Although I partially agree I do think with the toms they have been grouped rather odd. To get a kit like the picture I posted you have to move them between the different toms. They don’t naturally fit under some of the toms they have been added to. I don’t think using the graphic on a Tom to floor Tom position would spoil the look. It would improve it. I don’t suppose it matters that much though since it doesn’t impact the sound.  

We had to make decisions like this to be able to finish the software at release date, and things are often far more complicated than they may seem. However – I’ll take a note of your request, since it might be a good idea! Thanks for the feedback.

So – the scenario is (if I understand you correctly):
– You drag a MIDI song block from the Grooves tab to the Song Track area. You can drag that MIDI song block from the song track to Logic’s song track.
– Now you double click the MIDI song block to enter Edit Play Style, and change one thing, say power hand from hi-hat to ride. Close Edit Play Style.
Now you can’t drag the MIDI song block from the track to Logic any more?

This is because the Floor Tom 2 channel is hidden. In the mixer, click the Edit Visibility button, and on channel Floor Tom 2, disable the Hide button.

This is because when you load an instrument from one “group” of instruments on another position, the image will be generic. The racktoms is another group that floor toms. The same goes if you load a cymbal on the snare position. It has got to do with getting the graphics to fit, not cover other stuff etc., and also to show “something that isn’t originally meant for this position is loaded here”.

When you open Superior Drummer 3, what version number is listed in the bottom right corner? It should be 3.0.1, 3.0.2…?

Thank you for the reply. I am having a different problem though, I am trying to drap SUP3 grooves into logic. Not the other way around. I can drag and drop a groove right out of the sup groove menu no problem. It’s after a do any kind of edit play style that I can’t drag the edited groove from sup3 into logic. So it wont let me edit drums and then drag the file into logic. I hope I am being clear. I wish i knew how to post some kind of video. Thanks again!  

Hmm, this should work. I am using Logic Pro X and SD3.
What version of SD3 are you using?
When you drag an edited Song Block from superior’s song track, can you see the file icon when you drag? Can you see the + icon next to the cursor when you drag it over Logic’s song track?

1, after I insert a groove into SONAR there is no way to know where it came from. so I tried to drag the clip into insert MIDI then what happens is nothing happens, SD3 freezes up. then I close the project then drag the same clip to song creator however, the same thing happens. nothing works.
I don’t know if one can drag a clip from sonar back to SD3 but when I do it I don’t get that symbol from windows that says “no, you can’t do that”. please tell me what i’m doing wrong.

What version of Superior Drummer 3 are you using? What version of Sonar?

2. this is something that many users have a beef with. there is no way to locate a groove after it’s inserted into the DAW. as smart as you guys are could I expect some sort of patch where things are labeled?
other then that, this thing is brilliant.

We have added more info to the dragged MIDI in the 3.0.2 update, where the name of the MIDI is the full path to it. We’ll continue to improve this system, since users wants to know where the MIDI comes from…

I don’t think you got the point about the save dialogue. As a user, you expect a save dialogue to have have some dialogue! e.g. overwrite duplicate, choose sub folder etc… the preset save dialogue doesn’t seem to be normal/expected… seems unfinished to me…  

Thanks for the feedback!

it doesn’t matter where you have the MIDI – in EZdrummer 2 or the DAW – the audio routing still work the same! Google “EZdrummer 2 multi out Pro Tools” and you should get plenty of tutorials.
