Progressive Foundry Missing Sounds

[monopauli]

Hey everyone!

I bought the Progressive Foundry Addon for Superior Drummer 3 but it seems that some sounds are not present.

Hi-Hats and Snares sound really good but the Toms only use one sample each and I can’t find the bow samples for the cymbals (only the edge is available in the articulations).

Does anyone have experience with this Addon?

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.4.0
Operating system: Windows 11

When I first read your post I struggled to think what you could have done for your description to be accurate.  Then loading it up I see what you mean.
The tom samples do sound quite like the same sample.  Just affected with some transient reduction or something for the quieter ones.  And yep, no bow and bell articulations for cymbals.

No wonder I haven’t ever used this SDX and is on my list of regretted purchases.  I honestly think TT do themselves a disservice to the newer stuff by charging the same amount for all their SDX’s.  Sure they are discounted more then the newer ones.  But anyone buying in for the first time, thinking they’ll grab a bundle for value and selecting something from the oldest ones that suits thier taste/style.  Only to be disappointed and not understand what all the fuss is about regarding Superior Drummer.  I know they have good demo’s to listen and judge, but pre-mixed and well made midi can do a lot to sell it.

I think all pre SD3 SDX’s should be at a different price.  I feel like I say it every 3rd post or so but the improvements every subsequent SDX have been rather substantial, especially for an e-drummer.  It seems like a public service announcement now to say, “If it’s the most realistic drum sounds you want, sort by latest release until you find something you like”

Agreed. The old sdx’s didn’t have the articulations that sd3 came with or newer sdx’s after sd3 release. Some are still very good and I used them when I had sd2 but for realism while playing edrums then it has to be sd3 packs and not the old sd2 packs

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
