Superior 2.3 – E-kit mapping that sticks

[Magnus]

Hello.
I’ve been trying to read through all the threads here but haven’t found 1 that adresses my question and haven’t figured
wether this is a bug or if it’s not implemented yet or if / what i do wrong.

I have a 2Box drumit 5 that i’ve successfully mapped with the Avatar (built in) Metal foundry, Music City Usa, Custom&Vintage and now begun to do so with my newest additions, Evil drums and New York legacy series.

What i don’t know is why i can’t have the mapping stick between SDX’s that for example Addicitive drums do.. totally inconvenient to have to load a combined preset each and every time i want to change kit’s. I have also tried to make midi maps but that didn’t work either.

Even Steven Slate is working towards the “Addicitive” way with the new SSD4 – letting the user make 1 mapping that sticks.

This is the only thing that makes me use, sorry to say , Addictive drums when tracking, because i don’t have to worry about “re-learning” lost triggers while finding the right kit for the production, and in the heat of the moment i don’t want to get techy.

I would love to hear a comment on this.

(I have to mention that S2 with some of the expansions is by far the best sounding drums of the bunch so it’s abit of a pain to use this workaround.)

Hi,

first of all, I just want to remind you to stay updated on both plugin and libraries.

What I have done with my Hart Pro/Roland TD-12 setup, is that I loaded the ‘E-drums’ factory MIDI Preset on the Mapping page in the plugin and tweaked it from there.
Next, I saved this as my own MIDI Preset.
If I load another SDX or EZX, I just apply my own User Preset, which is a 2-click operation.

IIRC, the possibility to make the current MIDI mapping Default mapping, just like you can with libraries, has been requested before but feel free to post such a request in the ‘Requests & Feedback’ Section.

BR,
John

Hello John.
Thanks for the fast answer.
Yes i tried to do that Midi-thing but i couldn’t get it to work with my 2box kit.. i guess i tried to make it default but it just didn’t do anything.. and i had to re-learn the hihat cc and everything too.. but i’ll try it tomorrow again to see if i missed anything.. Thanks anyway.

I will certainly make a request for this, because i get annoyed if the drums doens’t sound right while tracking.. i can’t concentrate 😀

Hello again.
I just rescently found out that the MIDI-mapping actually worked, but can’t confirm if it were the Combined preset  for each kit i created or what.
But i wan’t to know if i could save this Midi-mapping as a “default” so i don’t need to assign it every time i load superior or when i switch Expansions?

[John]

Hi,

this should be save as a MIDI Preset on the Mapping page, so it isn’t a Combined Preset thing. Well, MIDI mapping is of course part of a Combined Preset but for what you are asking about, it’s the MIDI Preset you save.
Making a MIDI Preset a Default mapping is currently not possible but it shouldn’t be more than a 2-click operation to apply it.
And if you save a Combined Preset with your MIDI mapping applied, it should of course be included.

BR,
John

Hello again.
Yes i’m already aware about the 2-click operation but when you have your e-kit slightly off where you have the computer and also have several expansions you want to try to different songs it easily ends up a mere 20-or more-click operations.. i mean the whole problem would have been solved if one could overwrite the default MIDI-mapping that is loaded with the plug.. but if that is incorporated in the code it’s a bit harder..

But is it so complicated to change this in the code?

Please post in the Requests & Feedback section to add this to the Feature list.

Ok thanks.
Would you be so kind to point me in that direction, i don’t find it anywhere on those pages.

[Magnus]

Ok, thanks!
