drumjack52Which library? Where are your samples loaded in your computer? Is your problem really MIDI or is it audio? In a daw or standalone?

drumjack52Reminds me of the good ol’ days when Apple pushed an update and all of a sudden BFD was blocked. It taught me to let everyone else update first and observe for a little while. It will be interesting, however, when I pick up a new laptop next month, since they all come with Sonoma installed.

Had an Apple security update brick my daw a few years back. Like you say – wait until others have experience with it. Unless things have changed you can backdate to a previous MacOS if the computer you’re getting came out before Sonoma came out. IOW if your new machine came out after Sonoma was released you can’t backdate. It’s not date of purchase but date of release of the computer model that matters.

drumjack52Hi,
if you run the latest software updater, click ‘Customise’ and make sure ‘Superior Drummer standalone application’ is checked. Does it still not show up in the ‘Applications/Toontrack’ folder?
BR,
JohnHi John,
On my one of my test systems with Sonoma, Product Manager wouldn’t install any products. I’d press the install button and nothing would happen. I did get SD3 , EZD3, EZBass and EZKeys installed, just not with PM. Perhaps an issue with Rosetta? I don’t recall being asked to install it when i attempted a software install from PM.

And this is a perfect example of not living on the bleeding edge because those that do are doomed to get cut by it. It’s good to wait until all developers get their ducks in a row before moving forward. And don’t forget to ALWAYS have a backup although from what I understand Apple has made it almost impossible to do a clone of a system anymore.

Thanked by: Braddrumjack52It worked fine on Sonoma the 1st time I installed it. But then I moved the large files to an External drive. It still worked fine, but then I moved something else ( don’t Remember what ) then it didn’t work.
I tried many times after that, but could never get it to work. So I deleted everything and installed it all over again to the default directory. This all went fine, then went into the Toontrack folder in Applications, but there was no Superior Drummer 3 in the Toontrack Folder. If I could just install that file I could launch it. Don’t know why it wasn’t there.
Anyway, thanks for your help Maybe you could give me the correct way to reinstall again, Ron

You really should pay attention to what John linked to. They recommend NOT using SD3 on Sonoma at this point in time. That it worked for you only means you were lucky. Now – not so much. Sometimes it takes a while before developers can get things working with a new OS.

drumjack52SD3 is inside a folder named Toontrack which is in your Applications folder. That is if you installed to the default directory the installer puts stuff in. I don’t know if SD3 is qualified for Sonoma yet as that only dropped a few days ago.

I’ve already given you the path I use – your’s should be similar. You just need to put the rest of the puzzle together yourself. Use logic and make the necessary changes yourself.

drumjack52Do you know of any videos showing how to build a kit with external triggers and midi assigning each pad ?
I appreciate all your help so far, I am just stuck on this.

No I don’t. You’d have to do the same thing I would have to do and that’s to Google for an answer. I can’t do all your homework for you.

drumjack52apparently not. I just searched in my folders. I could be wrong, because some of the folders hide from me.

To give you an idea of the path here is what it is for me – keep in mind that I also have the Death and Darkness library which is split into 2 libraries and that my samples are on the own drive called Samples:
Samples/Toontrack/SL-SuperiorDrummer3
In that final folder you’ll find all kinds of SD3 stuff and a folder called Sounds which has (or should have) all the .obw files for SD3.

drumjack52Glad you found a solution. Making a kit from scratch is what I ended up doing. Yamaha documentation isn’t easy to follow as what one needs is all over the manual in different places and following the trail is a nightmare. Then again Yamaha docs have never been child’s play.

Thanked by: lostluredrumjack52You have to watch what the DTXM12 is sending as some of the internal kits send more than one note on message at the same time to trigger different sounds at the same time. Some are separated by velocity. Wading through the Yamaha documentation is a real pain – I know because I have the M12 and have had other Yamaha synths. Sorry but you’re going to have to slog through Yamaha’s docs to see what’s sending what. I set up a kit that sends just one specific note on per pad – no velocity tricks or layers. Wasn’t easy. Would have been nice of ToonTrack to do a MIDI preset for the M12.
You don’t say what operating system you’re on (you really should as it’s easy here) but when diagnosing MIDI issues I usually say to grab a free MIDI monitor utility. For Mac users that’s snoize and Windows user should get MIDI-OX. Run it standalone and see what’s coming out of the M12 when connected to your computer.

Thanked by: lostluredrumjack52it’s all installed in Logic Pro X and a standalone app

You misunderstood the question: are the samples all installed in the same folder? They don’t get installed into the folder (Applications on a Mac) that holds Logic. Or at least they shouldn’t. I have my samples installed in a folder that’s on a separate drive that holds all my samples.

drumjack52Thanks. I’ll retry setting up the whole routing. One question: after the correct routing has been accomplished I should only hear the kick, Tom’s, hi-hat, etc on each Pro Tools track? With absolutely no bleed from other tracks? Only kick on kick. Only hi-hat on hi-hat and so forth? Even on the overhead tracks I should only hear cymbals? Of course, unless the bleed feature is activated.
Thank You!
What you hear in the overheads depends on the library. Traditional overheads in a drum kit can hear just about everything – cymbals, toms, snare, and maybe even a little of the kick drum. That’s what that micing is designed to do – get an overall view of the kit.
