Mk3 micro – settings in SD3

[ChadwickDunderc0ck]

Hello,

just got an MK3. Is there a quick start doc for setting this up or a link someone can share before I find myself in a rabbit hole?

thanks.

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.1.7

In short, download the Controller Editor and map the pads to SD3 that is comfortable to your playing style. The beauty about the Mikro is that you can have 16 different pad groupings which will enable to map different kit pieces as needed. For example, I have one pad group that I use to play hi-hats with the kit while another pad group uses the ride cymbal in the exact same pads that I use for the hi-hat in the other group. You do not need to change your playing style to change kit pieces.

I have posted  part of my Mikro configuration in this thread that you can have a look at. Open it up in the Controller Editor. I found my style after watching videos of others do it and took bits and pieces of what I liked best of them. Enjoy.

If you have questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks. I’ve never used a midi controller before so this helps greatly.

thanks for both responses.

Just remember, just because you are playing the drums in SD3 through the MIDI pad controllers, this does not mean that you have to physically play those controllers like a drummer would.
