I need some help here folks. I have my instance of Superior Drummer 3 in my Studio One 7 track. Problem is, I need more than 16 outs to do what I need to on the studio one mixer (some plugins just don’t come natively built-it/replicated inside Superior Drummer 3 by itself). Before anyone asks why anyone could need more than 16:
- Kick (already summed the kick-in & kick-out inside SD3 to save a track)
- Kick-Sub
- Kick Trigger (an x-drum with a specific transient signal for use in hit-replacement/drum-replacement inside studio one, suppose I could do this with a bus from kick 1, but it’s just so much cleaner this way).
- Snare Top (summed from dyn + cond inside SD3)
- Snare Bottom
- Ghost Note Track (a life saver I have found, moving ghost notes to a separate x-drum and processing slightly different for audibility )
- Hats
- Tom 1
- Tom 2
- Tom 3
- Tom 4 (I really, REALLY don’t want to process these a single out inside SD3, there is some effecting I would like to do to each drum which can’t be done in SD3 alone)
- OH
- Room Near
- Room Mid
- Room Far
- Room Mono
- Booth
So as you can see, I’m one short & I really don’t want to lose the ghost note or trigger track (they save a ton of time & give me flexibility I can’t grab otherwise). Now I know some other DAWs like Cubase you can do 32 Mono tracks which is bad-ass…you can’t in Studio One 7 Pro. I need some help from a mad genius on this board who knows how to make this work, Thank you in advance!

Hi there,
I’ve done a little limited testing as a theory to address your issue as best as possible, and I think it should work.
As Mark indicated you will send 2 SD3 tracks panned L/R to an output pair. In Studio One you will expand the instrument tracks as normal.
On each track you need to insert Presonus Splitter and set the mode to channel split, then within each splitter you can process the incoming signals separately, eventually the output is going to come through the stereo channel, but the signals themselves can be processed separately. In my example I added a delay to 1 tom and nothing to the other tom. The tom with the delay is processed separately from the tom with no effects. I hope this makes sense.
You may only need to double up a few tracks like this in reality and for those tracks you have done like this, try setting the panning mode to dual (holding the option key should allow you to pan without effecting the other side)
