Ah ok! It was a swing and miss there from my side 🙂 I’ll take a note of your request to our feature request list for Product Manager.

Is there some offset going on in sd3 or in logic?

Do you have any Time Signature changes prior to bar 247? Either in SD3 or in Logic?

If the time signatures don’t match between Logic and SD3, this scenario may occur.

I have one more question that has e rather baffeled.  In my Logic mixer, after having set up my stereo instance and making a track stack, I have two sd3 tracks coming into the logic mixer.  (See attach.).  One is SD# (green) and to the right of it BD (rown) which is the first track of my track stack.
Both of these control the input of the sd3 into the logic mixer.  If I select either one and either solo/mute/ or move the faders up or down it affects the complete drum sound.  That means that I have two equal sd3 inputs on my mixer which I have to deal with when eqing or gain staging…whatever.

I’m not sure what you want to achieve here, but does it make it easier if you also drag the SD3 Perc (green) into the SD3 Track Stack (green)? By doing this, you’ll route all the audio coming from the two SD3 instances into the same Track Stack, and you can apply effects and control the volume with only one channel.

Tweaking things kind of work in the sd3 grid editor and although like I said, I am much faster in the the logic piano roll, due to the fact that selected notes in the sd3 editor zip around when I am moving them from instr to instr. and I often lose my place.  The undo funtion does’t seem to help.
As you know of course control Z applies to logic and not to sd3 and often causes my sd3 to crash.

All Cmd + key commands are taken by Logic and the operative system. SD3 uses Alt + key

When I grab/select a note or notes with the cursor in the sd3 editor and move things up or down with my mouse, they scroll like crazy up and down/left and right and I easily lose my place.

Press and hold shift key to move things vertically, without having them change their timing.

When I want to undo and revert to original I can’t seem to find how to do that.  I’m working on a medley right now and have done it in the template of  (hopefully you can remember how I asked you which logic/sd3 setup is recommended)?  a stereo sd3 instance.

Edit menu > Undo, or press keyboard keys Alt + Z

After recording the logic overdubs into the track of the sd3 I guess I could then erase them from the logic arrange window Huh? Otherwise if I didn’t mute them they would play twice?

Yes, either delete them, move them further right on the Logic track, or mute them.

You can check the MIDI note number/key name for each instrument and articulation in In EZdrummer 2.

• Right click the instrument you want information for and click “Details” in the bottom right corner of the popup.
• The Articulations for the instrument are listed with their Note Number.
  • Press the “Key” button (top right corner) to see key names instead.
• In the bottom right corner there’s a “MIDI In” area, which shows the latest received MIDI note/key
  • This is useful when you’re trying to track down where the articulations are placed on a keyboard.

In the meantime, maybe you can set it up by trying option 2 or 3 on this blog post:

It’s not possible to re-map MIDI in EZdrummer 2, nor is it planned to be implemented. These features are implemented in the big brother, Superior Drummer 3.

@Phaine and @wphall, can you try different Numbers of CPUs in Settings of SD3? Setting this to 1 has made it better for some Mac users, when using Logic, so there may be some differences for you guys too.

Is this behaviour different for other plugins in your setup with Ableton?

You mean when you bounce using Bounce Microphone Channels?

I tried this and noticed that custom naming of the channels isn’t used for the files, so I’ll write this up! I’ll try to get this into a future update!

Has something changed in SD3? Can you automate with the Velocity and Amount knobs within SD3?

No, but the same result can be achieved by:

• Cutting up a block in smaller parts, and for each part set the amount (to make the drummer play more and more for each bar, for example)
• In the Grid Editor, you can change the velocity as you want – for example create a slope so that the drummer increases the velocity over a given time.

Thanks for the feedback – your ideas are good, and noted! 🙂

Do you have any MIDI In/E-drums preset enabled in SD3? Those will alter incoming MIDI, but not the MIDI that’s inside SD3 (like playing from the song track, or the Grooves tab).
