I used the included grooves and some others to sample the kits. I’m quite happy with the purchase. And I agree this is good for genres other than jazz.

Now I have to decide on 2 more kits to complete a 3 pack bundle. I’m considering Hitmaker, Stockholm and Stories. Decades was at the top of the list prior to this release, though the Soul & Tight Pop kits are still tempting.

Go for hitmaker (for the best snares) and stories, Stockholm is not as detailed

I went with Stories. Great sound and the added percussion was too tempting.

I did notice Stockholm is a much smaller download than the others. The electronic kits in Hitmaker would be useful. I think all those toms I would never use are a slight turn off.

I’m considering waiting to see what the next release will be, but I’ll likely jus grab Hitmaker and hope Toontrack doesn’t release the R&B/Soul/Neo-Soul/Funk SDX I’ve been hoping for.

I was wondering the same. I just had to dig out an old drive for the Jazz Sessions download because I don’t have enough room on my main. With enough room on my external sample drive for the expansion, an option for a direct install would’ve been nice.

I’m not sure how many of the bass lines mimic a John Pettruci solo that might cause this problem but even if there are some chromatic runs starting on the root and ending on a perfect 4th and you really need that Lydian sound in the bass; can’t you adjust it yourself?

Doesn’t have to be a complex solo. A walking jazz line has extended chord tones.

Of course we could make adjustments. Some of us can also play/program entire lines ourselves. Then there are those that want the software to provide lines with extended chords. There are singers and non bass playing musicians that just want the software to lay down some lines with little to no fuss.

I used to play bass and am still serviceable on it. But I got EZbass to do most of this work for me. Sure, I make adjustments when needed. But having to add extended/leading tones to an entire track defeats the (expected) purpose.

Hi @Bezo winZ.

Did you every find an answer or solution to this problem?

My attempted fix was using Studio One’s Chorder to translate, but Toontrack ignores it when using the song track. 2 very odd “features”.

Thank you

No, I believe I was told to submit a feature request as this is intended behavior.

The next update, which is not far away, will fix it so that setting a parameter to the same value that it already has does nothing. Thanks for reporting the issue. It’s been like this for quite long I think, maybe since 3.2.8 or 3.3.0.

No, there’s no way to remove/disable all macros at once.

Looking forward to that update then.

Thanks!

BEST ANSWER

Thanks. I see what is happening – the parameter values are getting reapplied. If you unbind the macro controls that change pitch, the pitch should stay as intended when the project is loaded.

I probably should’ve asked how to unbind macros before I did anything, but I was anxious to fix this. For this preset, I opened each macro “menu” and removed the listed property. Seemed to work.

Is there an efficient way to remove/disable ALL macros from presets? Some of my presets are tweaked versions of Toontrack presets, I guess some of which had macros. Since I don’t use them, and an a recent update is now causing parameter values to be reapplied, I need an efficient way to remove them all. Or will the next update fix what ever was broken?

Thanks! This was driving me crazy.

Hi,

Could you also upload the preset which fixes the sound, please, if it’s a user preset? “Phat One Tt”?

Preset “Phat One Tt” attached.

OK, that sounds really strange, almost like a sample rate / pitch change between the two versions. Can you ZIP the Studio One Project and attach here? Remove any other tracks, please.

BR,

Yes, very strange. I did check the amount of the loaded samples to make sure it wasn’t a case of samples missing. The amount of loaded MBs before and after reloading was the same.

The audio I linked was from a Cubase session. The zipped file with all other tracks removed is attached.

OK, audio files linked below.

After reloading kit – https://www.dropbox.com/s/xml9cxvtzxrn9yt/After.wav?dl=0

 

And this is happening in Studio One 5 as well, so it’s not just a SD3/Cubase issue. This seemed to start happening not after the most recent update, but the update just prior.

Also, I’ve since updated my OS to Monterey, 12.6.1 with the problem intact.

@John

No, I’m not using cache mode.

Muffled is probably not accurate. Dampened with softened attacks would be better. Attack samples missing maybe. I will try to get an audio example up later.

And just the markings are gone. I imagine the grooves were gone until I reinstalled them.
