Is there any hope for ReWire any time soon?

[douglas]

Cue the Homerian drool.

 

(If you don’t mind.)

[douglas]

That WOULD be a great feature.

Hopefully, it’s easy to implement.  (Disclaimer:  I know almost nothing about programming/coding or whatever the kids are calling it these days.)

[douglas]

Thanks for the quick reply.

I did a bit more digging and, if I’m understanding correctly, the Toontrack Product Manager is not actually required to download or authorize Superior.

The dual boot system is probably what I’ll end up doing for now.  I’ve been using dual boot on my office computer but I always find myself back in Windows because there are one or two little Windows apps that I like to use and I’m too busy or lazy to find the Linux equivalents, which surely exist.  The same thing would apply to many of the Windows VSTs that I’ve come to know and love.  Some of them will work with Wine, no doubt but, then, Lazy Me says “Oh, it’s too much hassle trying to get all that to work.  Just use Windows….”   And, so it goes…..  (I’m getting tired just thinking about it. LOL.)

If I was to go “all in” on Linux, then I’d be forced to adapt.

Time will tell…..

I’ve installed EZDrummer 2 in Wine. This didn’t go entirely smoothly as I used an older product manager and its attempts to upgrade itself failed. I occasionally get error messages in the EZDrummer plugin saying some features are unavailable. But it works!

Hi Leigh:

Did you get the Toontrack product manager to work in Wine eventually or was some work-around required?

I just got a new PC and, although it came preloaded with Windows 10, I’d love to ditch Windows and just run Linux.  I’m a Reaper user so I’m all set in that department but setting up Superior Drummer 3 is critical for me.

[douglas]

One more vote for a Linux version. Now that Reaper has a Linux version, I can envision myself on a Linux platform.

Very cool. Quite an eclectic group of instruments. I was gonna say that the double bass sounds great, but then I realized that all the instruments sound pretty dang good.

[douglas]

That’s pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.

[douglas]

Helpful tip: If you could link to an example of the drum sound you’re after it might help you to get some insights from those who are unfamiliar with Mars Volta.

[douglas]

Thanks for posting, Buck. (I missed this post in November somehow.)

I’m really liking what I’m hearing from the Twisted kit.

Long live the porcupine!

[douglas]

Yeah, I have LP. I agree that it’s pretty much a must have for any Superior or EZ Drum owner.

[douglas]

Pretty cool stuff. Thanks for posting.

There are some good prices right now and I’m tempted but I keep getting the itch to buy more and more expansion packs when I have plenty already. However, this kit is pretty unique.
