“Sound Check” or Test Mode

[ventriz]

Hey everybody!

Propably a stupid question: Other drum plugins like Ugritone have a “Test” button for each drum, which triggers the drum being played in a loop for sound checking/mixing purposes etc.

I am shure SD3 should also have this. This is a real obvious or basic feature, but I just could not find it, even after some searching. Where is it? I am tired otherwise hitting midi keys or looking for test midis for basic mixing , lol

Best!

Hi,

if I follow you correctly, isn’t the ‘Auto-Load’ button what you are looking for? If you run a groove in loop, hit Alt/Option+R to replace e.g. the Snare and have ‘Auto-Load’ Enabled, you will hear it in place when selected. If you don’t like what you hear when you exit Replace, hit Undo.

BR,
John

Hey, thx for the answer! this is not what I searched for, but surely an ok option. Would be great if Toontrack would implement a simple “single drum-loop”-test mode. Best!

John’s method is far more versatile and just as easy. I use it all the time for auditioning kit pieces, as well as creating drum mixes and presets.

Just play a midi from the grooves tab (they’ll play on loop) and solo the desired drums.  That’s what I do when I’m setting up effects in the mixer.
