Petter,  the detach mixer tab from the View menu does work, although it still has that weird mouse menu lag.  But clicking the detach icon on the mixer tab does not detach UNLESS I expand the Logic plugin header button in the upper right corner (I normally keep it collapsed for more visual space).  I posted about this previously.  I feel better knowing someone at Toontrack has reported this off to Apple and was able to validate my issues.  🤣

I can confirm, running Logic 12.0.1 in Rosetta resolves all the issues I have been seeing with MacOS Tahoe.  This includes:

• Mouse lag or selecting items in menus automatically
• Being able to detach the mixer window
• Slow typing when saving a preset

The one big downside to running in Rosetta mode is the Logic Stem Splitter will not function, so for me, I will continue to use it in Silicon mode and jsut deal with the issues.  Let’s hope Apple can fix this.

Is there anyway for Toontrack engineers to inform the Apple engineers of these problems?  Because you know when we do this with support, they will pass the blame to Toontrack saying it’s a them problem, and around and around we go. Here’s to hoping it can eventually get resolved.

Operating system: macOS Tahoe (26)

I don’t think the issue is with SD3 but more so Logic (assuming you are using this) and MacOS Tahoe (based off your system specs in your signature).  There is this post kinda talking about that. . .

I’m not seeing this behaviour in Logic either. I’m using a standard Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad and both work as expected.

You might want to check your Gestures as well as Accessibility as John suggested.

If it was gesture or mouse related, wouldn’t the problem happen on both plugin & standalone?  Are you on MacOS 26.02 and Logic 12?

I will respectfully disagree with your assessment in my case.  Never had the issue before upgrading to Tahoe.  I am running a Mac Mini M1 with 16gb of ram, wired Logitech mouse & keyboard.  This issue can happen with a brand new Logic Pro project with no tracks or plugins running (except SD3) with a very small drum preset loaded.  I really think it’s the plugin communication within Logic as in standalone I have no issues.  I don’t think it’s anything wrong on Toontrack’s side and I’ve contemplated going back to Sequoia but just don’t feel like going through the hassle.

I have over 35 years in IT and know when it’s system resources vs. coding/compatibility.

Yes! I too have this problem but I’ve been dealing with it. Also when saving a preset, the text types very slowly.  I am thinking Tahoe is to blame.

Which eDRUMin do you have?  The 4, 8, 10, or 12?  If it’s any except for the 4, have you tried linking the modules through each other using the HOST USB port?

I had this same questions many years ago.  Check out the response below (ref:)

From my understanding, you can’t.  The two applications are not cross compatible with projects but SD3 is compatible with EZX libraries only.   Another user was able to figure out how to use ezd3 presets into SD3 and you can find that here.

The best thing you can do is export the MIDI out of your EZD3 project, import it into SD3, then call up that EZX library and preset.

Ok, I actually figured this out tonight!  When the Logic Pro plugin header is collapsed, I cannot detach the mixer or tracker tabs; only the grooves tab.  But when, I expand the Logic Pro plugin header to it’s default state, I can detach all tabs like normal.

Side question, not related to SD3, but anyone know why I have an orange dot on my expand and collapse plugin header button.  My searches come up empty.

For all the time I’ve been using SD3 I never knew this was possible.

Oh this is a feature I use heavily!  Especially when auditioning other instruments and tweaking their bleeds in the mixer, game changer!  Hopefully Toontrack can resolve this in upcoming patches.

Yea, I don’t think anyone is going to be able to help you because I also get the missing samples on those particular instruments.

Look at the Hitmaker SDX. There is a reggae punk kit preset that has the Synchronicity album vibe.
