You probably won’t need to make maps for other kits and libraries if the output from Jamstix is consistent. The only variations you might make are for hi-hats and cymbals. Exceptions may be libraries like the FoR Percussion.

That is right. The basis will be there. The current kit I am mapping has for example three rides and I will need to adapt that when a new kit is mapped. I don’t work in that mapping since two months, so I don’t remember some things at the moment, but I tend to remember that I saw some toms or one tom that was in different order as usual in this kit, so I need to take it into account too.

[Korken]

I understand every one has an own workflow, but it this case, wouldn’t be better to work directly with the grid editor within SD3, even when it is loaded as VSTi in Cubase? All the mapping is already there, even with tons of different articulations. I own myself Cubase, but since I got SD3 a few months ago I realized I will never use the midi editor in Cubase to program SD3, so no mapping needed. I even like better the order in the SD3 grid editor. But again, maybe you have good reasons to prefer working the other way.

What I am doing myself is a mapping between Jamstix 4 and a specific kit in SD3 and if I have good results I will map other kits when I use them in the future. Jamstix doesn’t use all articulations SD3 has to offer, but there is a number of notes to map that are not few. It is doable with a little patience though.

You should be able to use EZD 2, though. I forgot how to tell Cubase 12 to show your VST2 plug-in, but it is possible. I did it when I had same issue with another software.

Hello:

I don’t use EZKeys but until I understand the pipe organ is not  VSTi that you can load into Kontakt or any other. The organs and other keys need to be managed into EZKeys, as they are just expansions to the main software. See the note in the pipe organ:

This is an expansion that works with both EZkeys 1 and EZkeys 2. Note: This product only comes with a sound library – no MIDI or software is included. See full system requirements at the bottom of this page.

And the system requirements:

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS.
620 MB free disk space (plus 580 MB for download), 4 GB RAM (8 GB or more recommended).
A working EZkeys 2.0.0 (or above) or a EZkeys 1.2.5 (or above) installation.

I run Windows 10 and Cubase 14 with my 12 or 13 years old notebook, an i7 too, but third or four generation, and 32 GB RAM. SD3 runs well in standalone mode and within Cubase, so it should be something with your system or your DAW. But you are getting better results now, I see.

Hey, great song and very well produced!

[Korken]

Bad choice of word, I give that. No need to get deeper in this thing. I am not missing anything. I know human and machine factor. I am new to SD, but not to drum libraries, although I kind of suck at groove programming.

[Korken]

well, I don’t think I am missing something. That what you say was what I commented after the period. That is why I wrote “bug” instead of bug. My comment was due to the fact that one sample was very loud in comparison with the others and I hadn’t noticed such a thing with other pieces. But maybe I will when I work more with the software.

Okay, now I hear it in the kick… must have been tired ears.

Picked up the one in hi-hat closed pedal as well.

Nice. But which one, the one at 74velocity (repaired, I think) or the one at 105. They are different.

I remember now, when I was testing the kick, hit articulation at 31 velocity, I switched to the open articulation and one sample sounded a lot louder than the rest. I think now that this kind of “bug” should be very common in all libraries and it gives some kind of imperfection one could get from a human drummer too. I haven’t tested intensively in all libraries, but I think if one gets picky, one could find a lot of that kind of variations.

Korken and Jordan, do you have the full installation of Fields of Rock, and Korken do you have the voice and layer limits for the 14 x 22“ Ludwig Hollywood B/O badge maple kick set to unlmited (a dash “-“)?

• This post was modified 9 months, 3 weeks ago by Tom Conner.

Yes, I have the full installation. But voice and layers were not unlimited. I tried now and verified that with “gradient” unlimited I can hear the kick sample, hit articulation, at velocitiy 31 has the issue you mean. I tried with “The Godfather” kit and it is the same.

But, hey, there is more:

The 14″Zildjian A 1950’s/Zildjian K 1990s pedal closed hi hat in the Fields of Rock SDX at about 74 velocity has one sample with what sounds like some bongos and maybe a voice at the end. Thanks. Really like this library.

I was able now to find this issue with hi hat, closed pedal, velocity 74 that you reported in the first post. I understand this one was repaired with the update. But the one I reported was a different one:

I know it is solved, but before updating I wanted to test it. At velocity 74 or near I was not able to find anything, but at 105 I hear a sample where after the HH hit a voice is heard, followed by a sneeze (I think).

Please try with same hi hat, closed pedal, velocity 105. It is a different one!

As I still haven’t installed the update, I don’t know if this one was repaired too.

Sampled articulations are one shot, and do not change when you change the note length. Rules of any length need to be done manually using the grid editor on your DAW.

jord

or the grid editor within SD self. Shootie has a good video on how to program rolls, even using ramps, but I can’t recall at the moment where is it and if it was a members only or open video. Maybe it was part of a long video I watched some weeks ago.

[Korken]

I guess you need to program the long roll yourself, trying to give some light (human) variations in timing and velocity.

Indeed!!

Multichannel output is THE way for that what you are trying to achieve. Don’t waste your time with the workflow you detail above. If you mentioned the DAW you are using, I missed it and can’t find it in a fast search through your posts, but you can search in Youtube for “superior drummer multichannel output ” or “”superior drummer multi output ” and you will find for sure some videos explaining how to set it up.

The OP is using Cakewalk by Bandlab.

Here’s a screenshot of a part of my SD3 mixer showing multichannel output https://ibb.co/WNFTgp0p

Very nice choice of groups! Now OP must learn how to route those SD outputs to Cakewalk and the experience will be better, for sure .
