I have been experimenting to use macros to adjust the natural acoustics of the kits while setting up mixes. The macros include the levels of ambient microphones and some of the leakage microphones. Depending on how the mix proceeds I can quckly adjust the dry/wet balance in the SD3 submix.

If I understand the problem correctly…

If you replace the drum with the corresponding sampled SD3 drum you will also be able to use the sampled ambient and leakage included with that particular SD3-drum. The result would be the same as if  the drummer had played on e-drums into SD3.

Hi,

though the standard kit setup is 3 rack toms and 2 floor toms, you can add more and custom map them.
The kits are sampled with different amount of toms:
The Gretsch has got 1 rack tom and 1 floor tom
The Ayotte Classic 3 rack toms and 2 floor toms
The Pearl Masterworks 4 rack toms and 2 floor toms
The Yamaha Beech Custom 3 rack toms and 3 floor toms
The Premier Genista 2 rack toms and 2 floor toms
The Ludwig 70s 3-ply Classic 5 rack toms and 2 floor toms
The Ludwig 70s 3-ply Concert 10 rack toms and 2 floor toms

BR,
John

When I select the default Ludwig Default Concert kit it only loads with 3 rack toms and 2 floor toms, rather than the 10 toms you mention John.  Why is this please?  I’m running V3.1.4

My go at an explanation (correct me if I’m off somewhere):

The Superior 3 factory kit toms are allt recorded in one of 5 fixed tom positions – 3 rack and 2 floor (if a preset contains fewer, ghost images of the empty slots are shown in the graphics).   The same goes for the cymbals that are recorded in one of 6 positions left to right. Therefore, if you want to use more than 5 toms in a kit (or more than 6 cymbals) you will have to add them as extra instruments, appearing in the top left corner.

However, as they were recorded in place in a kit, in one of the 5 positions,  by default the extra toms will appear in in the sound field at the same L/R position as one of the 5 standard tom positions unless you manually change their pan position in the mixer. As an example, my default kit contains the 7 toms of the Pearl kit. I’ve added the two smallest toms as extra instruments. Both are recorded in the leftmost rack position 1, so I have adjusted the pan in their mixer channels to make them appear further to the left of their original rack position 1.
