UPDATE TO MY ISSUE:

What I did not do originally, was the environment set-up as explained in the manual. It said the reason to do this is to avoid triggering other midi channels. But up to this point, it didn’t matter since I was just trying to get it to sync at all (I was not using any other instruments so I didn’t think it was an issue). Once I did the environment set-up, it pretty much syncs fine now (although it would be nice to be able to have the play button in EZ Player effect Logics transport). But there is another problem…..

On occasion it will miss the first drum hit when cycling back to the beginning of the groove. And once it a while it will fall out of sync, but quickly fixes its self. This is ONLY when playing a groove from the browser. When the groove is placed on a logic track, it works perfectly.

It this a bug or is there something I can do to fix it?

Thanks-
Anthony

Anders,
Thanks for the info. I was not aware of that program. That is EXACTLY what I am looking for. I’ll make that purchase today!!

I just saw that it does come with SD2. I can’t believe I’ve been missing out. Thanks again for the tip.

Jeremy,
That is correct. I want the groove player to sync with my hose play/stop functions But I don’t think I have EZ Player. I thought they got rid of that with the newest version of Superior since the Groove section is now built into the Superior 2 program window. But I’ll check to see if I do have that later on tonight.

Jeremy,
Thanks for the reply, and I’ll check that out a little later today. But I’m pretty sure it does not do exactly what I am looking for. What BFD does: it will lock its groove timeline in with your DAW playhead. For example: I’ll record a bar worth of a guitar part in Logic to a click. Then in BFD I can click on different grooves to audition how they sound with my guitar part (while looped) at any time, keeping the groove in sync with the Logic playhead (and my guitar part). This way, you don’t have to drag a groove into your track to see if you like how it matches up with your part. I hope that makes sense….

That said, even if SD does not have that function, I still like it much better than BFD for many reasons. Its not that hard to move the groove to your track, but the audition of grooves to a looped section is really cool in BFD2. I hope they consider this function into SD someday….
