Hah, thanks. It’s hard to stop buying SDXs…  So I have the trial version of Gig Performer and have started trying to set it up for SD3. I’m curious how you did it? First thing I notice is that I don’t see a way to dock the SD3 window inside of GP, it is always floating. I suppose that could work but I’m hoping not to have to manage windows and alt-tab live on stage between songs. And would you setup your SD3 presets as different buttons on a panel in a rackspace? If so, how do you assign each button to an SD3 preset?

Honestly can’t recall, as I was only using it on trial, like Cantabile, to help someone out with an issue.

However, I think there’s a few GigPerformer users on the forum, if you start a new thread with specific questions, my guess is someone using it will be able to help out.

This is my SD3 preset selection screen in Cantabile. I have a hot key on my laptop that I hit to pull this up, and clicking on one loads it. The top eight kits are preloaded, then the rest are sorted by quieter/smaller to louder/bigger sounding kits, with weird specialty stuff at the bottom, and each color is a different SDX. SoundWorks by DW also in here.

I probably have too many presets, but I had all the Roland flagship modules (TD-10 through TD-50X) that had a limit, so it’s nice to break through that barrier and have a really large pallet.

Hello, I’m using SD3 within Pro Tools and I have noticed that SD3 0utputs 1&2 are fine, but if I assign a drum to any other of the internal outputs

it introduces significant latency against the Pro Tools click track.

Please advise. Thank you.

Try posting this in the SD3 section, you may get more response. Are you saying it produces more latency for just those new aux channels? Are there plugins you are using on those channels.

Correct me where I’m wrong please.

You cannot not transfer the Core Pack or Mix Packs to another HD and then reconnect them. It seems you must delete/uninstall them. And then reinstall with the Project Manager to be prompted for a new hard drive location.

Thought this was interesting since the other products have a way to reconnect to their libaries and also have a dialog in the settings for it. And that the Product Manager will not help with managing Library Paths after initial install.

Sorry Shootie, didn’t see you way out here in EZMix territory. Correct, EZMix is a different beast, even though the core EZMix settings are actually contained in a file, there’s no way to “point” the plugin/application to it like you can to sample libraries in other products.

I suppose you could post it in the “Suggestions” forum.

The loading of samples also depends on which form of sampleloading is chosen in SD3. (Full, cached . . .)

The preloding in GigPerformer works quite well. You can choose how much scenes in your show are preloaded. I’ve chosen 3, so it preloads one scene before and one scene after the current scene that is loaded. This depends on the amount of ram you are using. The bigger your RAM the more scenes can be preloded. You can switch between scenes with no loadinglatency.

Yes, I tested GigPerformer out while I was trying to determine why Cantabile won’t do the same thing. Must be some bit that GigPerformer sets that Cantabile doesn’t that triggers SD3 to run.

Bonjour,

Hi Tom, You worked out the issue with Cantabile not preloading kits then, great!

Unfortunately no. When Cantabile is started it says it is preloading, but you have to load the presets yourself before they are. Not sure why. So before my first set at a gig I just step through the kits I want in memory and then switching between them the rest of the night is instant.

That’s too bad and my experience while trying to debug the problem ended with the same result. I thought maybe Cantabile had figured out how to trigger SD3 to load on startup.

Is there a way to delete a bar in the grid editor or move the remaining bars ahead one bar? I can remove the notes in the bar I don’t need but I can’t figure out how to delete it or take the remaining bars and move forward one bar. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,

It’s software so there’s multiple ways, this is the way I do it, YMMV. I don’t delete or move sections in grid editor, opting to instead perform operations like that in the EZD3 track section. You can zoom in, use the scissor tool to separate sections, delete them or move them around.

Hope this helps.

Hi Brad,

Appreciate your input.

I do use TT Product Manager (I am not aware of any other way to download SD3 or EZD3 files). And, yes, I do use the “Clean Up” button when downloads are complete.

I have no issues contacting TT support to see if they can help me download just the needed (corrupt) files. But, I will keep campaigning to get TT to use file names, download protocols and UI and UX practices that give the users more control. BFD3 (buggy as it may be) allows a lot of control of what the user wants in or out in the library. The library menu structuring and filtering is miles beyond TT’s “you’ll see what we tell you you’ll see”. To be fair, TT’s individual drum replacement system is pretty good. Allowing the user to determine what they see and how they structure the kit/preset menus is non-existent.

I just started re-downloading the Basic Sound Library… at last glance, just 19hrs and 10mins to go, Yippie!!

Thank you again for your thoughtful input!!

19 hours… yikes I feel your pain, I just downloaded Drumpolis and have somewhat fast fibre link and it still took the good part of an evening.

Hi there,

So a couple things I will ask. Do you use Toontrack Product Manager? If yes, do you use the “Clean Up” button? If not then you should still have the original download files. Which means you can reinstall without downloading.

Second, have you contacted Toontrack Support? They might be able to assist getting you the files. You may feel you shouldn’t need to do that, I’m just throwing what little I know out there.
