Hi its not letting me post this in studio corner so I submit it here….. im just getting back into all this and am wondering before I buy SD3… is there an upgrade price from 2? Also I want to avoid double kicks for any product mapping to the same note. In the past when i bought something like metal foundry, the one midi note value for the kick had alternating double bass hits. But this wasn’t too pro because both kicks had the same output and the compressor was clamping down without releasing fast for the rapid alternating hits when they should be having each their own compressor. In other words I want to only have products that will allow me to run seperate compressors on seperate kicks for the double bass drum. Will S3 allow this? because I hate the same not mapped to both kicks… I dont know whats up with that silly nonsense. So essentially to assign a B and a C note on the keyboard to the two seperate kicks and then have them routed to thier own channels either in the S2 or S3 mixer or my own daw, and assign seperate compressors to them.
Also, ive never used any of the midi before ive always just penciled in my notes with S2. Can i please find out if i get into any these midi packs, and if i buy an electronic drum kit, can i reconcile my preferences for seperate kicks as mentioned above before it all loads in? Or do i have to transfer all the hits? I just dont want to run into complex issues of all the midi packs have the double bass hits all assigned to one hit. then that will be anightmare to transfer every second note down to the B1 since I want seperate midi notes and seperate midi mapping for the different bass drum.
But why are they both mapped to the same note in foundry? This is not correct practice in my opinion. Because a seperate kick drum is a seperate midi note. but why with S2 metal foundry is it the same note??
