Hi John,

Thanks for your reply but I am lost trying to understand what you are saying.  Maybe the simpler way to ask about this is whether you can just create either a mono or stereo channel for each pad that will trigger the sample.  Or is this just a fixed number (16) of stereo channels that can’t be modified?

I also don’t understand your references to SDX and EZX.  Please elaborate on what these acronyms stand for.

Thanks,

Paul

Thanks Scott for the confirmation.  Now I need a recommendation on going PC or Mac.  Which platform runs SD3 best with minimal or no latency.

Hi,

the system requirements from the product page:

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS.
64-bit Windows 7 or newer, 4 GB RAM (8 GB RAM or more recommended). Mac OS X 10.6 or higher, 64-bit Intel-based Mac with 4 GB RAM (8 GB RAM or more recommended).
64-bit host (with support for VST, AU or AAX). Standalone is included.
SOFTWARE: Approx. 320 MB download + installation space.
SOUND LIBRARY: Basic install: Approx. 41 GB download and an additional 41 GB for the installation process. Complete install: Approx. 236 GB download and an additional 55 GB for the installation process.
SSD install (optional): Approx. 236 GB pre-installed.

To be able to load big kits for live use, I’d recommend 16GB RAM.

The Standalone app has got 16 Stereo Outputs (or 32 Mono outputs, L and R can be routed independently) and these can be routed to your hardware.
I’d recommend using an Audio Interface with low latency drivers and fast connection, like Thunderbolt or USB-C, and as many separate outputs as you think you need in a live situation.

A few percussion instruments are included in the Core Sounds but those are Claps, Snaps and Cowbell. Well, there are Shakers, Maracas and Tambourines as well but those are not meant for Live triggering use, they are meant to be used with the internal Groove functions.

BR,
John

Hello John,

I found this topic and it is something I have been investigating as well.  Currently thinking about going from a Roland TD module to trigger Superior Drummer 3 samples but want to then output the individual drum samples from SD3 back out of the computer into a Thunderbolt audio interface and have that connect to front of house.  Can the SD3 mixer output the separate individual drum channels so that FOH has control of each drum?  I’ve seen videos that provide info on outputting from SD3 to a DAW for recording but I just need the SD3 drum samples from the computer.  Can SD3 work this way?

Bump….anyone?? I’m surprised there’s been no comments.
