Decades Install question

[Guy Rowland]

Just got the Decades SDX, having read on the website that there is a 28gb stereo-only install.  However I can’t see a way to install anything other than the full 99gb in the Product Manager – how do I do this?

Thanks in advance.

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.1.4
Operating system: Windows 10

The download step doesn’t have this option, you need to download the entire installer. Then when you install, you should have the option.

Got it thanks.  Installed and sounds fabulous!

Should have its own thread I guess, but I notice the Jazz EZX midi doesn’t map correctly to Decades on stuff like swirls.  Is there any way of mapping one to the other?

The swirls in Decades use future hit technology and respond to tempo changes so are configured differently to the Jazz EZX with regard to MIDI notes. I think we could make the Jazz EZX MIDI work better with the Decades SDX so we will look into this.

As a workaround for now you could open the grid editor in Superior Drummer 3 and move the ‘flam’ notes to ‘out swirl’. It won’t sound as authentic as the Decades MIDI with the Decades library but will get you closer to the intended performance.

OK, thanks for the tips Damian – will be great if you folks can get some versions that work well from the Jazz EZX in the fullness of time.  Cheers!
