    It sounds like you 90% there then. I will summarize the setup bits as I assume you already have it done. Any questions you can add to the thread and I can answer them.
    1) Setup the keyboard as an external device. (In Studio One)
    2) create an instrument track and insert SD3
    3) Make sure you have at least Monitor selected on instrument track in Studio One with SD3 inserted; (the little speaker next to record arm on the track)
    3.1) You can select record as well with the same results.
    4) Open SD3 and Make sure “Follow Host” is selected in the SD3 transport.
    5) To make things easier, select “Click in Play” in the Studio One metronome settings.
    6) In the SD3 transport record arm the track (Stop/Start recording MIDI is what the contextual help calls it)
    7) In Studio One, press “Play”…..
    8) start tapping your keyboard.

    There is one gotcha, as the recording starts when you hit play, it’s hard to get that first beat in bar 1. Studio One doesn’t seem to want to apply pre count when playing, only when recording. So in cases like this I usually start on the second bar and everything lines up OK.

    Also SD3 adheres to MIDI merge so, you can record your snare for example and then go back and record the kick, hats, etc… and it will merge with the existing MIDI.

    Let me know if this helps….  

    Yup – you helped me figure out exactly how to do what I was trying to do – thanks a lot! The gotcha is not an issue for me – I hit play and am typically just doing a couple bars and when it loops back to the fist click, I hit it (kick, or whatever) and of course the grid editor is great for fixing things that are off (and making drums sound sterile if you go to far!).

    So you’ve done your good deed today – again, thanks a million!

    I use a Nektar LX88 keyboard with Studio One 4 and SD3 all the time. I have to ask do you want to create the MIDI in an instrument track within Studio One or in SD3 in the editor, either way I have experience with.  

    Awesome – thanks for helping! I want to create the midi track in SD3 in the editor playing the keyboard instead of my mouse. I can’t figure out how to hear the drums using the keyboard while recording (or when not recording too) in the editor.

    Note that this “problem” is when using SD3 as a plugin in Studio One. When I use SD3 in stand alone mode, I can do exactly what I am trying to do.

    Again, thanks!

    … “follow host” is turned on. Of course when I save the song I have it off but for every song, every time I open it, I have to go into SD3 and disable follow host.
    Is there any way to turn this default off? I realize this is not a huge issue to do this every time but it would be convenient.

    There seems to be a bug that doesn’t save the Follow Host state with the superior 3 project. I will take a note of this, since when you save your project in your DAW, the state of Follow Host should be saved too…

    To set a default state of SD3 (what it should look like when you every time you start it), set up SD3 as you want, go to File menu and select “Set as Default Project”. The next time SD3 is started, it will load that default project.

    Thanks for the report!  

    Hi Henrik – I already tried this and even when my default has follow host off, when I save that and restart the song, follow host is on. Thanks!

    just wondering…and purely for my own information,
    on what occasion(s) would someone not want SD3 to follow the host?  

    Interesting! Maybe I do things differently, but I put all the SD3 midi’s into my DAW track(s) so I never have SD3 follow the host. Everything is in the host.

    Hi John – as I noted initially, I can use Sup D fine. This is one of those issues that bugs me, but doesn’t seem to affect things in any significant way. It’s one of many computer issues I’ve encountered over many years that will remain unanswered! I’ll mark this as answered, and thanks again for trying to solve this. Doug

    Hi John – are you still thinking about my question above? Note that I did answer your last suggestion. Thanks!

    Hi John – I did that and it shows it installed and ready to use. So after that I opened the Prod Man as I typically would as a “standard user” and it shows it downloaded but not installed. Just FYI, the Avatar Lib and Toontrack Solo that came with Sup2 did install normally. Thanks for helping. Doug

    Wow – I’m new to EZD2 and I never thought of this. I’ve been listening to the midi pack samples at the website and have bout a 6 pack, but this is much better – thanks! Doug

    In case anyone sees this, I was able to get this fixed with the help of the Mixcraft forum.
