Henrik EkblomThe first thing to check is that the latest versions are used, of both Superior Drummer 3 (it should be 3.1.2), and that you have the latest version of the drivers for your Presonus Quantum interface/ASIO.

Henrik Ekblom1) Is there a simple way to change the Drums perspective (audience instead of drummer, with hat on the right side).
In the Mixer tab, go to Mixer menu (top left) and select Stereo Reverse Mixer
2) Is there a way to mark some presets as favorite, the same way we do with instruments and grooves?
No, not by marking the presets with a star or similar. Since you can save User Presets this was not on our prioritized list of features.
3) Is there a way to filter the grooves and instruments by favorites (only show those when needed if I’m browsing all my snare drums or Grooves, for instance)? When you have dozens of drums instruments, having the ability to only browse among the few you really like is quite handy.
In Search for Instruments and Grooves, if you click the star in the header row (left of “Name”) you’ll only see your favorite instruments.
I hope this helps you on your way to master SD3 🙂

Thanked by: BaylockHenrik EkblomWe have analysed the file and noticed that BFD has set the length of them to 82 bars. This may have been unintended from their side since some DAW:s don’t care about the length of the MIDI file, they only show the part where there is MIDI data. However, Pro Tools, Toontrack and some others, use the length of the MIDI files since we want users to be able to have a file with say 1 bar with drums and 3 bars of silence – if that’s what the user wants to have.
However – to say that they don’t follow the MIDI standard doesn’t help you, since you are affected by this problem. I will write this up in our feature request list and we’ll look at it. I can’t tell you when, or if, we’ll do something about this issue.
In the mean time, the best workaround I can think of is for you to take the files you want to work with, drag them to the song track and make them the correct length. Then drag them to your User MIDI folder and they’ll be correct shown in Grooves.

Henrik EkblomWell, audio processing doesn’t work like that. A compressor, for example, will sound different if you add the compressor on a bus compared to adding the same compressor to all the individual channels that send to that bus. You can try to copy the effects from the stereo output to all outputs and sometimes it may sound good enough – but many plugins won’t operate as they are intended 🙂

Henrik EkblomAre you using e-drums to play? Have you tried to disable all articulations that you don’t use, minimise the “Voice and Layer” values, disable bleed where not needed? This can drastically lower the RAM usage.
To change settings with MIDI messages is a complicated manovuer to do (both from a technical and user experience view), so we try to avoid that – if it can be avoided!

Henrik EkblomThanks for the file. I’ll hand it over to the highly trained computer dudes in the coding closet, and they’ll look at this 🙂

Henrik EkblomTo my knowledge, this hasn’t been reported before, so that’s why we haven’t fixed it.
Does this problem occur on all BFD MIDI files, or only the BFD Latin files?
Can you upload one of the MIDI files where this happens so the coders can have a look at it?
