I’m not sure what you mean by ‘bigger kits’? What kits do you see? Can you post a pic?

this is what im talking about,,,are these type of kits in the program.do these not work in superior drummer?when i switch from thrash kit to death kit the configurations do not change

[Scott]

That’s the EZD2 interface. The kit pieces and sounds should be the same in S2, just not the pretty pictures.

thanks scott..im not worried about the pictures,,but the configs do not seem to change from one kit to another…so far im using it on solo mode not in my reaper daw yet

i just went back in to try again…when i switch from kit to kit they are all the same….

When you switch kits from the Construct dropdown menu, does the Memory & Status section indicate a new kit is loading? The kit pieces change from one kit to another without any graphical changes.

What snare is loaded in the Default kit? What snare is loaded in the Metal kit?

the status does indicate a new kit is being loaded but no actual configuration change,,,also the drums all sound the same,,i tested each one with the kick drum and no change in tone

14″ pearl in the default kit……….14″sonor 2 in the metal kit

[mesa metal]

what should each kit look like?

also scott my reaper daw cannot find where superior2 is located…..i have it all on D; drive not my main C; drive do i need to move everything to c drive…..i installed a separate drive just for these things..very frustrating

In post #9 above, I asked if the snare changes. I believe the kit presets use the same kick.

Each kit should ‘look’ the same. Each kit should use different snares and cymbals.

Where is the superior drummer.dll installed? Not the sound, the plugin .dll. You can do a Windows search for Superior Drummer.dll. That plugin install location needs to be set in Reaper.
