some questions:
» what version of sd3 are you running? make sure it’s the latest (3.1.2)
» in Setting/General, have you enabled Keyboard Shortcuts? Try to toggle that option to see if there’s any difference

You can save the effect setup of each bus as a Channel Effects Preset, and load those on the buses in the new preset’s mixer.

No, these problems aren’t common – especially with software as EZdrummer 2, which has been out for a couple of years now. But sometimes bugs do occur, when users does something in a particular order, that hasn’t been reported before!

We’ll take a look at this bug.

In the mean time, if you want to remove one instrument from a MIDI block, you can right click the block on the song track and select Remove Notes > Kick. You can also right click any instrument in Edit Play Style and select “Remove MIDI” to achieve the same thing…

Thank for the report!

You are correct, currently detached windows aren’t being reopened when opening Superior Drummer 3. Thanks for the feature request, it’s noted!

Hi,

is there a way to have the chord wheel “read” the chord I am playing on my keyboard directly? By this I mean: open the chord wheel, play a chord on the MIDI keyboard and have the chord wheel “snap” to exactly this chord (or its closest match)?

Reason I am asking: Sometimes I find it easier to create blank chord blocks, say 8 bars, then input the chords manually step-by-step by playling them on the keyboard; then afterwards use the Browser function to turn those harmonies into piano bits etc.
  

You can achieve this by recording your performance, and the chord(s) will be analysed and be added to the recorded song block. Then can you use the Use Browser MIDI function to replace your play style with something from the browser, while keeping the chords you played!

As long as the DAW supports to drag MIDI from its tracks to plugins you can drag MIDI to SD3. Unfortunately, not that many DAW:s support drag and drop in this way.
If it’s not possible you can either
– export the MIDI from the DAW and import/drag it into SD3
– record enable SD3’s song track, enable “Follow Host”, and press play in the DAW. In that scenario, the MIDI will be recorded into the song track of SD3, and you can then edit it inside SD3.

Thanks Henrik. It would be great if we could save these changes for presets as well.

I’ll take a note of that as a Feature Request, it’s a good idea!
Do you have any particular scenarios for when you’d save MIDI In/E-drums Settings into a Preset? When designing things it’s always crucial to know the reason behind requests, hence the question 🙂

The things you change are saved into the project. So if do some changes into the MIDI In/E-drum Settings (or any other changes you’d want SD3 to start with), go into the File menu and save as default project. This means that superior will look the same as currently when starting it the next time!

The things you ask for seems to point into using a DAW, which can play audio simultaneously as SD3! There are small, cheap, and easy to manage DAW:s to look into, like Garageband (if you are using a Mac)…
