I’m not seeing this behaviour in Logic either. I’m using a standard Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad and both work as expected.

You might want to check your Gestures as well as Accessibility as John suggested.

If it was gesture or mouse related, wouldn’t the problem happen on both plugin & standalone?  Are you on MacOS 26.02 and Logic 12?

Not necessarily. Daws can interpret so called standard commands differently than standalone. For instance cmd-W will close a whatever Finder window has focus but in ProTools it won’t close a plugin window if it has focus.

Another question for the OP: what exact mouse are you using and what exact driver? There are some that one can set actions that are program specific. Or are squirelly like Steermouse. I don’t care how ‘expert’ one thinks they are on computers there’s always the simplest of things (that you wouldn’t think they’d cause a problem) that can cause a problem. Been in the computer thing for decades and have seen some really odd problems that defy logic.

One more option I didn’t mention and from the way the OP is talking I’d take a look at VE Pro. One ethernet cable between the two machines and VE Pro takes care of the rest. No streaming library content from one machine to another. It does use iLok now as Vienna dumped the Steinberg key a couple of years ago. I ran it when I had two Mac desktops running at the same time. It’s also good on just one machine to help with hosting plugins outside a daw cpu draw.

The simplest and best thing would be to get a separate drive and put all the libraries on it and move it to each machine as needed. Would also take out the headache of networking things. You really need to have all the content on a separate drive to begin with so if things go south you still have access to your content. And you wouldn’t be stressing your other machine needlessly.

If you’re on a Mac you’d have to use target mode. Google is your friend for that. Also it would be good if you included your basic info like operating system when asking for help here.

What mouse are you using? Most Apple brand rodents are aweful pieces of junk. As to text typing slowly that’s symbolic of a computer running too many things at one time or running the keyboard & mouse on a wireless Bluetooth setup. Strictly speaking it’s not MacOS as the culprit. Both of your problems are not endemic to SD3.

Also which plugin format as DP can use not only AU but also vst format.

Cool you’re back in business. One of those things you don’t think would have other than obvious effect.

Update, so support had me do the following:

After enabling the usage of those MIDI devices and shutting down Superior Drummer 3, please run the following command in Terminal/Command Prompt and send us the result:

Copy and paste this into the command prompt window, then press Enter.
reg query HKCU\SOFTWARE\Toontrack\Superior3\Host64 /s /v “MidiDevice*”

I sent them the results and this is what they said:

“We have been able to reproduce the issue and it is happening because your eDrumIn devices all have the same MIDI port name.
Are you able to change how your eDrumIn modules are broadcasting their MIDI port names? Maybe in their control software, if that exists?”

I will need to post on the eDrumin forum to ask about the above as I’m not sure if it’s possible to send different port names per box?

 

I should hope you can change the port name/number. Although considering that you can only daisy chain 2 boxes it might not be possible elsewise why the limit? Have you tried daisy chaining 2 boxes and going direct with the other box? I’m chasing something similar but on a Mac and daisy chaining firewire drives on my non-daw computer. The daisy chaining has stopped working.

Happy tinnitus

This will supposed problem will NOT cause tinnitus. Unless you’re working at insanely high levels. Granted it’s a shock but not the issue you’re making it out to be. What kind of level are you working at?

Nope, the default preset.

No hiss there.

What hiss? I can’t hear any. There is a bit of ringing though.

I actually don’t find it all that much of a problem but then again I don’t have my regular levels up all that high to begin with. Trying to protect my ears and also that I don’t get ear fatigue. That’s why they invented volume controls. There’s no reason to run your levels at max all the time when writing music.

My ears are ringing every time I select a part of the kit. Can you please forward my request so they can try to fix this?

4+ years later and nothing has changed. It’s still full volume when clicking on a kit piece because a mouse click is not velocity sensitive and only sends a velocity of 127.

Did you file a bug report with Toontrack? If so you may be able to find it but if it was via email then there’s no way to find it here.

That being said check the velocity of the hits going to SD3. Also the velocity curve in SD3. Where are you doing the mixing – in the SD3 mixer or your daw? If in the mixer check your levels there. If in your daw check there and make sure you’re not over-compressing things. Also check make-up gain on any compression you’re using.
