Hi,

please expand on your setup: which hardware you are using and which E-drums MIDI Preset you are using; if you have checked X-talk settings in your module, used a MIDI In monitor to check what’s coming in, etc.

If you have customized your own MIDI Preset, it could also be a good idea to zip and attach it to a post here.

Hi Charles,

have you submitted a Ticket to Toontrack Support?
Also, this Forum section is not for Product Help and Support topics. EZdrummer Help is over here: https://www.toontrack.com/forums/forum/ezdrummer-line/ezdrummer-help/

Hi,

though these recorded articulations are rare, you should find them in some of your libraries, starting with the SD3 Core. Look for ‘Crescendo’ and ‘FX’ articulations when you select a Cymbal. They are not active by Default, so you have to ‘Power’ them on. If the articulation is greyed out and you can’t enable it, it either isn’t recorded for the currently selected instrument or it is recorded with another Tool, like a Rod or Brush.

When it comes to Crescendos/Diminuendos MIDI, you can always use the included ones in the Superior Drummer 3>Extras>Cymbal Stuff folder, either as they are or as starting points for tweaking.

John

Hi,

the keyboard shortcuts for the context menu commands (when you right-click a note) in the EZdrummer 3 Grid Editor can currently not be changed.
In EZbass and EZkeys 2 the keyboard shortcut for Mute Note in the Grid Editor can be changed.
I guess this makes for a feature request in the ‘Requests & Feedback’ section?

Are Toontrack products (SD3, EZKeys, EZBass) not Silicon adapted? Do macOS updates make dragging grooves to Logic midi tracks problematic? Is Toontrack working on this?

Hi, all current Toontrack products (as in not discontinued) are indeed silicon Native and have been for some time, which means you do not need to run your host in Rosetta mode.
I have not seen this myself and seen no other reports of this, so it seems to happen locally on your computer.

Can you open the SD3 standalone and drag MIDI to the Desktop/Finder?

You can always try Reset & Rescan in the Logic Plug-In Manager and/or clearing your Audio Units cache.

Since you can open the plug-ins in Logic and the crash happens when you drag MIDI from plug-in to Logic, I would guess it has something to do with damaged permissions.
Perhaps First Aid on your drive?

Can you salvage any crash reports/logs?

Hi,

in a broad sense, you add an EQ in one of the Effects slots in the SD3 Mixer and then you add EQ nodes by double-clicking in the graph. Set a Shape for your node (notch, bell, shelving, etc), set a frequency, Q (width), Slope, etc and add or subtract Gain for that node.


If you are looking for more specific guidance for EQing certain drums, it totally depends on instrument and context.

Hi David,

if the MIDI is on the SD3 Song Track, you can just open the Grid Editor and click the ‘Snare’ label on the Snare notation lane (make sure no specific part is selected). This selects all Snare notes.

If your MIDI is on a track in your DAW, it depends on your DAW but e.g. in Pro Tools, I can click a note on my keyboard layout in the Note view and this selects all notes on that key/note.

John
