Brad,

The question is in the thread title.

Thanks for your reply, Scott.

I’ve no idea if “cracked” plugins are still a thing. I guess that no matter how sophisticated copy protection systems get, there will always be those that try to circumvent those systems.

However, I’m a musician and hobbyist photographer, and use many associated forums. I don’t know of another s/w company that prohibits the general public from reading their help forums. Official Pro Tools,  Cubase, and Adobe forums are available for all to read.

Martin, I have to say, that was my first thought.

I can’t, for the life of me, think of another reason why Toontrack wouldn’t want potential purchasers checking out the “Help” forum. As I said before, there’s far more useful info there.

It’s a given that there are users of any product that will have issues with it – that wouldn’t put me off purchasing a product. However, what does put me off purchasing, is the feeling that a company is deliberately trying to hide something.

Thanks for the insight, Mark – I appreciate it. Always interesting to hear about different practices and workflows from those more knowledgeable.

Your reply has got me thinking that perhaps I should go back to using CB for drum editing.

FWIW I’m not a drummer – I’m a lowly bass player 😉

Many thanks roland rat.

That was the solution I was looking for. Works perfectly 🙂

 

Thanks Mark for your reply.

Over the years, I’ve used SD here and there when needed, so not an expert on functionality or best working practices. When I had SD2, I would move/copy files from SD2 and work within CB. However, since SD3 there seem to be more options that (I think) would be unavailable outside of SD3 – such as the “Edit Play Style”, which I quite like. And, I find the Grid Editor in SD3 easier to work with.

It would be interesting to know the pros and cons of either way, and which way most users prefer.

Thanks again, guys.

Turning off “Randomize Hits” in “Hit Variation” should fix it.

Thanks Olof,

That’s fixed it.

Surely, this must be a bug in the update.

I’ve used Superior Drummer (2&3) for a few years and never encountered this behaviour before 3.2.7

Thanks again

Thanks John,

I assume you mean MIDI-MIDI Filter, “Record” and “Thru”. Unfortunately, checked or unchecked doesn’t make a difference.

I create weekly drive images of my system, so was able to restore my C: Drive to the image which had SD3 3.2.4

SD3 3.2.4 worked perfectly, ie. not creating SysEx Data tracks. I then updated again to 3.2.7, the issue returned.

Seems something has gone awry with the 3.2.7 update.

I occasionally check here to see if Toontrack have relented, but alas… :((

Maybe Toontrack fear that they wouldn’t be able to cope with the overwhelming demand if they were to reintroduce a discounted upgrade! 😉
