Hi,

please click the ‘Effects’ button in the top right corner to show the macro controls for the preset. Hammer and Pedal Noise should be part of every preset.

I’m trying to use EZD3 off a laptop with MIDI over usb to send midi to EZD3, then get the sound sent back to the module and out those direct outs so that FOH can maintain individual drum control. I can only get EZD3 to output through the master outputs Left and Right on the module. In midi setup when i check all the other channels as outputs nothing comes out of them. What am i missing?

Hi,

user d1ondbeat posted a couple of years ago about the TD-50X being able to act as a multi-out audio interface in the SD3 section of the Help Forum, so the same should be possible with EZD3, at least he seems to be using EZD3:

The answer to the user original question about playing SD3’s output back through TD50x’s 8 Digital outputs, is yes.  There is a setting in the OUTPUT-USB on TD50X for USB “Loopback” and gives you that ability.  You also have to set the OUPUT to “Vendor” as well to have your PC recognize the TD50X.  On the computer, you have to choose ASIO, and then the audio output to TD50X outputs.   In the SD3 mixer, you’ll see all 32 output channels, too, and you can individuall assign the outputs.   You can of course play around with all the assignable output settings on the TD50X.   I have them set to use 8 direct outputs, and also the mains’s for my monitors.   The PD-14DS digital features are all recognized by SD3 as well.   All the setting, configuration, and execution to get this work is in the manual for the TD50X.   Note: you can upgrade TD-50 firmware to work like the newer TD-50X, though it’s a $199 cost to do download and upgrade.  Read the caveats to upgrading though, you’ll lose all your kits and have to start from scratch.

However, when try to import any wave at all to the snare artictulations (rim shot or sidestick) it mangles the sound;  the result doesn’t sound like the original at all. I have tried various clears and replaces to no avail.   I’ve tried turning off any processing on the new stack item but no luck there either. Any ideas?  The original articulation sounds just fine. I’ve attached a sample rim shot that I have tried where the resultant sound becomes more like a mangled snare.

Hi,

how is the stacked Rim/Sidestick routed? Please right-click the stacked pad and go to ‘Route Instrument Microphones’ and check. If it is being routed to an existing Mixer channel that has got FX on it, it will also get the same treatment. If the Main out is being heavily processed and this works for the rest of the kit but not the stacked sample, please route it to its own output.

Hi,

your best alternative should be ASIO drivers, WASAPI is slow IIRC. If you have Focusrite hardware, there *should* be fast ASIO drivers available for it. Please check the Focusrite site for up-to-date ASIO drivers.

No,

the AudioUnit cache should suffice.

Did you reboot your Mac afterwards and then run the Custom install to make sure the AU component gets installed?

Hi,

to expand on Mick’s reply: Did you install the EZD3 Core Library as well as the EZD3 software? They are two different installers, both found in the Product Manager application.

BEST ANSWER

To add to Shootie’s post:
expanding the Row (in the Grid Editor) for e.g. a Ride or Crash will reveal the ‘Choke’ lane as well as the different articulation lanes. Drawing a Choke in an instrument’s lane will Choke that instrument at the insertion point with a fairly quick release. If you for some reason wish to have the Choke active for a longer period, right-click the ‘Choke’ lane (or any lane) and select ‘Show Note Length’.
An alternative to drawing Chokes on separate lanes is to expand the Editor lane at the bottom of the Grid Editor, which displays Velocity values by Default and select ‘Choke All (Channel AT) and draw a Choke there. This would be Choking all ringing Cymbals at once.

Hi,

I would do the following:

Close Logic.
Go to {Mac HD}/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ and delete the ‘Superior Drummer 3.component’ file
Clear the AU cache by following the instructions in this FAQ: https://www.toontrack.com/faq/my-toontrack-plug-in-is-missing-from-logic-garageband/

Reboot your Mac. Open the Product Manager and Download the SD3 3.3.7 Installer again (if you have deleted it). Run it and make sure you click ‘Customise’ and then check that the AU plug-in is indeed being installed (see screen shots).
Next, start Logic.

Hi,

I highly recommend using the Product Manager Application. Is it possible for you to have your computer online for Authorisation?

Hi,

this topic is about having different versions of resources and plug-in on Windows and you are using macOS Sequoia. Please start a new thread about your particular problem, describing what steps you have taken and your system specs.

Hi,

using the SD3 Tracker to convert recorded audio files into MIDI is never as easy as if you are recording MIDI directly from an E-kit, if that is what you are asking?
However, with separate microphones for each kit piece you wish to convert with Tracker, the easier it will be for you. I presume you record the separate microphones to separate tracks/files for loading in the SD3 Tracker.

Hi,

I am afraid you have missed the info on the Dark Industrial product page that it is an EZkeys 2 library which requires EZkeys 2.

In this EKX for EZkeys 2, the absolute contraries of the audio scope come…

This EKX requires EZkeys 2. Learn more about the program…

Hi,

unless something is communicated via the main site or via email, future products, features and/or updates questions will never be replied to here on the Forum. NDA’s and stuff.

Requests over at ‘Requests & Feedback’ are always read by Toontrack.

I started on a Strata Prime Map for a User a while ago, maybe you can use it either as is or as a starting point?

If you wish to do so, please download the attached ZIP file, un-zip and then click the ‘Manage in Finder/Explorer’ entry in the MIDI Presets list in EZD3 and place the un-zipped file in there. Rescan User Presets and it should be there. If you make changes, don’t forget to save them.

Hi,

AFAIK, both should work.
Just make sure that if you decide to buy it, be logged in to your main account when registering it.
