Toontrack Superior Drummer 3.3.0 released

Post by Guy Rowland »

An hour ahead of EZ Drummer's release, Superior Drummer 3.3.0 is out. Not as major a release as EZD3, but a few significant new features:

VST3 support
New percussion instruments from EZD3 (shakers, maracas and tambourines)
New midi column with a visual representation of the groove

Here's the full list:
CHANGES

General

VST 3 plug-in format has been added.
Added support for EZdrummer 3 sound libraries.
The EZdrummer 2 Modern and Vintage libraries now appear in the library menu even if EZdrummer 2 is not authorized, and they are possible to authorize using a serial for EZdrummer 2 Core Library EZX.
Using the “online” method to authorize a multi-library EZX or SDX, such as Funkmasters EZX or The Rock Foundry SDX, now authorizes all parts at once instead of just the selected one. For newer libraries of that kind, the same applies to the “offline” authorization method.
Global solo/mute recall now has keyboard shortcuts Shift-S/M instead of Alt-S/M (which did not work in some hosts on Windows).

Percussion

New tambourine, shaker and one shot sounds have been added, the same that come with EZdrummer 3.

Song Track

When following host playback, if similar MIDI is detected coming from the host as is being played on the song track, the song track now stops, Follow Host becomes disabled and a small notification is shown.

Grid Editor

It is now possible to mute individual notes.

Grooves Tab

A new “MIDI” column has been added to give a rough visual overview of what the grooves contain.
In filter columns that contain several separated groups of tags, selecting a tag with a normal click no longer deselects tags in other groups in the column.
Mixer Tab

“Black Box” has been renamed to “Multi-FX” – they are most common in EZX presets and contain one or more hidden effects.

E-Drums

Many e-drum presets have been revised for improved consistency and/or accuracy.
New e-drum presets: 2box Speedlight Kit, ATV EXS Series, Medeli DD522, Millenium MPS-450, Millenium MPS-850, Millenium MPS-1000, Pearl e/MERGE.

BUG FIXES
Song Track

Dragging a fill into a smaller gap on the track now truncates the beginning of the fill, as intended, instead of the end.
If a tempo track had been imported from a MIDI file and two tempo nodes were located very close to each other, it could cause the playhead to jump away very far.

E-Drums

Hi-hat calibration could be lost when a different library was loaded.

Many bugs not listed here have been fixed.
