Near as I can figure SDX’s aren’t much about individual drummers and their kits. They’re more general kits that go with genre’s than the drummers themself.

Take it easy. It’s just a forum and not real life so nothing to get angry about. I do agree that it was a sexist comment though even if in jest.

Who’s angry? Just stating the way I feel about the way the OP has posted here. Should be respectful and the OP sure wasn’t. Sexist is sexist no matter if it was in jest or not.

If he is he has a very strange way of putting things. I can recognize sarcasm and what he writes isn’t that. He needs to take a deep breath and lose the ‘tude (as well as read the freakin’ manual). I don’t suffer fools gladly.

The title even says can’t find xdrums. Maybe it should read why gas xdrums been replaced with an inferior add instrument as it causes confusion. I too liked being able to position xdrums where I wanted them.

He can’t find xdrums because they no longer exist. Like I said if he had bothered to read the manual he’d have known that.

This upgrade has not been a good experience.  I have no use for superior 3. I’m literally installing superior 2 on the new rig. It’s much much better in many ways aside from the improved plugins.

There has not been any heart and soul put into this grid editor at all and for me is not usable. It’s not even close.

Another suggestion for improvement aside from a color coded lines wit strikes as the color per line, as well as a better shaded and multi level contrast outline grid for the beats, and putting in two or three permanent rows for the hi-hat so at least one row of closed with drop down, one row of medium and/or open is always present as well.   But this editor needs whey better integration with the midi tracks and clips of the host.

But aside from that, removing those x-drum is a major letdown. Especially when a person wants an intelligently layed out pads for the electronic drums in the correct physical locations which serve as a reminder for the keyboard in a natural way.

In addition, why is the midi learn function so obscure hidden in a tiny menu and drop down.

Buddy, this is not a good situation! Lol

I find the MIDI learn quite easy to use. And I’ve used a bunch of different plugins that all have different MIDI learn systems. You have to learn how to adapt to change – if this 70 y/o can then a relative youngun should be able to.

I didn’t mean it in a sexist way, I meant it in a way where it seems like people who don’t enjoy what they are doing in the career role have contributed to certain crucial ‘department’s of this release which is to me in its entirety is not as useful to me as is superior 2.

And you didnt read what i wrote.  There is no X-drums. It got changed to Add instrument and there is just a box at the left with the drum. it doesnt allow you to drag the pad like it was a proper X-Drum hex pad before to make it Intelligibly Layed out.

The midi layout of the keyboard is now vertical not horizontal. Why change it? why not just add the option to make it vertical as opposed to altering it completely.

But the biggest mistake here is the X-drum layout being gone.

I DID read what you wrote and responded accordingly. The way you wrote your question made it seem like you didn’t read the manual. You never acknowledged in your original post that ‘add instrument’ replaced x-drums. You could have saved yourself a lot of aggravation if you had downloaded the manual BEFORE purchasing SD3. I did.

And you still haven’t explained where you are seeing a piano keyboard.

Maybe you didn’t mean your post to come across as sexist but that’s the way it reads.

If you read the manual for SD3 you’ll find out that what used to be called X-drums is now ‘Add Instrument’. Check page 33 or thereabout for how to add an instrument.

Where are you seeing piano keys in SD3? The MIDI mapping perhaps? If that’s it then vertical takes up much less space than a horizontal layout. If that’s not it please explain where you are seeing them.

While male I do NOT appreciate the sexist comments about hiring a woman to make decisions. That kind of language has no place here. You may want to try reading the documentation before going off on a rant.

Does it load up OK or do you get an error?

Loads okay for me.

And good to see you here as well Brad. I do know that screen name quite well. I’m moving up from BFD 3; am loving what SD3 can do. The drumjack52 screen name I use here is a holdover from when I was one of the original members of Drumeo.

No offense. But making me type in a path is like from 1987. I don’t know how to express the path to my screenshot and what it’s size is etc. I mean cmon. This shouldn’t be this hard guys. Yes I did what the other response said but those libraries aren’t there that’s why I want to send you a screenshot   Is there really no where I can email it?

How to express as you say it the path to your screenshot is easy. Make the screen shot and save it to your desktop. Then in Finder find the path, copy it and then paste it in the box in the window. Or do a ‘get info’ on the screenshot and the path is in the ‘general’ section of the info window with the line titled “Where’. You don’t need to put in a size. Just the path and the title to the screenshot. It’s not the easiest thing but not the most difficult thing either; really pays to know one’s way around the operating system (in this case OSX).

There’s no way to email it.

There’s plenty of people who put screenshots in their posts so it’s not impossible – just takes a little bit of work and patience.

What do you mean by ‘weird popup box’? In the ‘source’ slot in the popup box you put in the path to the images on your computer and then follow through with the rest of the procedure. Did you do what Olof said to do?

Simple way would be to delete the existing SD3 instance on the target track and then option-drag the SD3 instance with the edited grooves to the track that has/had the second SD3 replacing the existing instance. Things become a  bit more complicated if the kits are different in each. I’d make a kit preset (if you haven’t already) of the kit that’s in the second SD3 track then do the dance I describe in my first sentence and then recall the kit preset.

You must have a screaming system to be able to run two SD3 instances (lots of ram or streaming from a fast SSD) at one time.

If there is I’ve not found it. A mouse only has one velocity to it unlike a drum pad so you only get one level. The only thing I’ve found that changes IS the mixer channels or the output slider.

Hi there. The built in ones

Should be there as they’re part of the core library. Is SD3 pointed to the location of the core library?
