Okay, I finally got this irritating issue out in the sunshine and it feels so good! I want to share the solution here in case anyone else should ever run into the problem.

I have Personal set to ‘On’ on my Sequoia Mac because while making music I just cannot be bombarded with flags, reminders, banners, alerts, etc etc etc.

Late last night I suddenly thought: What if this setting is behind my issue?

So I went System Settings/Focus/Personal and where there’s a plus sign for adding Allowed Apps I added Logic Pro.

Did a restart and. . . no ugly ‘Continue’ message stopping me from seamlessly loading Logic!

And . . . for the first time, once a project (with SD3) was loaded I got a temporary ‘Number of midi ports changed’ flag in the top right corner (just as jord pictured above)

O yeah!

3rd party plugs for sure.

But what I’d really love to see in SD4 would be a sample filtering algorithm (like in XO and Atlas) which could scan sample folders and intelligently assign drums by likeness, that’d be the bom.

Another thing that would float my boat would be to see a stem splitter inside SD4 that would not only analyse and split up an audio drum break but also turn it into a midi file, a more ambitious yet simplified version of Tracker.

Okay, there must be a configuration issue because as I said right at the outset, the message I get stops me loading Logic and doesn’t resemble either of the messages you illustrate. This is what comes up on my desktop when trying to load Logic (when SD3 is instantiated in a project).

In fact, you can do everything you are doing while these notifications are happening.

Untrue, Logic locks up and won’t load till I okay the dialogue box.

If I were to turn off my keyboard, I would expect that Logic would tell me that I lost my MIDI device.

Also untrue. No notes appear in the control bar and display, end of story.

[sunbambino]

Hehe, obviously I never read manuals (if I can possibly help it)

I’m sure you’re right about Omni, and it’s good to know at least that neither Logic or SD3 are misfunctioning.

But I still feel the rightness of my original point, ie I can see the validity of a notification telling me that midi channels or connections have not been set up correctly but I cannot see the point of a message which tells me with tiresome regularity about something which is totally fine, which needs no adjustment or looking into, a notification which interrupts – ten times a day – the smooth loading of Logic.

You explain this as ‘Logic doing its work properly’. Once again you’re right I’m sure, but I’m gonna raise this in a Logic forum and see what the experts say over there.

Cheerz for your input.

You would probably know better than I but here’s what an AI overview says re Omni offering core audio and midi functions… I know AI can be wrong tho

Yes, Omnisphere provides core audio and MIDI functionality through its standalone application and as a plugin within a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). It allows for both audio and MIDI output, enabling users to integrate it into their music production workflows

[sunbambino]

You are most probably more technically knowledgeable than I am but as far as I know Omnisphere, for instance, provides midi output capabilities in Logic Pro.

 

 

[sunbambino]

Fair enough, Jordan, thanks for your input. But since I don’t see Logic reporting new midi channels with any other of my 1000+ plugs (Omnisphere, Falcon, Addictive Drums etc) I have to ask myself – and the board – ‘Why is SD3 unique in this annoying manner?’

Frankly I don’t want to be notified in this way, it’s a pain tbh.

Why can’t Toontrack set up the AU SD3 so that it just invisibly creates these extra channels but does not have to get in my face and tell me every time like some hyperdiligent rubberneck?

Of course you’re right that I should be worried if the channels were not created for some obscure reason and then, yes, then I would wanna be notified of this, definitely.

 

[sunbambino]

So frustrating, still not there.

I right click the folder I want exclude, hit Exclude, it turns red.

Then I save Default project (‘Set Current to Def Proj’) hit Overwrite and exit the standalone.

I reopen and they’re still there

[sunbambino]

Just tried this without result, the folders to be excluded turned red, I saved a new default, closed SD3 and reopened…. still there.

[sunbambino]

Hey Henrik,

Still not 100% clear on this, I’m not using EZDrummmer but SD3.

Does the same apply, just save a default after Excluding?

Cheerz n thankz

The head-scratching is over, cheerz Henrik

In the first s/shot under Part Presets you see ‘Drum Kits’ then ‘Mixers’

‘Mixers’ only contains Default. Why?

I want to save a custom User Mixer setup to this list so I can swop out mixers at need.

Does the software not allow this?

Cool, Henrik, tnkz for this info
