They shouldn’t snap to the grid. That would be very inhuman.

Thanked by: BradThen, I have to ask the question: if you believe that they won’t read the email then what makes you believe that they will read whatever is on a webpage? There are numerous forum posts that illustrate this example.

There is a set of initial instructions that ToonTrack provides either when you purchase or in an email after purchase is complete. It specifically states to download and install the product manager. I believe it also provides a link.
I would say that from there, the product manager pretty much guides the user as to what needs to be done.

Thanked by: Scott, Scott Eshleman and BradI’m with Shootie on this, even if he got autocorrected into calling me Jorge (don’t edit it). 😀
glad you’re up and running. Don’t worry… I’ve done the pencil thang once too often.

If you are pressing your mouse or trackpad button while dragging, it should lasso the notes that were triggered by your device and mark the notes as selected. The selection should appear as highlighted notes as opposed to the notes that look like a simple diamond on the grid. From there you should be able to copy/paste or drag your selection.

Standard Mac commands apply for copying and pasting. You can also drag and drop on the grid editor. Edit Play Styles is all graphical so just turn some knobs and drag indicators.

Brad mentions a number of good packs. In addition, there are groove packs such as Roots if you have existing expansions packs.

If you’re programming your groove within EZ Drummer, you can select Edit Play Style and if it is showing a Power Hand, drag it to the ride cymbal and adjust the amount of notes and velocity to taste.

Shakers are a future hit instrument. They are usually added using either Edit Play Style or dragging a groove part onto an existing groove.

Jack, you are advocating for the wrong reasons and it is almost to the point of a strawman argument.
However, to entertain it, the only reason it is not that easy to implement is because the OP is trying to implement it in a matter in which it was never designed for. It doesn’t matter how good the samples are. Superior Drummer is not a sampler. It is mainly a player for its own instruments. User samples don’t provide a number of the benefits that Superior Drummer has to offer such as bleed, and multiple mix channels. Superior Drummer is being made into nothing more than a glorified Roland R-8.
I have terabytes of well recorded samples and hyper samples. That in no way means that they are meant to be played in Superior Drummer. I have far better software instruments that allow me to set up those samples within five minutes. I can get a far faster and better result using something like Logic’s Drum Desiger. That is what plugins like that are meant for.
I think ToonTrack has made a clear mandate with Superior Drummer and its primary purpose. You can put in feature requests but I’m sure ToonTrack will weigh them against their mandate.
Now if you were advocating for easier sample handling across multiple articulations for the purposes of stacking upon a particular kit piece, that is a far different story.

For how you are using it I heavily agree with Mark. Superior Drummer is not a multi zone sampler and its feature set was designed so that you could import one or two samples to either stack on an existing kit piece or create some sort of electronic drum machine. What you are doing can be described as more of a poor man’s drum kit. For what you want to do, you should’ve been using something like Kontakt or even the Sampler in your DAW (Logic Pro 11 has a multi-zone sampler). The price of Superior Drummer has zero bearing in this case.

Thanked by: Mark KingDid you run the installer via the product manager after downloading them? Superior Drummer won’t see the libraries until they have been installed.
