dragging MIDI

[joey pinter-bilek]

hi everyone, i’m still trying to find my way around SD3 so there are 2 questions.
1, after I insert a groove into SONAR there is no way to know where it came from. so I tried to drag the clip into insert MIDI then what happens is nothing happens, SD3 freezes up. then I close the project then drag the same clip to song creator however, the same thing happens. nothing works.
I don’t know if one can drag a clip from sonar back to SD3 but when I do it I don’t get that symbol from windows that says “no, you can’t do that”. please tell me what i’m doing wrong.
2. this is something that many users have a beef with. there is no way to locate a groove after it’s inserted into the DAW. as smart as you guys are could I expect some sort of patch where things are labeled?
other then that, this thing is brilliant.
thanks so much

What version of Superior Drummer 3 are you using? What version of Sonar?

We have added more info to the dragged MIDI in the 3.0.2 update, where the name of the MIDI is the full path to it. We’ll continue to improve this system, since users wants to know where the MIDI comes from…

hi Henrik, thanks for getting back to me. according to the toontrack product manager my SD3 version is 1.0,0 then under that it says “a newer version is installed” going down the list I see UPDATES SOUND LIBRARY AND PRESETS 1.0.0 then CORE MIDI 1.0.0 then SOUND LIBRARY UPDATES AND PRESETS 1.0.1
next to the last two items it says DOWNLOAD STATUS DELIETED
INSTALLATION STATUS INSTALLED
i’m using SONAR PLATINUM
I hope this is the correct information for you to help me out with this.
I look forward to your thoughts.
thanks so much

When you open Superior Drummer 3, what version number is listed in the bottom right corner? It should be 3.0.1, 3.0.2…?

Hi Joey! We’d be glad if you could do some tests for us.
If you clear the search browser and drag the topmost groove to Sonar, and then back to the song track, does that work?
If not, what happens if you drag that file from Sonar to the desktop, and then into Superior?
If that doesn’t work either, try dragging from Superior directly to your desktop, and then back, does that work?
If not, try running Superior stand alone and drag to the desktop and back, does that work?
