As NKS is not (yet?) supported, I have provided some Komplete Kontrol keyboard light guide key maps for Superior Drummer here:  https://www.toontrack.com/forums/topic/komplete-kontrol-keyboard-light-guide-key-maps-for-superior-drummer/.

I cannot get it to work for the grid editor either.

+1 for this proposed feature.

I’ve tried busasia’s suggestion of renaming the instrument by amending the preset with a text editor.  I cannot see any change.  Perhaps I’m not looking in the right place.  Other contributors have mentioned the grid editor.  I’ve never used that.  Here are the two places I can think of where I might expect the preset edit to cause a change.

In the context menu for the added instrument, where it says Cymbal 1 in this example:

And in the MIDI Mapping Keys list:

When I edited the preset file, neither of these changed.  Perhaps my edit was wrong.  Here’s what I took to be the relevant section of the preset file, as at before my edit:

instbox 14 "Instrument 1" {
xpad 0 SL-SUPERIOR_DRUMMER_3 {
pos "Cymbal1"

And here’s the same section with my edit included:

instbox 14 "Istambul CN" {
xpad 0 SL-SUPERIOR_DRUMMER_3 {
pos "IstambulCN"

Line 1 looks like it might change the entry in the the MIDI Mapping Keys.  Line 3 looks like it might change the name in the added instrument’s context menu.  But neither edit had any effect that I could see.

+1 for NKS support.  I have a Komplete Kontrol S61 Mk2 keyboard and I’m a new user of Superior Drummer 3.

For me, the best thing about NKS support for SD would be support for the colour-coded light guide on the keyboard.  So, unless and until Superior Drummer provides NKS support, I will consider using the Komplete Kontrol application to make my own light guide key map or maps for Superior Drummer.  However, the colour-coding possibilities using that method are more limited than with an NKS implementation.
