One Shot Pad & Tambourine Pad Greyed Out

[Barry Dalchow]

Hi, I have purchased, downloaded and installed SD3. I noticed that on the Power Hand section in Grooves that One Shot Pad & Tambourine Pad are Greyed Out and silent to play. Am I missing something? Also many Genres, Play Styles, Types, Signatures and Power Hands are also Greyed Out.

I know there are additional purchases when I click on Show Web Shop MIDI but because of the mount of greyed out choices maybe I should have some One Shot Pad & Tambourine Pad options? I know I have installed everything OK as it shows up in Project Manager. The following text is from the help section.

Superior Drummer 3 plug-in version 3.1.7 (build 23976) [64-bit VST]
Standalone host version 3.1.7 (build 23976)

Please can anyone clarify what I need to do. The attached scree-shot may

Hi,

it doesn’t seem like anything’s wrong with your installation but I am not exactly sure what you are trying to do?

Do you have a Tambourine Pad or One Shot Pad loaded on the DRUMS page?

If I use the same Filters as you on the GROOVES page, it looks exactly the same unless I load a One Shot Pad Instrument (or Tambourine Pad and Search for Tambourine Pad grooves), i.e. the ‘One Shot Pad/Tambourine Pad’ text turns white in the Results list when there’s a “receiving” instrument loaded.

The same goes for ‘Shaker Pad’ grooves.

BR,
John

Thanks John, it’s probably a navigation problem on my part, not sure how or where to add them on the drums page. It seems I have to add the instrument to get the shaker and tambourine icons to appear on the drums page but still greyed out on the grooves page. I’ll have to look deeper I think. I’m thinking mybe the default drum kit  does not have the option to add them to the grooves page.
