Superior Drummer 3 : will we still need x-drum to replace kit pieces?

[Richard Spillers]

I was curious to know, do we still have to use the x-drum if we want to replace kit pieces?
Or will it be just as easy as in Ezdrummer 2 with the x-drum being for extra kit pieces?
I just always felt it would be a waste of resources to have the kick I want and still be stuck with the 1 I don’t.
kinda why I never bought SD2.
Thanks in advance.

Yes – all positions can be replaced with any instrument – from any SDX or EZX expansion 🙂

Hi Henrik.
If i replace a Cymbal with a Ride the Ride-Grafic is not the Original.
Its showing a grafic from a Roland-E-Cymbal (Black-Cymbal).
Is this a bug or its a visual for “not the correct place for a ride”? – this would be in conflict with ur state above:
“all positions can be replaced with any instrument”…
greetings

It’s correct that a generic e-drum is shown when an instrument that doesn’t originate from the selected position is loaded – a kick on a cymbal position, for example. Strange visual things would happen if a kick was shown at the cymbal position, so we chose to show a generic instrument, as if it triggered another instrument.

It doesn’t go against the fact that all positions can be replaced with any instrument – this is only how they are visually represented

Nice..
but a ride on a cymbal position is not so “far away” like a bassdrum on top of a cymbal-stand :))
so as an idea: choice to change the generic icon back to the original one…

Your idea is noted 🙂
