drumjack52I was going to write something snarky about reading the manual so I downloaded it and the only thing about making a digital connection to a computer so you could use the module and pads to trigger sounds on the computer is a picture of the back of the module and shows the 5 pin MIDI I/O connections and that’s it. No procedure or diagram about how to do what you want. Like Mark said you need to connect the MIDI out of the module to the input of a MIDI interface connected to your computer. Some audio interfaces have a MIDI connector you can use. Being you’re on a Mac you can make the settings in either audio/MIDI setup directly in MacOS or via a menu selection in SD3 which will bring up that MacOS utility. Don’t forget to select the Mimic preset in SD3’s edrum/MIDI menu.
It seems myopic of Pearl to assume that their sounds are so awesome that you’ll never need to use other sounds on a computer.

Reply To: Can I use another Disk in my Win7 Pc to buy new SDX(Disk”c” no more space) version: 3.3.7
Operating system: Windows 7
What version you have a Superior Drummer doesn’t affect what you can or can’t do with moving the EZX’s. Two separate programs.

Thanked by: myrondrumjack52Your request has been implemented in the latest update, congrats
Is there a switch for it and if so where? I didn’t see a changelog in the Product Manager.

drumjack52You can add as many drives as you want – the operating system doesn’t really matter. You’ll have to point SD3 to the new/added locations for the content. A couple of things to be aware of: don’t have duplicate files in different places – have them all in one place. Another is to make sure that the new SDX’s will run on your specific revision of SD3. They may or may not but it’s good to check. You would do well to have all your content in one place and NOT on your system drive. That way if/when the system drives goes down you still have the content and not have to redownload and install it. Don’t ask how I come about with that last statement.
Oh yeah – when you do add the extra drives make sure they are turned on before starting your computer and also make sure that you have turned off all power savings bits and bobs in Windows. Even on a desktop Windows still has such stupidity enabled by default.

Thanked by: Scott Eshlemandrumjack52There is no ‘Sound/MIDI Library’ tab in the settings page. If I understand you right you had everything working okay before. All you had to do is to drag the content (not the SD3 program itself as that stays on your system drive) to the new drive. Wanted to include a screenshot of my setting page but for the life of me there’s no easy way to do so.

drumjack52Just drop them on the new drive and don’t forget to tell SD3 where the files are.

Thanked by: Scott Eshlemandrumjack52I’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.

drumjack52Another 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.

drumjack52One 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.

Thanked by: Scott Eshlemandrumjack52The 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.

Thanked by: Scott Eshleman and Braddrumjack52What 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.

Thanked by: Braddrumjack52Cool you’re back in business. One of those things you don’t think would have other than obvious effect.
