[michaeltn86]

Hi, I’m still testing superior drummer 3, but does it have a keymap for Logic Pro x drummer and other drums programs? if yes, where it’s available? thanks!!!

ps: sorry to make another topic, but thought it would be helpful in case someone looks for it too!

Hi, sorry to ask again, but is there a keymap for Logic Pro X drummer?

I’m not a drummer, and I’m sure that many people use Logic Pro X drummer and then import the midi to their favorite drum VI.

I’m really impressed with SD3 sounds and will replace several projects of Logic Pro drummer midi, and when porting to SD3 the Hi-hats and Rides get really weird sounding.

One of the key features of SD3 is the grid editor (to refine the midi data in a very intuitive way), but when porting the logic drummer midi to the grid editor the results are really strange.

Here some audio examples:

can Toontrack explain me how can I port to the grid editor without having strange behavior on hi-hats and rides? I appreciate ur support in advance. I can also provide the midi data in case it’s helpful.

thanks

Michael

I’ve seen Toontrack address this question in other threads.

As I understand it, but haven’t tried it for myself,
If you record the MIDI that you created/edited/hosted in Logic into the SD3 SongTrack,
the SD3 algorithm will ‘transform’ that MIDI,

I do not know whether it can do this with a Logic Drummer track alone
or if the Logic Drummer track must be converted to a general MIDI track within Logic first
Logic has a function to do this. Please try it both ways and compare the results.

Hi Scott, thanks for taking the time to reply. I couldn’t find where toontrack addressed this question in other threads. can you Kindly advise?

And, what do u mean by converting to a general midi track? first I converted the logic drummer to midi by coping it to another track, and then exported as midi file to desktop. and then, imported to SD3 as midi files. am I doing something wrong here?

big thanks!

Importing MIDI will not engage the transform algorithm.

If you record the MIDI that you created/edited/hosted in Logic into the SD3 SongTrack,
the SD3 algorithm will ‘transform’ that MIDI.

Hi Scott.

There is a key map for Logic Pro x drummer with in the SD3. The Drummer is a dynamic kind of plug-in which most creatively will be used while writing songs / creating arrangements in Logic.
When locking these tracks as midi tracks, the whole point of the drummer is kinda gone, as the dynamic work flow will be lost.

So the key map is kinda essential for the Sd3’s performance with Logic 🙂

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.2.7
Operating system: macOS Monterey (12)

You do realize that this is an old thread that was posted not too long after SD3’s release. 😉
