Using Superior Drummer 3 with Session player feature in Logic Pro

[RDCmusicCanada]

Are there any videos available to show how to use session player with Superior Drummer 3?

The new Logic drummer  “Session” program works great to edit and different fills, intensity etc…. but the kits with Logic aren’t nearly as good as Superior Drummer 3… So I’d like to use all the functions of Logic Drummer session but with the Superior Drummer 3..

Any videos or how to’s out there?

There’s no need for a video. Grab the Session Player maps within the Superior Drummer forum (may have to do a search) and load an Superior Drummer 3 instrument track in Logic Pro 11.  Session Player regions can be used on any instrument track in Logic.

I am currently experimenting with this. The mapping isn’t always spot on. I am currently trying to play a pattern in Session drummer (‘King’s Mountain’) with a State of the Art kit, called Jeffrey’s room. I am certain that when I play a ride pattern, there is a rimshot added where there should be a hi-hat pedal sound or something.
How does this work. I am fairly new. Are midimappings always custom made depending on what library or drum-kit you load? Or are there general settings or default settings for SD3 and or SSD5?

Yes, you can do this without using Logic’s built-in drum sounds. Create a Superior Drummer 3 instrument track in Logic and use the Session Player MIDI regions on that track. You may also need the correct Session Player MIDI map from the Toontrack forum so the drum hits trigger the right SD3 instruments. This discussion explains the setup: https://www.toontrack.com/forums/topic/using-superior-drummer-3-with-session-player-feature-in-logic-pro/

For a more detailed video-based approach, check out this tutorial on mapping Logic Drummer MIDI to third-party drum libraries, including Superior Drummer 3: https://youtu.be/oCrZYcBz32E

Seeing as the above link points back to this thread, here is the correct link for the session player maps.
