Thanks Henrik for your reply and advice.
I am sorry to hear this option in the browser Groove Tab has been eliminated. To be able to SEE the instruments in a groove and click/solo any one of them in real time (let’s say Hi Hat) and then click on another groove and solo that, and continue doing this until you find the hi hat groove you need was a helpful tool to locating/auditioning instrument parts. All this without ever having to do the Copy.Paste,Click,Choose process you described above. Plus this process would have to be done for each Groove
you wanted to solo an instrument in. Another plus of this was the ease of just dragging this chosen groove with the solo’d instrument down to the track.
If possible I would like to add a consideration to future firmware updates an added box to the right in the Groove browser that would show the intstruments in that groove and the ability to solo any combination of those instruments, as found in SD2.
Thanks again for your help and looking forward to digging deeper into this program.

My apologies, I never looked at the SD3 complete Software/Core Library page and thought it came as an SSD Drive when purchased. I see it too is a download and the SSD Core Library is an additional add on.
Clears things up completely. Thanks for everyone’s help and time.

Morning Olle. Exactly. So as an owner of Superior Drummer 2 wanting to UPGRADE to Superior Drummer 3, anticipating trouble downloading 230GBs of data my only options to get it pre loaded on a SSD Drive are:
Purchase UPGRADE package which includes SD3 License and Core Library as a download ($199.00) and then purchase the additional SSD Core Library $199.00) for a total of $398.00
OR
Purchase the complete program SD3 Software/Core Library for $399.00
Just trying to find if there was another option for those wanting a pre-loaded SSD that are UPGRADING to SD3.

Thanks for your reply Ollie. Let me say first I use Sweetwater all the time and find them to be the best in product and customer service. I called them yesterday and the Sales Engineer explained the purchase of an Upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0 to be:
The purchase of the UPGRADE to 3.0 is a complete download that includes the Superior Drummer 3 License and the Complete Core Library. But if I wanted my Core Library on an SSD, I would have to purchase my own SSD , download the file and transfer the file over to the SSD myself. $199.00
The Sales Engineer did say I could purchase the Core Sound Library on SSD if I wanted but it would be an additional $199.00 which is your above sent link. But after purchasing the UPGRADE I would have 2 complete Core Sound Libraries and be up to $399.00
I could purchase the complete program with License and CSL for $399.00
I was hoping there would be an option to UPGRADE from 2.0 to 3.0 that would be the complete SD3 Software and CSL on a pre loaded SSD Drive or purchase a discounted UPGRADE SOFTWARE alone and purchase the Complete Core Library ($199.00) on SSD.
My concern about the massive download comes from my experience with an East/West Symphony String Diamond program that was an exhausting process to download . file and getting it to work correctly. A pre-loaded SSD UPGRADE choice would be a welcome option from a loyal SD2 user. :)))
