Are you using the latest SD3 version, 3.1.2?

Does it work if you:
– drag the file from another place on the hard drive – the desktop for example?
– drag another file/file format?
– drag a file into Superior Drummer 3 standalone (not using a DAW)?

Well, you download the Product Manager, click the products you want to download/install from your list of purchased products. That’s about it.

Using RAM instead of disk stream has made it possible for us to use techniques that other drum plugins can’t, which requires superfast reading of samples. However, when the disks and computers are becoming faster we’ll see how we adjust our technology, since there are advantages/disadvantages with both ways to stream audio.

Thanks for the feedback!

Maybe I misunderstand your problem here, but if you want to shorten the sound of a drum the easiest way is to use the Level Envelope box in the Drums tab, and adjust the Release value to taste. If you want to make it sound more realistic, you can set the release of individual mixer channels which can produce more natural tones of the drum, since the ring should be shorter in the close mics than in room and ambience mics…

I am not sure we are able to do that, since we have limited rights of what we can change outside the window we are placed in by the DAW.

However, there are programs that can control the opacity of windows, have you tried that? A google for make windows transparent gives you many to choose from…

HI

1. Add 1/2 Block size to adding Chords. More than half the time. When You cut the block into 2 Sections. It gets confused and Non Musical!

So if we had the ability to enter a chord. That is intended to be Short(Comparatively). It would make a lot of MIDI Editing go away.

And Make the Music Flow more Correctly

Can you give a step-by-step example of how you want to write the music, and where/when it doesn’t sound musically?
Also, if possible, post an example of a EZkeys project here that you’re not happy with so I can have a look at it?

Is there something in particular you want to achieve by being able to partially see through the plugin window?

Maybe someone can answer this before, but if not – I’ll check with one of the coders that will be back at the office tomorrow!

Nice to hear 🙂 If you’d like, you can mark my reply as the answer, so it’s visible for others that the problem is solved.

Rock on!

Ah ok, now I see your problem 🙂

If you in Logic’s Piano Roll show the Channel Pressure, you’ll see that you have Channel Pressure values to the end of the file. Channel Pressure is comonly used in e-drums to trigger a mute by squeezing a cymbal.

 

You can disable this feature in SD3 by in the Drums tab showing the property box called “Mute Tail Trigger”. You may need to select it in the Show menu in top right corner to be able to see it. In the box, disable Aftertouch (which is another name for Channel Pressure).

 

You can also remove all muting by removing the Channel Pressure values in Logic 🙂

I checked out the Choking-cymbals.zip file. If you are referring to the notes on D2 in Logic’s Piano Roll then they play the Mute Hit on the instrument Cymbal 2 (the 16″ Zildjian), and the Mute Hits aren’t disabled in SD3. Move those notes one semi tone down, to C#2, to play the Crash articulation instead.

In the Choking-cymbals-updated.zip you have disbled the Mute Hit articulation, so when Superior tries to play it and noticing that it’s disabled, it will play the Crash articulation instead. That’s why it doesn’t sound muted in that version.

Does this clear things up?

The issues that seems most common for me when upgrading is driver problems for my audio interface, and that some of all my plugins doesn’t work until an update comes some weeks later. I never upgrade if I know I need to get some songs done in a near future though, since it’s a bit of a gamble 🙂
