Cycle recording directly into the track editor?

[beebeeveevee]

Hi everyone

I’m definitely getting better at using SD3 and it’s very rewarding. However, I was wondering whether there is a cycle record function similar to how MIDI takes might be dealt with in a DAW (e.g. different takes or overwrites, rather than integrating multiple play-throughs into one MIDI region).

I’m not sure I’m being clear, so what I mean is:

• I’m recording V Drums directly into SD3 as a plugin in Logic (so I record enable SD3 in the plugin and then hit play on Logic)
• I set matching cycles within SD3 and Logic
• When the next cycle begins, new MIDI data from my V drums adds to the existing region within SD3
• What I want is for it not to do this – i.e I want it to either start a new region either by overwriting the existing one, or by overlaying a new region over the one from the previous cycle (and muting it).

I hope that makes sense. Any tips / tricks or help would be appreciated!

Ah – I think I may have found the answer. Reposting it here in case it helps anybody. From Henrik way back in 2018:

 

“I will write this up, since it’s something we need to fix! In the meantime, you can avoid this by recording the MIDI to a DAW track instead of using the Superior Drummer 3 track. They’ll behave in the way you want.

When done, to get the MIDI to Superior Drummer 3, you can record enabled SD3, having Follow Host enabled, and then press play in the DAW.”

it’s a workaround, but it works fine
