Is this possible?

[tomrip]

Hello. Are there keyboard shortcuts that exist, or can this be done? In reaper I have letter keys set to where I can hit a key and it changes grid and vocity. So I have one key set for 25 velocity, another set for 50 velocity. The same thing for grid size. One key changes to 8th, another quarter and so on. This really speeds up the process, but it is so much easier programming it superior. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
yes, of course there is they are in your settings. And yes, they can be changed however, unlike most plug-ins as SD3 loses focus when the doll is in focus and therefore your keyboard loses focus from SD3.

And yes, they can be changed however, unlike most plug-ins as D3 loses focus when the doll is in focus and therefore your keyboard loses focus from SD3.

I have a big fancy keyboard that is application, aware, and it also has macr keys that I can program. But because superior drummer, even though it is a VST3 plug-in is still behaving like a standalone app, and therefore must be in focus for the keyboard to control it.

in my daw, I have the letter R set to arm the track for recording and the keypad “ * ” to trigger recording. I went into SD3 and changed the appropriate shortcuts to those same keyboard letters, which is how I figured out that it behaves like a separate software, example the above keys respond when the daw is in focus, but do not respond in SD3.
