Plans for a more detailed manual?

[Mark King]

Is there plans for a more detailed manual? I’m struggling with the online manual as it just doesn’t have enough information. I could do with a list of what exactly is saved with all the different places you can save things. Projects, Presets, Part Presets (Can’t see how to save a part preset) Midi In/Edrums preset.

SD3 with older sdx,s plus Rooms of Hansa and Death & Darkness. Cubase and wavelab current versions. Roland TD50x using all trigger inputs for triggering SD3 only. Windows 11 computer. Various keyboards and outboard gear as well as VST instruments. Acoustic drums: Yamaha 9000 natural wood and Pearl masters. Various snare drums. RME BabyFace Pro FS and Adam A7X monitors

It was stated in another thread that the reason Toontrack opted for an online manual is so that it may be updated and avoid outdated manuals that users would otherwise have on their drives.

Further details and tips would be a welcome addition to the existing manual.

I’ll notify the manual writers about your request!

Until then, I can explain the above presets:
* Projects = This is everything you see in Superior Drummer 3, meaning that when you open a project – everything is restored as it was when you saved it (song track, drums, mixer, tracker, filter selections in Grooves etc).

* Presets = We call them “Drums and Mixer Presets” since that is what they contain – everything in the Drums tab and the Mixer tab.

* Part Presets – these presets has been used over the years in different EZX:s and SDX:s, so we have support for it in Superior Drummer 3. We have changed focus in Superior Drummer 3, and found it better for users to primarily save a Drums and Mixer preset and then be able to select what to load from that, rather than saving kits and mixers separately.
– Drum kits: these are only the drum kit part selections. When you load it, it will only swap the drum selections, and leave all the settings in the property boxes.
– Mixers: Some SDX:s and EZX:s has presets that only affects the mixer – those are placed here.

* Midi In/Edrums = it saves and loads everything you see and can change in the Midi In/Edrums settings page. MIDI mapping, velocity curves, CC zones etc.

I hope this clarifies things a bit 🙂
