Tecnically, you can copy a preset from the folder of one SDX to that of another. You can then load that in the other SDX and it is probably not going to be what you are after. Well, unless you have both the Roots SDXs and want to share presets between them.

In Superior Drummer you get a chance to modify the preset to suit the foreign drum. Otherwise, yes, what happens by default when you load a drum from another library would be pretty much the same.

That other forum topic deals only with loading snares from other EZXs into some Made of Metal presets. Made of Metal is the odd one out here in that it has 4 close snare mics while the other typically have 2.

Still, everytime you load a drum from another EZX you are gambling. It may sound good or it may not. If you are using the Original Mix preset then the “foreign” drum is supposed to sound rather like it does in its own EZX using the Original Mix preset. In any other case the result is rather unpredictable.

Maybe this is the same?

It is fixed at the standard +-2 semitones.

I think you are the first requesting a way to change it.

Made of Metal has a lot of snare mics. So many, in fact, that all of them are not used in all presets. Metal! has only a single snare mic and if that isn’t used, by the MoM preset you have loaded, then the snare will only play in the room mics and you get that inferiour sound.

If you look at the picture of the piano in EZkeys there is a hatch on the right hand side, with Tuning written on it.

However, I should think that it is more likely that something (Logic or a MIDI device) is sending Pitch-Wheel messages to EZkeys.

Macros are part of the kit presets you can save, yes, but the MidiLearn system is not. It has its own preset system and if you load or save such a preset it becomes the default that is loaded for a new project.

And now I understand your original question – and the answer is no, you cannot have a midi learned CC control whatever you have selected in the GUI. The MidiLearn system is specifically designed to work without the GUI being up. It is primarily for automation.

Select all drums so that they all have that blue aura. This is easily done in the Instrument Menu, which is the left most of the three menus that sit in the middle above the drums.

Then right-click on the tuning slider and midi learn it.

Also try the Pitch FX> Real Time> MIDI Learn, for some fun.

BEST ANSWER

Note that you can have two paths specified for an SDX. The idea is that you can have a small installation on your laptop and a full installation on your external drive. SD will then choose to use the path that points to the largest installation.

Wann du stellst ein Macro-Control in SD3 ein (mit dem Computer Maus), SD3 wird das zum Host mitteilen. Aber, meistens braucht man das Host in ein geeignet “automation mode” setzen um diese Mitteilungen zu aufzeichnen oder, glaube ich, vieder zu senden. Wenn dieses nicht funktioniert dann haben auch die Presets keine Chance um deine hardware Schieberegler zu erreichen.
(Not using German a lot)

When you adjust a macro knob inside the GUI of SD3, SD3 will notify the host about the change but the host may not do anything in response to that unless a suitable automation mode is active. If this doesn’t work then selecting a preset will also have no chance to affect your hardware sliders.

Unfortunately there is a bug in 3.1.3 and 3.1.4 that makes the “touch” mode useless.

And, actually, I have no experience with updating motorized control surfaces like this. I am just guessing at how the hosts handle this.

If you touch or move one of the macro knobs in the SD3 GUI, does that
update your hardware state?
