Superior Drummer 4 wish list

[Five18Studios]

Tracker: Macro access to Mix knobs

Next/Prev buttons for Drumkit Part and mixer presets (similar to the Kit piece menus at the top of the instrument tab)

Grid Editor: Show only tracks with data in the lane

Grid Editor: Make lanes wider

Grid Editor: Better defined grid subdivisions (variations in thickness or color for weak/strong beats)

Grid Editor: Set grid to swing

Grid Editor Select Menu: Select all notes in a certain velocity range (to even out the dynamics of higher velocity notes but leave lower ghost notes alone)

Grid Editor: Fill loop with 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 notes (Maybe in the right click menu in Grid Editor on specified track)

VST3 support (in the mixer) for 3rd party plugins

Improved detection with OH and multiple cymbals (Tracker)

Grid Editor: Volume control for click level on the interface

Ability to do custom user velocity layered drums (easier)

Swap Spacebar transport behavior or turn on/off return to start (so we don’t have to hold the option key for this behavior)

We need “SOLO” and “Instrumental” or “Interlude” as song parts. Or, How about custom song part names in the Preferences?

Grid Editor: More comprehensive controls for Dynamics (Range for compression E.G. min/max values)

Outros:  Include outros with every Groove/Style including outros that ritard, trashcan endings, short/longer endings, endings where the drums don’t sound like they’re trying to solo.  There are very few endings available…and I’m NOT a drummer, sooooooo…. endings.  OR give us some way to take a section, set a tempo for the front of the section, a tempo for the END of the section, and then make it gradually change tempos to provide a ritardando to end the song.

The ability to import two different track1 and to be able to cut and paste betwen the tracks

Maybe I misunderstand but you can already have multiple Song Tracks (hundreds of them!) and copy and paste between them.

Hi John

There might be a misunderstanding. Let say I have track 1 and a track 2 and track 1 selected Now I want to open xxx.d3p into track 1 no problem. Now I select track 2 and want to open yyy.sd3p into track 2 but that is not possible. It will (always) open in track 1. So in short I want to open (or drag) an .sd3p file into the current selected track x  (x= 1, 2 3 …)

Best regards

I’m really hoping for some more self generating drums. I wish that all or any parts of the kit could be randomized every measure, to give an improvised feel instead of midi drum parts.

I would even love a randomize button just to spit out completely unorthodox drum parts.  Lock in parts that work, but keep randomizing other parts. Or maybe have one or two parts (kick, snare) that are a pattern, but randomize everything else.  Lock in each part until you generate something that no midi drum pack would throw at you.

Don’t get me wrong, I love SD3, but it seems rather uninspired at times. It would be nice if there were some experimental aspects to it.

Hi – Request for SD4. There are some libraries where all of the characters don’t fit in the allocated area for the preset file names. I also have my own user kits and often the file names I give them don’t all show in the allocated area. This can cause difficulty if the unique information that differentiates is at the end of the file name – as it is hidden.

Can we have a larger “space” allocated for all of these ? There seems to be lots of “spare” space in the header area to enable this to occur.

Please see attached highlighted in yellow to show where I mean. thanks, Andrew
