Superior 3 .3.6 build 35757-Suddenly Not Loading Into RAM

[Mike P]

Greetings:

I’ve been a Superior Drummer user since way back in the Drumkit From Hell Days and I own most every SDX and EZX, along with most MIDI add-on packs.  As a TV Composer, I use S3 on nearly every project.

Today, from some odd reason, S3 isn’t loading every velocity into RAM.  It’s acting as if it’s set to Project Specific but it’s actually set to Force Cache.  I’ve toggled between the two setting to see if it’ll work properly but that hasn’t worked.  I’ve also tried unloading and reloading S3 but that hasn’t worked, either.

I tested different kits in Standalone mode and it’s doing the same thing:  It’s loading instruments while the Groove is playing instead of being directly loaded into RAM.

Please advise.  Thanks so much!

Hi,

I am not sure I understand you correctly, you should indeed have ‘Project Specific’ and not ‘Force Cache’ checked. And on the Memory drop down you check that ‘Cached’ is off.

Hi John,

Thank you for the quick reply.  I had it set to Force Cache Mode because it says that “Cache mode will be activated each time SD3 is started and when projects are loaded”.  I thought that was the correct setting.  But if I switch to Project Specific, the definition does not change.  I’ve attached two photos below.

Also, where is the Memory Drop Down?  I cannot find it.   Thanks again!

Best,

Mike

Hi John,

I found the Cache setting and disabled it so now, it’s working as it should.  I’m not sure how the cache was enabled, since I haven’t touched that feature in the past 5 years but I’m just happy it’s resolved.  Thanks again!

Now, I do have another serious issue at hand.  If I Arm or turn on the “Sound” on  a MIDI track that is connected to Superior 3 In Cubase 11 and 12 Pro (Both had the same exact results), the Performance Meter in Cubase goes crazy, from like 12% to 60%.  It does not happen with any other software (NI, Arturia and so on).  I’ve attached photos below.

1. Nothing armed. Performance Meter at around 10-12%

2. NI Komplete 6 armed with 8 instruments.  Performance Meter same as above

3. NI not armed. Superior armed.  Performance Meter goes crazy.  I captured it at right around 50% but I’d need to do a video to show just how high the meter goes when Superior is armed.

Thanks again!

Mike
