That‘s why the MimicPro is selling like hell with the slate products.

I recieved mine a few days ago and just by hearing some of the sounds over my headphone makes my heart go boom!

I will let you know my experiences in a few month if you want.

Cheers, Ilja

stay healthy y’all

Hi Paul,

you can’t export the whole Set. You can export one shot samples when  you use a DAW. The kits in the TD-50 are also multilayered to get a more realistic dynamic for your playing. If you want to play your SD3 on a live gig without using a computer, the only way I know is to use a Drumit5 for example. There is a Software which is able to convert your VST Sounds to import it to the drumit module. But . . . it will not sound 100% like your VST Drum out of the software, because it get’s played back by the module. There are lots of videos out there that show off what is possible with the drumit module and how it sounds.

I’m still waiting for Toontrack doing a cooperation like Slate did with Pearl and the MimicPro. Maybe there will be a way with the GEWA G9 . . . . the guys at GEWA recorded the sound also in Hansa Studios as far as I know. Or create a System like the old Muse Receptor, but with new up to date Hardware to handle those massive libraries.

Cheers  Ilja

Hi!!!

How do you send your Midisignal to SD3? The TD-20 has no USB-Port. Is the incoming SD3-Midisignal equal to other Midisignal like in Nuendo or another VST? Are you using it in a DAW or Solo?

Hi!

Do I get you right, you have two HiHats with two Footcontrollers?

Or do you just have a second Hihat(Pad) that is controlled by the “Mainfootcontroller”?
What kind of Set do you have?

Hi Sonny,
don’t know if SD3 is able to learn Midi from a TD50. But I did something quite similar a few years ago with my TD-30, Mainstage and a Midicontroller.

Depends on what you want to do . . . studio or live gigging . . . .
Wondering what Toontrack’s answer to this question will be.

Hi Marcus,
why do you want to use the Standaloneversion of SD3? You can import SD3 as VST Instrument/Plud in to Logic as far as I know.

Hi!
Why do you want to buy physical copies by Thomann?? You can download lots discounted Download Licenses on the same Page.

I took a look but couldn’t find SD3 itself . . . do you already have SD3? Otherwise the SDX’s won’t work for you.
Anyway . . . if you buy the hardcopies you save time on downloading all that stuff you want to install. You will have to register your Serialnumbers on your Toontrack-Account. After the Installation you can update all that stuff you installed to the newest Versions via the Productmanager.

So have yourself a merry christmas time and enjoy installing during the holidays!!!!
But remember . . it will also take some Time until your Packages will be delivered by Thomann.

Hohoho, yours Ilja

Hi Joste,

But it perfectly works in standalone i guess, right?

Hi!!

You use Drum-Tec?? Are you from Germany??
If it so, we could talk in German aside this forum via Mail . . . .
What Module do you use for triggering??

Yes, it is possible to put 2 SSD’s in a MacMini late 2012. It’s a bit tricky and you have to be careful, but I did it by myself.
There are some Videos on Youtube as a how to and you need some Special Tools and a Mounting-Kit (avaiable on the net).

If you want contact me for further Infos in german use der.ilja@gmx.de

The question is, are you using an Audiointerface?
I did and got rid of these problems as i bought my rme interface.
Nowadays I use my TD-30 as my Interface and have no problems at all while playing live.
Are you using SD3 only under Studio/Production-Conditions??

Aaaah yes, I forgot my MacMini Setup which runs clean at the moment.
I’ve got a MacMini Late 2012, Quadcore i7 2,3 Ghz, 16GB RAM, 2 x 256 GB SSD under HighSierra.
Never change a running system 😉 and it works fine for me.
I also use several other VST-Plugins such as BFD3 or SSD5. They all work fine und Reaper.
This is also a point that is important I think, how massive is your DAW performing?!??!?

I think the key might be the ammount of RAM and how many cores you have.
The SSD’s are just for loading the kit quickly into the RAM. Once it is loaded the SSD won’t be affected anymore, as far as I know.

So far from me and my experiences I have.

Cheers Ilja

Worked fine for me . . . . .

Hi there!

I tried this setup two years ago. But MS is pain in the …. for this. I had the same mac mini with two ssd running and even a RME Fireface, a real fat setup. But MS always made problems. You should take a look at LiveProfessor. They have a 30 day tryout with full functionality. MS works great with it’s onboard instruments for keyboards and so on, but not for thirt part VST’s.

I took my first steps with a state of the art Windows8 Laptop with bloxpander. The software was top notch for this project, but windows8 Was a crap!

Maybe this info helps you out . . . .

cheers and greetings from Cologne

Hi there!!!
That’s my wish for years!!
The only reason I haven’t updated to SD3 is to save the money for an upcoming Drumbrain, that serves real natural sounding drums, like maybe the GEWA G9 Workstation that will be launched in September i think. The reason I use E-Drums is to be very flexible on stage regarding the song and what it needs. The Audience deserves to get the sound of a song as near as possible to the original. For me as a TOP40 Band Drummer, you need to be up with the needed sound in a second, especially live on stage.
Also with some ridicolous Sounds 😉 . . . . or real E-Sounds for som Club-, R&B Dance and House Stuff.
You at Toontrack do such a great job with your sounds and libraries that are really outstanding! So please think about doing as wished a thousand times, by a thousand drummers.
Why do you think, that such a lot of Drumcompanies come up with Drumbrains that have VST based Sounds?!???
The market for a flexible system is much bigger than you think.

I agree with GT_4, we need something affordable, good sounding, opensourced VST-Player for Liveperformance!!!!!
Yours Ilja

I preferred Bloxpander for Live-Playing on stage. Much quicker an a better overview.
But it depends on you. I just recommend to take a closer look at Bloxpander.
Another maybe helpful Information is, that the Programmer of Bloxpander was a employer at Toontrack for several years.
He helped me a lot and was very kind. Just for information

[Ilja Körrer]

@eheller
when I was on PC I used Bloxpander. Very good Software. You can build different scenes which can be recalled by Midi through your Drumbrain for example.
Look for Bloxpander by EAReckon. But this not a DAW.

If you are looking for a DAW I can recommend REAPER. Works in both worlds.
A lot of Software for just a few bucks . . . .

Cheers Ilja
