrudelLol… ya’ll are pretty hung up on the KBM which was at best an aside.

Yep, I’m aware of what a DAW is and that Superior Drummer is not one. That being said, it runs in standalone which is generally how I use it when practicing and building kits. When I’m ready to record, I load it in a DAW and load my presets. Don’t see a reason to open a DAW and load it for those purposes. Everyones work flow is different. It makes about as much sense to debate as the best color.
TotalMix is not a DAW either, but has a helpful remote app. Maybe the devs at Toontrack have better things to do, maybe they don’t… their backlog isn’t public as far as I can tell.
drumjack52Not to be pedantic but there is no such thing as a KBM switch – it’s a KVM switch. Keyboard/video/mouse
