Yes, the list is pretty massive, you’ll find things like editable keyboard shortcuts in there 🙂 The full list will be released ASAP.

One can’t answer what resolution’s that’s best for Superior Drummer 3, since it will always be shown “pixel correct”, e.g. the graphics will be shown as it was intended – each pixel represented as a pixel on your screen.

The thing that differs is the size of the GUI, depending of the resolution and the physical size of your screen. If you have a really high resolution on a small screen, Superior Drummer 3, as all other software, will be small, for example.

There are controls in Superior Drummer 3 that enables you to scale the GUI, so if the text is too small to read for example, you can make the GUI bigger.

The further you zoom in on the song track, the more bars and dividers the timeline will show (1/4, 1/8, etc.) – to which you can set chords 🙂

I still think they should give a sexier name like “vault” or Jewel Box” .  user folder sounds like a place where I keep my old socks

Haha, good thinking 😀

Excellent thanks. I found the user midi folder. Only problem is if I add something to that folder I can’t find a way of removing. If I right click “delete” it says “do you want to delete from the disk” which I obviously don’t want to do

When you add something to the User MIDI folder, you create a copy of the MIDI file and place it in the folder “User MIDI” on the hard drive. When you delete something from the User MIDI folder, the actual MIDI file is removed from the hard drive.

So if you drag a file from a MIDI library to User MIDI, then delete that file from User MIDI, you are deleting the copied file. The original file that was copied isn’t removed 🙂

Can you drag the MIDI files to a shared (network) folder, or similar, that the two machines can access?

There are many differences between the presets, but one can say that there are 3 main differences: the drum kit, the volume of different drum kit parts, and the effects.

• If you want to compare presets, you can either run two instances of SD3 in a DAW (Logic, Cubase, or similar).
  • If you run 2 instances, you can enable Cache mode – so no samples are loaded into RAM until they are played.
• Load one preset, take screenshot of the mixer and take notes of which drum kit that’s loaded, then load the other preset and compare with the screenshot.

If it’s still authorized to the old computer it will work to install it to your new PC, since you can have 2 active authorizations in the same time.

EZmix 2 is the latest in the EZmix series, so there are no plans to stop supporting it in any near future.

Program (mis)-Manager had installed all the SDXs in the same folder it wanted to delete when doing clean-up.

The installation is made in a separate installer, which is automatically opened from the Product Manager. Somehow, the installation path in the SDX installer was set to the download path, which lead to this. I’ll take a note of this, and we’ll try to re-design it so this scenario won’t happen.

I agree that this message is unclear, since it doesn’t state what should be updated. We’ll see if we can change it for future updates!

It’s the User MIDI folder you are referring to, which is a folder that you can store your own MIDI grooves in.

In Superior Drummer 3, it’s found in the bottom of the Libraries list (on the left side in the Grooves tab).

If you want to record music to a DAW using non static tempo, Tempo Maps will be a huge help for you (regarding all instruments) so it’s worth to learn how it works 🙂
