I use Superior drummer 3 in Nuendo 12. I use it because it’s, well, superior. Problem is that Nuendo will not map Superior Drummer. I’ve found workarounds, but it’s a hassle and eats time Is there a way that SD3’s software can talk to Nuendo 12?
Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.2.4 Operating system: Windows 10

is there any particular reason you are not using the latest available Superior Drummer 3 version? If not, I advise you to update.
Regarding your question: do you mean that you want the note assignments to automatically appear in a Cubase drum map?
If so, the answer is no but I am pretty sure there are a ton of user created drum maps out there.
The question is not very clear. I use Cubase and have my own drum maps. I didn’t expect someone else to create them for me. They are mapped with my td30 which triggers sd3.
What do you mean by it doesn’t map to sd3? Even without a drum map it works so it’s very unclear.
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

Thanks for your responses! I’ve never used a forum before so I am unaware of any etiquette involved with it. Forgive me if I mess up somehow. Anyway, in Nuendo 12 my process goes like this: I will find or tap out a basic groove and drag it into the page of the piece I’m working on. After setting the proper tempo, will go into the drum editor. The notes in the groove are visible. Often the drums and cymbals etc coming from SD3 do not correspond to the labels on the left of the drum map. Below the menu on the left where the labels (kick, snare etc.) are 2 windows one window named “Map”, the other “Names” The”map” window says “no map”. If I open the window, my options are: GM Map, Drum Map Setup and Create Map from instrument. That last one is the heart of my problem as it is greyed out. I often don’t have time to reinvent the map by choosing the “Drum Map Setup” option. I can only assume that there is a proprietary element here that wants to direct me to Steinberg’s Groove agent, which I find unwieldy and, frankly, the drums there are often overly processed and don’t sound very good to me. I really love the way SD3 allows me to process the drums the way I want to. They just sound better to my ear. Anyway, my post was just a plea for someone smarter than I am to see if anyone knows a way to create a drum map in Nuendo from SD3. As I’ve said’ I’ve found workarounds but…
I just did it manually. You can record all hits then hide unused and name what you have left. I’ve used Cubase from Atari days and always named drum maps myself. I can’t think of any other way. It’s not hard or that time consuming.
