Hi Ofek, the $100 is my total offer (not with license fee added on top). If you intend adding license fee on top then you should say this up front as no one on this site so far has added license fee to their sell price. Thanks, Andrew

Yeah I have a feeling that some of the long standing requests (like ability to rearrange mixer channels, issues in above thread, fixing hi-hat articulation transitions etc) are likely to be in SD4 and not fixes applied to SD3 !! maybe I’m too cynical  ??

I often bind multiple faders to a single macro – use “bind to macro parameter” which is underneath “bind to cc” in Brad’s response above. The advantage is you can also name these. As an example I bind all ambience channels in one macro I call “AMB All” and then once I have set balance for each individual ambience channels, I then have the ability to fine tune and alter all ambience channels together (in same ratio) with the once macro knob. You can also do it for bus channels and outputs if you use multi channel output – whatever you require.

This helps me as I am an e-drummer and need to minimise amount of faders I adjust “at the kit”. Hope this is of use. cheers, Andrew

Hi Jord – I have a question and can also give some input on yr questions. I have just bought FOR and looks great but I need time to explore properly. From what you have seen is there anything in Rock Foundry that I cant get in FOR ? (refer my question earlier on in this thread)

I have D&D and Hansa (and now FOR) but not Decades. D&D and Hansa are awesome and from what I see of what you do and your comments above, I think these 2 would be best choice and can certainly say they are both my current favourites. FOR is now likely to be part of my top 3. Cheers, Andrew

I was going to buy Rock Foundry SDX, so I am glad I haven’t yet as FOR may be a better option. It is already the 5th where I am and no sign yet !!

I have a Yamaha DTX900 module and I just set up a user drum kit that I call “superior” for use with SD3. I just adjust the MIDI notes output by the module on this user kit to suit SD3 and my setup (pads/cymbals) as I use 38 separate triggers (not including hi hat). Then I remap if required in SD3 for any other SDX libraries so the one “superior” user kit on my module works for all kits/libraries I have set up in SD3. I also set up my own drum map in my DAW (Cubase) so it shows each of the 38 “instruments” I can trigger.

Hi Toontrack Development team. I think there are many of us who LOVE SD3 and think it is an AWESOME product but feel that there is one weakness pointed out by many users on this forum and other internet posts – the lack of smoothness and realism in Hi Hat transitions when used by e-drummers. It looks like there is a great opportunity here for Toontrack to take it to the next level and pretty much eliminate the one “weakness” identified. There are many experienced users/MIDI programmers such as some of those in this thread that are giving very definitive and informed options to improve. I echo MintberryCrunch and request that “it’s definitely worthy of further exploration”.

There would be lots of positive comments to a thread “Toontrack have fixed the Hi Hat transition issues and have THE BEST AND MOST REALISTIC electronic hi hat”. The challenge is there for the taking – over to you Toontrack.

cheers, Andrew

Thanks “MintberryCrunch”. As you know I have been using your fix successfully for a while now. Crossfades between open-closed stages in SD3 would seem to be part of the solution and I notice that this was part of a previous thread discussion.

Topic: Non-smooth transition between hi-hat samples | Toontrack

Damian and Toontrack team – is cross fading for hi-hat articulations under consideration as a fix and if so is it likely to do what we think it should ? The drum and cymbal sounds in SD3 are fantastic and so close to acoustic sounds. An improvement in hi-hat realism would be the icing on the cake and would set Superior Drummer 3 apart from all other options. cheers, Andrew

Thanks Damian for your detailed explanation – very helpful and clears up a lot. Unfortunately I don’t have my Yamaha DTX900 module with me to be able to “test” these new settings as it is in for repair and I cannot access it due to a long and protracted lockdown ! I don’t use hi-hat splashes so this is not a concern for me. What I do want to be able to do is a fast cymbal roll on the hi-hat and gradually lift the pedal all the way up and then gradually close it all the way down to generate a foot chick (or closed pedal note) with a continuous roll. When I do this I want to have a relatively smooth transition from fully closed to fully open and then again a smooth transition back to fully closed. Is this likely to give a smooth transition or is it always going to sound like an electronic replication of a hi-hat due to the “sharp” transition that occurs at whatever CC value generates the next articulation. And if so am I likely to have a less noticeable transition with all the 8 available articulations (not including closed pedal) or is it better to not have as many articulations ie say 4-6 of these rather than all 8 (where 8 are actually available).

I cant wait to get my module back so I can experiment with these settings but in the meantime would love to hear your thoughts or those of any other e-drummers. Obviously the acoustic hi hat is the most difficult instrument to replicate with electronic hi-hat triggers using cc values along with edge/bow and bell articulations (where available – bell not an option with Yamaha RHH135). cheers, Andrew

I use a single stereo output for recording with 16 bit so my user kit is approx 2070 MB. I still have busses and multiple channel outputs but don’t route to these when recording MIDI so all Busses route to stereo Out 1/2.

When I am rendering to audio and creating stems, I then use all multiple outputs and the 32 bit kit which is approx 3664 MB in my case. I have uploaded a few screenshots to show this setup. I use a lot of extra user channels for extra instruments.

I record in DAW (Cubase) as I use a Hi Hat fix from MintberryCrunch (https://www.toontrack.com/forums/users/arno-meyer/) and this gives me a much higher degree of realism in feel and sound when playing hi-hat. It enables me to use 7 articulations for edge and 7 for bow even though the Yamaha RHH135 hi-hat I use only has a single closed and open articulation for bow and edge respectively. This also demands more CPU usage and is another reason I only use 16 bit versions for recording.

Hope this helps
