Don’t forget the Nashville EZX as well.

Once upon a time, (on Windows PCs) you could configure your Google Drive as a mapped drive (i.e.; drive G:).
I don’t know if that functionality still exists with Google Drive.

If it does, you could link a USER MIDI folder within EZD to one on the G: drive

I know that it is ‘only’ an EZX but don’t discount the Claustrophobic EZX.

The Claustrophobic EZX fuses conventional and organic drums with a selection of percussive elements, all recorded in a heavily dampened room and mixed through high-end chains of outboard. It includes several kit presets, a large selection of optional instruments as well as a comprehensive library of presets.

As I understand it and in my own user experience with EZKeys2, the ‘Replace MIDI‘ function of EZKeys2
allows the user to apply the playing style(s) and groove(s) found in the app’s MIDI Groove Libraries to their entered chord sequences.
I’ve not really expected EZKeys2 to create melodies or lead lines.
Perhaps MIDI suggested by the Bandmate function is closer to those types of results…

Bandmate and the other songwriting tools that SD3 doesn’t have.
If that’s not you, SD3 might be all that you need.

[Scott Eshleman]

if I am reading your post correctly;

• your e-kit is connected to your computer via USB transmitting MIDI to EZDrummer, right?
• your headphones are connected to your Scarlett Solo interface
• and EZDrummer is outputting to the Scarlett Solo…

What is the purpose of the 1/4 cable from the e kit to the interface?
It seems unnecessary.

If your intent is to hear the native sounds from the e-kit (not from EZDrummer),
I suggest plugging your headphones directly into the e-kit.

Please tell me if I’m misinterpreting something.

Thank you, I also figured out that where I was selecting the sounds for the kick drums it’s a little deceptive – when you have the left kick selected, “kick 2” is at the top of the list of the available sounds and “kick 1” below, and if you have the right one selected “kick 1” is at the top and “kick 2” below.  So I did actually have different sounds set for each of the kicks.

I’d still kinda like to know what the point of being able to set individual MIDI note assignments for the left vs. the right kick is if those assignments don’t actually do anything.  *shrug*

I would guess that the option to trigger 2 (two) different kick samples with 1 (one) MIDI note assignment
is offered for those without the ability to trigger 2 different MIDI note assignments; i.e. single kick e-kits, etc.

I wish TT would allow us to download direct from the website as well as via the PM.

Reply To: Can’t download Superior Drummer 3 library 2-3-4 and additional bleed version: 3.3.6
Operating system: macOS High Sierra (10.13)

Just wondering, what is to be gained by downloading from the website vs Product Manager?
D’you think maybe Product Manager or the OS is throttling the download?

PS.  Not recommended…but it is still available.

No need to do all that.  Simply change the instrument on Logic’s Drummer track to SD3 and change SD3’s drum mapping to Apple -> Logic Drum Designer.

You can continue to use Drummer regions from there and make any adjustments you see fit, or you can bring it into SD3 via the Record button in SD3 and play the track.

Oh, cool. It’s been awhile since i’ve used Logic at all.
I’m definitely going to try this method to attempt to imprint it for when I need it.
Thanks, Jord.

I suppose that the easiest way to get Logic Pro X Drummer data into SuperiorDrummer is to:
1) create a Software Instrument track with SD3 instantiated below your Logic Drummer track.
2) then, drag the Drummer region(s) onto the SD3 track. The Logic Drummer data should convert to MIDI on the SD3 track.
Mute the Logic Drummer track so that you’re NOT hearing both tracks.
3) THEN, you can [Record] that MIDI into the SD3 song track as noted previously.
After which, you’ll want to mute or delete the MIDI on Logic’s SD3 track so that only the MIDI internal to the SD3 song track is heard.

found this video where 2 ways of converting Logic Drummer data to MIDI are illustrated

Yes yes and yes.

I am using Product Manager, and yes I changed the download location to a folder within my external drive.

All the libraries were there, it still wouldn’t detect them even after diverting the library path there.

And then after launching it a couple of times it deleted the entire contents of that folder.

I haven’t modified anything at all I’ve just followed the download instructions from the product manager and this has happened.

The drive is brand new.

As Brad has alluded, after downloading the sound libraries,
they must be ‘installed’ (best by using the Product Manager) to their working location.

The DOWNLOADed files are not functional until they are installed to their working location.
THAT location will be the one to which you will point SuperiorDrummer3.
They are (almost) always 2 different folders.
Typically, the DOWNLOAD location and the working INSTALLATION location might even be on different drives
because of the size of the files.

BEST ANSWER

Please reference The Song Track,
particularly Section 5.3 The Song Track Header Bar for information WRT editing inserted chord blocks.
Essentially you’ll use the Pencil tool to draw chord blocks of desired lengths and the Split tool to chop them up into smaller blocks.
