Hello Toontrack,
I’ve owned and used EZ2 for a few years now, but the lack of midi mapping for use with my midi controller (keyboard plus 50+ assignable pads/sliders), prompted me to step up to the superior line. I wound up with SD3, but am getting really worried I wasted lots of money.
I had watched a few tutorials on SD2 about creating midi nodes, and had read a review of SD3 that stated the stack function replaced midi nodes. I thought: “Great, this is exactly what I need”.
I wanted to create one using different (ex. snare) articulations, by triggering them based on the velocity of a hit pad.
Example: After programming, a single MIDI note would use velocity 0-30 to trigger an edge hit (ghost-note sound), velocity 31-120 would trigger the (main) center hit, and 121-127 would trigger the (dynamic) rim-shot hit.
Is this possible in SD3? Just under a different feature/name? Will it be? I’m actually praying that it is…
This is the natural way I play a real snare, matter of fact, probably the way 90% of drummers would play one.
For the life of me, I can’t imagine why this functionality wouldn’t be included in SD3, as to me, it’s crucial in facilitating live play-ability for those of us that use controllers, and do not want to *even start* on the very expensive road to e-drums.
