Hi,

to begin with, you shouldn’t move your Toontrack application folder post install, nor should you move any plug-ins.

What you can do, is move sound libraries for all current products post installation.

Please see this FAQ for moving libraries for all product:

Hi,

it looks like all library parts except Part 1 – Basic Library, has got corrupt soundbunches. Your Part 1 *should* be good but Jack’s advice on checking the drive first and foremost is very valid, since you would like to figure out how the sound bunches could get corrupted.

Hi,

do you mean the Song Track? Or the Metronome? The Count-In? Please elaborate.

Hi,

if I open your SD3 Project, it plays back as expected, when looking at the note and CC data. You are triggering the “Edge Trigger” note and controlling the openness with the CC data from the Pedal. Since there is CC data on the Track, dragging a note to a regular articulation will not work to change the openness (length), only lowering the CC data at that point in time (0=fully open, 127=fully closed).
If your CC data looks like this (which seems pretty normal) and you still get chopped HH notes where you expect more open notes, I would look into if you have a faulty MIDI controller sending CC data. You can either record MIDI while not doing anything or open the “MIDI Monitor” Property Box on the DRUMS page in SD3, to see if there is CC data being received without you doing anything.

Hi,

please use the Product Manager application instead of the web interface to download, install and authorise Toontrack products.

Hi,

could you please save an SD3 Project where this is happening and attach to a post here? I have my suspicions but I would like to check.

Hi,

you can select all drums you wish to edit the Velocity curve for with Click+Shift, then go to Edit Mapping in E-drums/MIDI In, click ‘Velocity’ to the left and edit the curve for all at the same time.

Well,
AFAIK there is no such list because the libraries rely on “substitution”, meaning that you should be able to load a library like the ‘Hansa – Vocal Booth’ that has only two Toms and three Cymbals, as well as ‘Area 33 -Origins’ that has got 13 Toms and 13 Cymbals and both libraries play back Toontrack MIDI sounding as expected. Both of these examples would have different “main” notes.
The closest would be GM (Drums), because all Toontrack libraries are at least GM compatible but the rest of the maps are a GM Extension.

You can always go to ‘Help > Show MIDI Mapping Layout’ (or right-click an Instrument > More > Show MIDI Mapping Layout) to see the current layout displayed.

Toontrack user ‘godprobe’ once started his own Google spreadsheet where he laid out his own library expansions but I am not sure this has been updated.

Hi,

if I understand you correctly, I would say that would be working a bit backwards, clearing notes first.
I would simply add the new instrument, if there are notes automatically added, they should be fine to use.
More than one note shouldn’t be added for a single articulation but if you add e.g. a Ride Cymbal, it could have 8 articulations which all get a new suggested note assignments.
If you know that you are not going to use all articulations, you can start by unloading them and then clearing their note assignments.

Should you add an Instrument (e.g. a User Instrument) that doesn’t get a suggested note assigned, there’s an exclamation mark on its pad and you just go to the MIDI Mapping Property Box and click Add suggested note.

You should be able to add at least 10-12 Instruments, at least that’s from my own experience, before you start “running out of notes”. The suggested notes will not primarily be the ones used in standard Toontrack MIDI unless you e.g. add an extra Rack Tom in a kit that only has one. Then the suggested note will be like it would be for a 2nd Rack Tom. The same would go for a kit with only 2 Crash Cymbals if you add a 3rd. So there’s logic to it.

Hi,

when you add an Instrument and visit the MIDI Mapping Property Box, you have the option to ‘Add suggested note’ besides ‘Add note’ and ‘Learn note’.

If you pick the suggested note, you should be good for grooves still working.

The ‘Trigger’ articulations are meant to be used when using an E-drum kit or similar controller, yes. You can use those notes for your X-drums.

Hi,

if you click the keys in EZkeys 2 standalone or the drums in the interface of EZdrummer 3 standalone with you sound card selected, do you get sound?

Hi,

how did you buy it? You should have received a serial in an email from the store that sold you EZbass.

Hi,

unfortunately, that reply above was somehow cut into just the first 1/3.
Anyhow, I suggested replacing the stereo reversed version of the Ride Cymbal to the normal, described how you can add separate OH, AMB, etc, channels for imported Instruments but you seem to have found a video describing it, so I guess you’re all good now.
