SD3 as plug in on Ableton; number of kits per track and multiple SD3 instances

[Reflex_2]

In session view in Ableton, with SD3 plug in loaded say on Track 1….

 

1. I record a Scene using Jazz Kit on SD3 which is in Track 1 of Ableton session view.
2. I then duplicate that scene identically, but…. can I change the kit on Scene 2 using the same SD3 instance on Track 1?

Also, in general, if I want to have say 3 tracks with 3 different SD3 kits or beats….I have to load Sd3 as a plug in, one per track? How do I minimize plug in cpu overload ?

 

Thank you!

Hi,

your first questions are over my head since I do not speak Ableton that well but to answer your resources related question; remove instruments, articulations and bleed you do not use in each instance.
If you do not use them simultaneously, I don’t think the FX in the mixer of an unused instance will affect your CPU usage.

 

BR,

John
