Ah I’ve just figured out, it’s defined by where the stop/start guide is put in the DAW as SD3 is set to follow host. Of course *face palm*!!
Thanks, I’ve a follow up question!
I have a sequence of blocks in the Song Tool at the bottom of SD3. I find that when I hit spacebar, it reverts to playing the start of the very first block, even if I have played from the start of the third block the last time (by dragging the timeline and clicking option + spacebar).
I understand that spacebar can be useful to re-audition a block. How do I get it to replay from a position that isn’t at the very start of the Song e.g. start of the fourth block? I’ve tried dragging the timeline thing – it doesn’t set where spacebar plays from.
Thanks Shootie, great to know. I have a q. that dovetails from your response if that’s alright:
I found that deactivating the MIDI in the Ableton track (by clicking 0 on it) and then clicking ‘Follow Host’ within the EZD3 grid editor worked for me.
Edit: It was actually mostly about clicking ‘Follow Host’. If I don’t deactivate the MIDI in the Ableton track, it plays both the drums within the grid editor and the drums of the Ableton track I believe.
That’s a shame, but good to know. There is definitely something lost to the sound when routing in EZDrummer, which makes me not want to route and tweak individual hits with effects. I find this limiting, but I ‘m guessing Superior Drummer would be better set up for individual treatment of the various elements of the kit.
I think it would be nice if all of the bus processing could be maintained in EZDrummer after multichannel routing though.
Thanks John, that’s very helpful.
Re the ‘Seq Hits’, this articulation sounds like an edge hit to me. Am I correct in understanding that the idea for the Seq Hit articulation is that for each hit of it, it will select from a spread of different samples, rather than repeat the one sample?
I tested the Seq Hits out and found that it varied from kit to kit. Do some kits offer more samples for the Seq Hits to choose from? For instance, I couldn’t tell if the Modern Basic kit was playing just the one sample or a few samples that sounded similar for its Seq Hits. The Seq Hits effect was more noticeable on other kits for me.
The selection of which sample plays for the Seq Hits hit seems to be at random, even after MIDI has been recorded. Is this correct?
Also, it’s my understanding that the Open hits going from 1 to 5 go from least open to most open hi-hat, rather than from less firmly struck to more firmly struck. Please correct if this is wrong.
It’s good to know that the last three options in the Articulations menu are for e-drum modules.
Thanks,
Austin
