It depends on exactly what you want to achieve. For the regular gate effect (drop volume when the snare volume drops down to a certain level) – use a gate in the mixer.
If you only want the stacked snare to have a gate, make sure that stack has its own mic channel in the mixer.

A similar effect can also be achieved by using the release setting in the Envelope and Offset property box. There the volume can be decreased after a certain amount of time, instead of a certain level.
In this case you can either select the entire snare, or only the stack, depending on what you want the envelope to affect.

The bounce function in Superior Drummer 3 uses the MIDI on Superior’s song track. To get it there you can either drag the MIDI from the host (if the host supports it), or record arm Superior Drummer 3 and play the MIDI in your host to get it to Superior’s song track.

I’ll ask the manual guys to take a look at the bounce area in the manual!

The zoom level wasn’t saved because of a bug. This is fixed and will be released in a coming update!

Correct 🙂

You access the folder for the presets by clicking “Open in Explorer” (“Finder” on Mac) in the menus.

Thanks for the feedback, it’s noted! You can drag your Tap2Find MIDI file to a User MIDI folder in the Grooves tab, to a separate Song Track, or just to your OS desktop for re-using later…

We haven’t yet implemented that feature in SD3. In the meantime you can right click a groove and “Copy”. Then right click a song block on the Song Track and “Paste >”. There you can select what parts to paste.
We have gotten some requests of this feature so we are looking into it!

I may be in the wrong place for this but….
I’m new to the world of Ezdrummer but I noticed that if I change the drum kit in Ezdrummer 2 say from standard to Vintage Dirty Rock and move that file to Logic Pro X, the new drum kit sound doesn’t come over to logic. Any idea of what I may be missing here?
Thanks  

I don’t follow you here… Do you set up your drumkit by using the standalone EZdrummer 2 (just starting it by itself) and wanting to use that setup in a Logic? In that case – save it as a project in the standalone and open that project in EZdrummer 2 in Logic.
You can also save it as a Preset (in the menu where you select libraries/preset) – that will save the drumkit and the Mixer. A project will save that, and the song track and other settings too…

It’s currently not possible, but we’ll look at this issue. Thanks for the feedback!

How on earth could I get my clap to sound with more than one articulation of the loaded snare?

Currently you have to add the same sample to all the articulations you want it to be stacked on, one by one. We have gotten requests of making this easier, and we’ll see what we can do about it!

@tihinter said:
What is that “CC/Triggers” part of the articulations menu? Sorry, I couldn’t find any info in the manual so far.

This is a special articulation, which triggers (plays) other articulations. What other articulation that it triggered depends on the CC value. A normal usage of this is for hardware e-drum kits that sends a CC value that depends of the openness of the hi-hat. If you don’t use an E-kit, nor have MIDI files with CC values, you won’t need those articulations and can just disregard them.

@tihinter said:
BTW, same goes with preset library sounds, like if I want a lower sounding snare drum underneath a highpitched one. How can I make sure that several selected articulations are loaded?

I don’t follow you on this question, can you clarify? 🙂

@tihinter said:
And one more thing: could you please make “Soft Hit Level” default at minimum for own audio sample imports, with the next SD3 update? My own sounds are always too undynamic and way too loud after import.

I noted this as a feature request.

@tihinter said:
And one last thing: It would be great to have a pre-liten function, while browsing though my own samples on my harddisc. I find it very annoying to first listen to the samples in a different player on my laptop, and then going back and scroll down through endless lists of wav files insinde SD3, looking for my sample.
nowadays.  

This has been requested before too, and we’ll look at this as well. In the meantime – you don’t have to scroll for the audio file in superior drummer 3. When you have found it by scrolling your hard drive, simply drag and drop it to the Drums tab of Superior Drummer 3!

Web Shop MIDI enables you to preview all Toontrack MIDI directly in the Grooves tab, and a link that takes you to the web page where you can buy it. The messages (“updating” etc) tells you what Superior Drummer 3 currently is doing with the online MIDI database 🙂 When it’s done you can see all the MIDI.

Unfortunately plugins (like Superior Drummer 3) can’t get information about what time signature the DAW is using. The only info they get is the tempo.

You can export the time signature from Logic and import it into Superior Drummer 3 so the time lines match up.

Try this:
In Superior Drummer 3 – select the hi-hat and start the playback from your DAW (Looks like Reaper).
During playback – open the Articulation drop down list in the top right part of drums tab in Superior Drummer 3. What articulations are being triggered? Does it change where you have marked your image in your added screenshot?

If it looks correct – can you try to disable the entire HIt Variation property box and see what happens during playback?

Try to reset the MIDI database in Settings/Advanced. Report back on how that goes!

Edit: John beat me to it 😀

That is strange. If you start superior drummer on its own (stand alone), can you drag song blocks from the song track to your desktop?
Sorry for all the questions, but we need to know where to start looking for this weirdness 🙂
