    So, the Toontrack ads for Superior 3 state that:

    “Yes! All SDX libraries will function as usual in Superior Drummer 3. Additionally, they have all been updated with new graphics for the Superior Drummer 3 format. After Superior Drummer 3 has been launched, you will find relevant updates in the Toontrack Product Manager.”

    I seriously think Toontrack should honor their words and commitments!

    I keep reading references to Superior 3. Is there a ball park release date guess…like in 2014 or later…something? I like the features added to EZDrummer 2 but I don’t want to buy it and find out I have to pay AGAIN for an upgrade to Superior 3 when it comes out right around the corner with the same features.

    Yes, it does. The full product does not. I suggest you try it on
    some other computer that sits on the internet.

    Really, that’s your answer? I would like to test the MIDI out from EZDrummer 2 into Superior Drummer within my DAW. My DAW is not on any network. So, I have a demo that can only be tested in stand alone mode on a networked PC…yeah, not too excited about that answer.

    My DAW is NOT on the internet and I do not plan on putting in on the internet. The demo requires an internet connection to activate…HELP!

    Can I use EZDrummer 2 to construct my drums and simply have the MIDI out go directly to SD2 to trigger SD2 drum sounds?

    SD2 users that buy EZD2 would probably do that mostly to
    get the new song writing MIDI functionality but EZD2 comes
    with two excellent new sound libraries that are not 16 bit.

    I won’t be one of them. The songwriting tools look cool but not enough to buy the entire ezd2 product for. That’s like buying a ford mustang but then having to buy a focus just to get the air conditioner

    EXACTLY!!!Frown

    Toontrack should create a way for superior owners to get the songwriting features even if its a purchase plug like ezplayer 2 or something. Those song features are great but it is not a rational path to also buy ezd when you have superior

    this is where I am now as well. I have Superior but not EZ. I’d love the the new song features/tapping etc but I would think tht at some point we’d have those available to us in superior. I mean isn’t Superior the “flagship” product? or am I mistaken

    Right. Now I can understand that these features took a lot of time and money to develop, and may be more than a S2 update. This might be a great opportunity for Toontrack to come up with a new product. Along the basic lines of EZplayer (being a midi tool only not a sampler), except with the melodic songwriting features of Ezkeys and the Drum featuers of Ezdrummer 2.

    Maybe toontrack wants us to buy EZD2 also.. but I cant go that direction. I bought superior to have the best they have to offer. I don’t want to supplement that with EZD for just some of the features..

    I would probably pay a reasonable price for a S2 update that gets these features or for a seperate plug like I described.

    Agreed 100%

    Hey, thanks for the great review.  I went with Metal Foundry for now for several reasons.  First, I already have the disks and had already installed it before I realized I needed an additional license.  Second, I kinda like the snares and it’s pretty easy to change the pitch of each drum.  Third, it’s a little bit cheaper.

    It’s clearly been stated on the forum many times.
    And do you really think you get to own all the SDX’s for the price of one?

    Hehehe…I knew someone was going to respond with your exact answer and miss the point. First, I didn’t even know about this forum when I was doing the install…why would I? My point was that Toontrack could have created ONE install program to handle the basic install of Superior Drummer and the sound librarys. It would have been less confusing for sure. Second, no I did not expect to own all of the SDX’s for the price of one THAT’S why I was schocked to see all of the disk in the box. I thought there was some kind of crazy sale going on.

    I’m just suggesting that Toontrack create one menu driven install program to eliminate any confusion. And it would be nice to bundle and mark the disk stating that a license is required for each product. A first time user is not likely to visit the help forum BEFORE he actually needs help. Stating anything “clearly” on their forum does little good for someone that is not aware of the forum.
