    The routing of an instrument is complicated since the kick has its sound in many different channels; not just the “Kick In”, “Kick out”, and “Kick Sub” channels for example.

    There are some things you can do. Either:

    *** Save the individual parts (the kick and it’s mixer channels):
    – Save the Kick as a User Instrument (in the Drums tab – “More” menu). This will save the instrument, but not the mixer channels. You can load this instrument on other presets.
    – In the Mixer, save the channels you want as Channel Effect user presets. This saves the effects chain, and lets you load it to another channel.

    Or

    *** Load everything from the next preset, except the kick and it’s mixer channels
    – Select all instruments except the kick (shift + click in the instruments list above the drum kit in the Drums tab)
    – Select all mixer channels – except the “Kick In”, “Kick Out” and “Kick Sub”. If there is an effect bus you want to keep, say a reverb that the “Kick In” channel is using, don’t select that either.
    In the Drums and Mixer presets menu, instead of just clicking the preset – right click on it and select “Load Parts…”. In here, you can opt to load only the selected instruments and mixer channels. Since you have selected the kick and it’s channels, the Sneap kick and channels will be kept…

    As I wrote in the beginning, keeping an instrument “exactly as it is” is hard, since it blends it sound into other mixer channels etc. It’s a bit tricky and complex, but give it a try and reply here on your progress!

    Hi Henrik

    Thank you for your suggestions 🙂

    I believe that a lot of people would love to do exactly this:

    Select Kick Drum from one Kit and a Snare from another, some Toms from a third kit .. etc,

    … but this is very complicated in Superior Drummer !!

    As it would increase the

    … as Toontrack is very skilled in programming, it should therefore be programmed by Toontrack into Superior Drummer 3

    … Suggested Solution :

    1. Toontrack will make a tool: “Compose your own new kit”… Select Kick from xxx, SN from; yyyy etc:     or:
    2. Toontrack will make a feature, “Save the selected instrument WITH the current mixer settings, ” (as user preset)  + “Load user instrument incl. mixer settings”  … dialog box :Replace the selected instrument ?

    .. Does this make sense ?

    .. Can you make this possible ?

    If Toontrack would prioritize to make this possible, it would increase the User Experience & Interaction of Superior Drummer 3 enormously ,  🙂

     

    Keep up the good work  🙂

    It would be nice to be able to do what you suggest, and we’ll take a note of it on our feature request list!
