How do you do that so that Superior Drummer reads the old EZ Drummer 2 files and the new ones that were on the SSD Drive? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Library Settings from the [Settings] dropdown menu:
https://www.toontrack.com/manual/superior-drummer-3/9/9-3-settings/#9-3-3-libraries-settings-tab

The Libraries Settings Tab is where you can alter, and set the installation path
to your various installed Superior Drummer Sound Libraries (SDX’s).

Browse for Library Paths: This allows you to set the path to an installed Superior Drummer Sound library (SDX) in Superior Drummer 3,
so that it appears in the Library Selection menu.
This should NOT be used for setting paths to EZX libraries (EZdrummer Sound Libraries).
Simply click this button and navigate to the SL-(library name) folder.

This option should only be used if you are attempting to link a previous existing installation
of a Superior Drummer Sound library (SDX) to Superior Drummer 3 so that it appears in the library selection menu.

Because you have purchased the Superior Drummer 3 hard drive option (where the sound library is pre installed on a hard drive),
you would connect the hard drive containing the sound library(s), launch Superior Drummer,
and use the Browse for Library Path feature to link the sound library to the Superior Drummer 3 software.

An important note: If you are installing Superior Drummer 3 on a computer that contains EZdrummer 2 or Superior Drummer 2,
there are no actions necessary for these existing sound libraries to appear in Superior Drummer 3.
They will automatically appear as available libraries in the Library selection menu.

As the MIDI grooves are generally performed & recorded by different drummers,
I’m guessing that the defining character, tone, or sound differences between two grooves played back on the same kit
would have to be the velocity of the MIDI events that create those grooves.

Realizing the many samples of each kit piece that are available for software to choose from at each velocity layer,
the explicit tonal variations could be mind-numbing.

Toontrack,
Still haven’t heard from you on this.
Thanks, Josh  

While I can’t speak for Toontrack,
I can suggest that you try posting your issue in the SuperiorDrummer3 Support area:
( https://www.toontrack.com/forum/superior-drummer-3-support/ )

I don’t know who monitors the threads here in the “Requests & Feedback” area.

edit: Whoops!! It seems that I posted just a little too late…

Thank you, yes, but as mentioned in first post – all my SATA connections are occupied.

I use 128 GB SDXC cards for cameras, two of those would suffice – or similar as usb – would be half price compared to SSD(about £50 each in small numbers).
Think optical media is cheaper each GB. 

Perhaps it’s not clear but the (optional) 256 GB solid-state drive (SSD) with USB 3.0 connector is an external drive.

The full 230GB George Massenberg SD3 library is set up for download in 5 segments
and a series of progressively larger installation options with progressively more microphones, bleed, etc.

PS. Regarding SDXC cards, you’d need a 256GB card and a card reader that supports it.
Unless you can configure multiple cards into a RAID across multiple card readers as mentioned above.

With the George Massenberg SD3 library clocking in at over 230GB,
I believe the math works out to over 50 DVDs!!
A ‘wild idea’ indeed.

Is there any way that I can use my Toontrack MIDI files on my iPad Pro with an iOS drummer app?

Sure.
While there may be some ToonTrack-specific elements in any groove,
the MIDI is generally mapped to conform to most virtual drum instruments.

@Rick Granberg said:
I’m not even sure how I would get the MIDI files into the iPad Pro. Anyone know about this?

This will be your bigger issue & AFAIK will depend entirely upon the app itself.

It worked for me from either of these download locations:

Does anyone know how to safely move libraries for superior drummer 3?

Is it the same as it is for SD2?

A few libraries installed on our mac, so we need to move them to an external hard drive and make sure the rest of them install on the external as well.

Any help appreciated. Thank you.  

Pretty the same as SD2, in practice.
Please refer to Section 9.3.3 of the SD3 Operation Manual:

Product Manager is not necessary to move libraries between drives accessed by the same computer.
https://www.toontrack.com/faq/how-do-i-move-the-sounds-for-ezdrummer-2/

Generally, Product Manager handles the download, installation & authorization of your Toontrack products.
Once installed & authorized, other strategies and/or tools might be required.
