Yes It would be great to be able to rename User “Instruments” that appear with this “Instruments 1” nomenclature with whatever we change the name to. This would apply to Grid editor, to “Bleed from instruments” and “Close mic audio from instruments” in the Mixer Tab and to the Instrument list in “Route Instrument microphones in the Drums Tab. I have user kits with up to 26 user instruments added and it is very difficult to adjust when I don’t know what they are in these areas mentioned above.

Please can Toontrack consider this as an option in the future.

I’ve got the answer. It is definitely an internal module feature with the Yamaha and no way to use it in VST’s like SD3 – Bummer !

That’s what Superior Drummer 3 allows.

Unfortunately you need SD3 and then have to separately purchase the Hitmaker SDX – works similarly to EZD3 which you need to purchase and then purchase separately any EZX’s for additional libraries. SD3 is a big investment that you may not need. For me as an e-drummer, the flexibility  in SD3 to control all drum sound parameters as well as adding additional instruments/mixer channels and routing to buses is awesome – if you look at my avatar you can see how many different triggers/instruments I can run in SD3. Check out SD3 thoroughly to make sure it is what you need.

There is a gated kit in SDX Hitmaker (see screenshot) which is on the money for what you are after. I have had success with both Gretsch and Premier kit versions of this. However I don’t think there is an EZX version of this one and certainly no EZX’s with Hugh Padgham as the Engineer that I can see. Not sure if this helps but certainly agree that an EZX similar to this would be very much appreciated by the drumming community (who don’t have SD3 or Hitmaker SDX).

Hi John,

I have a similar issue were I purchased Area 33 Origin on 19 Dec to take advantage of the discount. It has been “on hold” ever since and I sent a request to product support (including the order details) but have not received a response. I note it has now disappeared from “PENDING” section on my credit card so it looks like there is a problem. I still want to go ahead with the discounted purchase so I will send another request to product support but just wanted to let you know there is definitely an issue going on. cheers, Andrew
