It’s important that your files start at the beginning of the session so they will align with the song when you import them to Tracker. In order to get your drum sounds from your DAW into Tracker (which resides in your DAW as a tab in SD3), you must first export the files first, and then either re-import them with the Add button, or drag them into Tracker from your desktop. SD3’s Tracker is a killer feature that turns close-mic’d drum audio files into sample-accurate triggered MIDI. I’m gonna keep this short and simple, because if you’re searching for something like this, you’re probably frustrated and want answers fast.

To check out those kits, make sure you have downloaded Lunar Cities - free for all Sensory Percussion users.This is the first in our series of tutorials on the new Superior Drummer 3 from Toontrack. Kits 5 - 8 in the set are Lunar Cities kits with the logical SD3 MIDI mappings pasted over them. We did a version of this in the included template. You do this by right clicking on the kit manager: Pasting just the MIDI from Just Drums onto bubbleWave You can, of course, navigate to the set in the User Library panel and drag/drop the individual drums of any of these into a new kit: You can double click on a kit in the user library to reveal its individual drums, then you can drag those drums onto the channels of your current kitĪnd you can also paste the midi mappings over kits you have made in Sensory Percussion, this will allow you to intricately manipulate electronic sounds in Sensory Percussion, with the classic acoustic drum sounds of SD3 layered underneath. Hit variation parameters in SD3 The mixer in SD3 without any effects added. It also might be worth experimenting with the Hit Variation settings, as well as settings in the Mixer!: Parameters to explore in SD3Ĭheck out the Velocity Curves on each drum to alter the playing feel of SD3: The snare mapping has a crash hit on the rim, the rack mapping has a hi-hat, the floor tom has a ride cymbal, while the kick mapping has a bell. The third and final template kit is called “Cymbals on Rims” - It is modelled after the first template kit (Just Drums), but there are cymbal sounds mapped to the rims. A Rimshot on Drum 3 will trigger a cymbal crash, while other zones trigger stick-tip-on-bow/bell sounds. A rimshot on Drum 2 will trigger an open hi-hat in SD3, while playing on the head of the drum will trigger tight sounds. The kit called “Drums and Cymbals” has the same kick and snare mappings, but Sensory Drums 2 and 3 are no longer Rack and Floor Tom mappings, they are now Hi-Hat and Cymbal mappings. Some of the mappings from the Just Drums kit Rim tip/rim shoulder/stickshot/cross-stick/shell It is logically mapped to control only drum sounds in SD3: Sensory Percussion Drum Channel Now you’re ready to explore the template mappings! Just make sure SD3 is set to receive MIDI from Any Channel or Channel 1 - the kits in the template are setup to send MIDI over channel 1. Select the internal bus as the active MIDI output of Sensory Percussion Select the internal bus as the MIDI device for Superior Drummer 3

Once you have created an internal MIDI bus, select it as an Active MIDI output for Sensory Percussion in the Audio Settings Panel and a MIDI Device in SD3.

If you're on a Windows machine, download and install an application like MIDI Yoke and follow the instructions detailed on the site to set it up. You’ll only need one port to connect Sensory and SD3, but if you are planning on sending/receiving MIDI to/from more applications with Sensory Percussion in the future you may want to create a few more ports. In that new window click the “+” button to add ports.
