1. We’ll take a note of this. I agree that it would be useful to be able to reuse the order that one self has created.

2. This is a known bug, and will be fixed in the next update.

Thanks for the feedback!

Can you upload a Superior Drummer 3 saved project file, that has these problems, so the coders can have a look at its behaviour? We haven’t gotten this bug report before, so it would be helpful!

Sure. You can download the software using Toontrack Product Manager. Move the installation files to the offline computer, run the installer, and select to authorize Offline.

There should be no problems with dragging a MIDI groove from Superior Drummer 3 into Logic Pro X, so my second tip should work! Can you explain in what situations it doesn’t work to drag the MIDI into Logic?

What DAW are you using?

Are you using SD3 in standalone or in a DAW?
If in a DAW – it should work, as long as the SPD 30 can play anything else in the DAW.
If in standalone, make sure you have selected SPD 30 as a MIDI in device, in the menu Settings / Audio/Midi Setup…”

Thanks for the reply.

However, with the bug where the measure numbers get reset as stated in my original post, its not possible to work on the song track.

Can you suggest another workflow until the bug is fixed?  

Yeah, I can image that the bugs makes it difficult to work.
Options I can think of, until the bug is fixed:
* find the bars where you want to work by moving the playhead in the DAW – since the play head will be positioned in the same place in SD3 to help you navigate
* disable Follow Host, drag the MIDI from the Grooves to SD3 song track, edit it as you like, and then drag it to the DAW for arranging.
All the MIDI will be kept in the SD3 song track, so you can do more edits later and drag it out again, if wanted.

How can anyone possibly create a song with any time signature change using the song track? Not to mention, when using a host, the Follow Host option does not follow the host time signature.

Is there a workaround?  

The problem is that the host doesn’t tell SD3 the time signature changes until its play head reach the point of the time signature change. This would make the song track in SD3 jump around every time its reaching a time signature change in the host. This is why we made an implementation where the user should set up the time signature changes in SD3 in the same way as the host has its changes – so the timelines match from the start.

It is like you describe – if you change a property on a MIDI note (say Random), select another note, and then select the first note again – the sliders will be reset. This is because they are apply effects, e.g. applied when you de-select the notes.

We are aware of that it would be a better system to have the MIDI notes remember the settings of each controller (quantize, swing and random), and we have it noted on our todo list for the future! Thanks for the feedback.

ok, actually i think i figured out, that i just moved the cymbal hits to a different note on the piano roll (still cymbal 5), and theyre all even now. But now im wondering, how can i assign the same notes to that piano roll note, without having to manually change it myself each pattern??  

Ok, so the notes wasn’t on Cymbal 5?
If you want them there, select all song blocks, select all note rows that you want to go to cymbal 5 and move them there?

When I use the “Metal/Heavy Rock / Djent Style” preset I get an even volume of the china.
In the attached screenshot I added a china hit (Crash articulation) on every 4th, and they sound even in volume.
Is that similar to how you played the china, or is it in any other way?
