Well, it has a lot of different snares, which you can change in many ways using mixer effect, property boxes, etc. But if you buy another SDX, it will have snares with different sounds, since they are captured in other studios, using other microphones. When you buy an SDX you also get presets adjusted for that SDX, and those snares.
It’s impossible to answer if you need any more snares than the ones in the core library of Superior Drummer 3, but other SDXs (and EZXs) offers sounds that you can’t create using the core library…

Has anyone else experienced this? I don’t know how to fix this… I don’t think I can tighten the head anymore than it is…. I don’t think my PD-125 is faulty as the 38 Midi NOTE still registers in the Analyzer. But it definitely isn’t triggering the right thing when hit dead center!
Check the analyzer in the bottom left corner of Settings / MIDI In/E-drums and hit the snare in the center, and see what CC value it sends.
Hit the other zones too, to see how the CC is sent from them.

This error occurs because the VST file that Mixcraft is using hasn’t been updated, while other parts of SD3 has.
It looks like the VST (DLL) file has been moved, possibly because Mixcraft isn’t looking for VSTs in the path where the Superior Drummer 3 DLL was installed, so you moved it to another folder?
If this is the case, point Mixcraft to look for the VST where it is installed, rather than moving the DLL to where Mixcraft currently looks for plugins.

– On another note, I don’t quite understand what you mean by 1) “start another instance of SD3 in Logic and add more instruments there” Do you mean Open Logic Pro program > Select Software Instruments > AU Instruments > Toontracks etc….?
When you have an instrument track in Logic with Superior Drummer 3, you can add another instrument track in Logic which also has SD3. E.g., 2 instances of Superior Drummer 3 is running in Logic.
One scenario where this can be beneficial is when you have a normal drum kit loaded on one of the instances, and Latin Percussion on the other. It can be easier to handle the sound and the MIDI when those are separated – instead of having both drums and percussion in one instance of SD3.
———————
2) “Use an empty preset so no drums that you already have in the first instance takes up unnecessary memory and CPU” Can you advise how to setup an Empty preset with no drums?
You can set up an empty kit by going to the Drums and Mixer preset menu, and select Drum Kits > Clear All Instruments

Thanked by: JaceShort answer: no. The number of instruments is fixed in EZd2. Option to add instruments, change MIDI note numbers, and a ton of more features, are things you can do in Superior Drummer 3.

Thanked by: jorgeolProduct Manager doesn’t have the feature to change paths for installed libraries. But I’ll take a note of it as a feature request!

Are you talking about a certain EZX or SDX?

The crash is related to the amount of added instruments, and the number of mixer channels those create in the mixer.

No files were attached to your previous post.
Can you put all files in a .zip file and try to post it as an attachment again?
If it won’t work, try to post just the project file.

Doesn’t it work to right click the play button and select MIDI learn?

Thanked by: J.A.J SoundWe are looking into this matter, it seems to be because of too many added instruments…
We’ll post a reply when we have an answer 🙂

Select the instrument you want to add stacks to, and go to More > Stack/Add To/ – and select the articulation you want to add the stack to.
To make SD3 play different stacks depending on velocity, select the articulation and adjust the Velocity Gate.
In this screenshot, the stacked articulation will only play when the velocity is at least 100.
