You probably won’t need to make maps for other kits and libraries if the output from Jamstix is consistent. The only variations you might make are for hi-hats and cymbals. Exceptions may be libraries like the FoR Percussion.

Ahh… you’re trying to map to Superior Drummer.  Have you checked on your DAW’s forum?

Yes I realize that. I also own this SDX. However, you stated that you are looking for drum maps for Superior Drummer 3. Again, what are you mapping Superior Drummer to? A controller? Player?

Let’s call it for what it is in Logic: Piano Roll. it is fantastic for everything keyboards, but totally convoluted for anything drums. The various tools fall short as far as drums go. There are far better MIDI editing tools suited for drums within Logic, but they fall short of being organic. They are more for drum machine type programming.

Once Superior Drummer 3 was introduced in 2017, I Kissed three Decades of using Logic’s editors for drums and moved everything to the grid editor in SD3 and never looked back. EZ Drummer 3 took things a bit further for me, and I find myself moving back-and-forth between the two. Even when I am working with the Session Players in Logic, I will bring the drum parts into EZ Drummer to do custom editing. The tools are far more expansive and intuitive. Huge. O thanks in doing in Logic again.

What are you trying to map Superior Drummer to in this case?

Indeed, I would agree that you should spend wisely. If Logic has exactly what you need then go with it. I’ve used the percussion in Logic for a number of songs before getting Latin Cuban Percussion.

However, seeing as you asked me why I like Latin Cuban percussion, I will gladly offer my brain droppings on it. Of course, keep in mind that anything I say is subjective. I would go as far as to say that it is not even about why I would think it is better than Latin Percussion, But more like why I Like  Latin Cuban Percussion overall.

aside from Latin Cuban, Percussion, being newer, I have a benchmark with it that I don’t have with the other EZX  ToonTrack made a video recorded at Sear Studio in which they intermixed a real life performance with the expansion and I like the way the expansion played in the same way that Richie Flores was hitting the instruments. That was the first thing that got me. I’ve used this expansion in a couple of songs and I love the way it cuts through the mix. I have a song coming up for release that uses this expansion and I love how it sounds. It is very dynamic, and I found out it gave the song a real lift. Just for reference, I used it in a pop/songwriter type of groove using the Session Players in Logic. I feel that it really shined.

Circling back to the First paragraph, I usually buy my expansions in bundles. Seeing as I can buy three expansions for the price of two. I bought this along with Both Signatures expansions. These three expansions are my most used with EZ Drummer. Quite often, I will use them together.

hope the above sheds, a little light into my madness.

I think the trials only referred to the main program itself, and not expansions.

However, if I were to recommend an expansion along the percussion line, it would be the Latin Cuban percussion EZX.

Ghost perhaps. However, they don’t appear by themselves in Logic. The biggest clues are more in its occurrence. Are you hearing the Toms in the same spot on the timeline? If so, there is a midi region somewhere in your project.

The only real way in Logic that this can happen is if you specify set your EZ Drummer to receive MIDI information from another track. I highly doubt this is the case in this particular situation since you would have to set it specifically on the instrument track. It is most likely on the instrument track.

You might have had a hidden instrument MIDI track in Logic that was triggering EZ Drummer.  Hard to tell without seeing the project.

I love Shootie’s MIDI Speed Dating technique to the point where I’ve stolen it. 😀

Proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Select the Edit Visibility in the Mixer tab and then click on Hide for any channels you don’t want to see.
