Copy midi from one Superior Drummer instantiation to another in the same session

[sleshnyc]

I’m running 2 Superior Drummers in one pro tools session....

I’m running 2 Superior Drummers in one pro tools session. I edited some grooves on one and now want to copy them to the other and it won’t let me. Is there a way to do this?

Please read my original posts carefully!

The feature you’re describing only works within one instance! If I copy the kick track from one instance, then switch to another instance, the paste commands do not work. SD3 and EZD3 both say that the clipboard is empty! The clipboard is not shared between instances.

If you follow the previous instructions and drag the track from the “source” instance to an empty track on the “target” instance you can then copy and then option/right click and select: Paste on selected Groove > Kick. That will leave the rest of the target track intact and insert only the kick that you dragged and dropped to the empty track.

Did you even look at my screenshot? There were two instances of Superior Drummer.  in fact, I tested it before I posted. I highly suggest you look carefully and try it before telling someone that it doesn’t work despite the fact that they have been doing it for the past 8 years.

You don’t even need to do that. You can do a straight copy from the one instance and then do a paste in groove onto the other.

plenty of ways to get this done.

I do it that way so I have all the soource data in once instance. But yes your method has less ballet moves. The basics is, yes it can be done.

Exactly! If anything I was working on building on your answer. It’s just like when people ask me if it’s okay to do #1 in Logic or #2 and I simply answer “yes”. There’s no right way, but there are ways.
