Toontrack Superior Drummer 3 v3.3.3 CE Update / v3.3.1 CE WiN MacOSX

Building on the legacy of its predecessor, Superior Drummer 3 was redesigned from the ground up to introduce a completely new and improved workflow, countless added features and an unequalled amount of raw sound material. With Superior Drummer 3, you are in total control. Welcome to the future of drum production.

► A CREATIVE PLAYGROUND WHERE NO RULES APPLY
The idea with Superior Drummer 3 is to let you step into a virtual studio with the best possible raw material and mix options at your disposal to create drum sounds in an environment where only your imagination sets the limits. Combining the creative power of the sounds, the ambiences and the extensive set of features, Superior Drummer 3 is more than just a drum sampler – it’s a bottomless well of creativity. It bridges the gap between acoustic and electronic and lets you venture off into completely new sonic landscapes. This is the definitive tool for percussive sound design.

Release Notes



Release notes for Superior Drummer 3.3.3

General
Using more than one CPU core (in Settings > Performance) was a potential source of various random crashes and freezes. It should be safe now.
Loading a Drums and Mixer Preset from the EZdrummer 3 core libraries or Big Stage EZX did not properly set the values of the macro controls.
On Windows, loading an auto-save would incorrectly treat it as a normal project and it would be added to the Open Recent menu.

Song Track
In Steinberg hosts when host playback was started and the plug-in window had not yet been opened, MIDI on the song track would not always be played at the beginning, depending on the playhead position and where it had last been stopped. Performing an Audio Mixdown would also result in silence from the song track before the position was reached where playback had last been stopped.
In Steinberg hosts, starting playback of the song track inside the plug-in (with the host still paused) not would not work properly if the SD3 playhead had been moved to an earlier position than the host playhead (with the Follow Host setting on).

Mixer Tab
It did not work to change sliders and knobs in the mixer channels with the setting “Mouse wheel changes controls in scrollable areas” on.

Tracker Tab
Looping was not working in the tracker.

Standalone
It did not work to open a project file from Finder/Explorer.
