Hi,

I am pretty sure that the 9×12″ Tom is a Rack Tom. My guess is that when the Custom Shop EZX was created, the majority of the kits were RT1, FT1 and FT2.
The 9×12″ Fibes Maple has an extra “- Rack Tom” in its name, to clarify that it’s a Rack Tom that loads “natively”, so to speak, in the FT1 position but it is a Rack Tom.
To have this Rack Tom load as a RT2 would have meant different graphics for this EZX where all other kits would have had an empty slot for the RT2 position.
It does get a bit confusing when you Search for it in SD3 and the picture that shows up is a generic Floor Tom but I guess that’s because it fetches the basic position for it in the EZX config. You can load a Rack Tom in a Floor Tom position and vice versa in both EZD3 and SD3.

BR,
John

Thanks John. Understand that I can load into either racktom or floortom slots but I’ve shown another screenshot below where I have added it into a racktom position and no graphics showing (not that graphics important to sound) – the lack of a racktom graphic doesnt look good ! cheers Andrew

Hi,

any instrument you load in another position than its “native” in SD3 will get an even more generic picture than the black shells, more like an e-drum.
I.e. this particular Rack Tom is an odd bird, since it is a Rack Tom that has its native position in the Floor Tom slot.

John

Thanks John – I think I understand.

On a side note do you think Toontrack will ever look at the graphical representation of EZD3 and EZX drum pieces in SD3 or are the generic black toms and silver snares here to stay. It is a bit of a pain as I lose that quick visual reference to know I’ve got the correct kit loaded – especially in live e-kit situations. I often use EZD3 and EZX kit pieces in SD3 for certain musical situations. I often use the “Kicks & Snare” EZX and not being able to “see” the snare or kick to know I’ve got the correct one is a bit frustrating – again especially in live situations. cheers, Andrew

Well,

if I knew, I still couldn’t tell you;-) NDA’s n’ stuff. What I do know is that stuff that gets requested by many users, tends to find its way into the software, if it is feasible.
