delete or add bars

[CH]

Hello

I would like to delete or add bars within Superior Drummer. This is because I use it as a slave to a dAW with lots of changing time signatures which I have manually entered into SD. By simply adding or deleting a bar it keeps all the time signature changes in sync with the DAW.

Is this possible?

cheers

Operating system: OS X Mavericks (10.9)

No, there is no automatic way to remove a bar (and have all MIDI data that follows to be moved accordingly). You’ll have to do this manually. Using the cut tool will make it easier: cut out the parts you don’t want and move the MIDI to fill the gap. Move any automation accordingly.

I will write it up as a feature request, as it may be handy to have such a feature in the software!

This “cut tool”-technique is very inconvinient when working with odd time signatures. I am working on a song, where there are a lot of odd-time shifts (20-ish shifts) in later parts of the song and simply want to add 8 bars of 5/8 before that point. This means I have to manually delete all time signatures when inserting these 8 bars and write the exact same thing over again, just 8 bars later. If you could just enter empty space such that the bars would move forward automatically, this would be much easier. A DAW can usually do this without problems with an “insert empty space selection”-option. It would be very nice if you could add this feature in Superior Drummer 3.

 

Edit: I just discovered that you can copy the time signatures and paste in later. However, I think this is a bit inconvinient compared to just inserting extra space. 🙂
