I just purchased SD3 last night and have only downloaded the basic library. I’m currently downloading the rest of it.
I opened SD3 and noticed that the graphics are missing for the cymbals and toms on many of the kits – they’re “ghosted”. I can click on the ghosted image and hear a sound (not sure if it’s the right sound, but I hear something). I can get them to “fill in” if I select the ghosted outline, right click and select a kit piece.
However, I would think that when it SD3 comes up, all kit piece graphics would be loaded. Is it because I’m still downloading the rest of the content?
Thanks,

It’s the same on mine …. guess normal behavior, when a right click sayz ‘none’ at the bottom.
There not missing. That is the size of the Gretch kit sampled. Not all the kits use all positions. You can fill in the other positions with whatever you want or use the same kit and tune say a Tom higher or lower to get a full kit.

Thanked by: Henrik EkblomTo summarize; the “ghosted” instrument positions just means that nothing is loaded. If you click them and you hear a sound, it’s actually another instrument that makes the sound. This is because of instrument substitution – if nothing is loaded on a certain instrument, SD3 plays a similar instrument instead.
For example: if your tom 1 is empty and you click it, tom 2 will play instead. This is because when you play MIDI files with a tom fill for example, it shouldn’t just be quiet when tom 1 plays.
I hope my explanation was understandable 🙂
