Here I route all the kick drum channels to “Out 3/4”. You can now route the output of any channels you want to any of the channels you activated in the previous step. Now open Superior Drummer and go to the mixer. Step 2 – Setup routing in Superior Drummer Now the outputs have been activated and you’ll see new channels appear in the mixer. Select the outputs you want to activate (or all of them). Right-click on the VST instrument and choose Activate Outputs. This is really the key step and you can pretty much figure things out once you do this. I wanted to be able to route some Super Drummer tracks out to Cubase tracks where I could process them with my normal plugins rather than doing so with the Superior Drummer mixer. This is how I did it.

This configuration works, but based on what I had read – it seemed it I might only need the Instrument track? That is why I’m questioning my set up.It took me a while to figure this out so here’s a quick note for reference. Toontrack Superior Drummer 3 v3.2.3 STANDALONE, VSTi, VSTi3 圆4 NovemNovemby Leauger - Leave a Comment Superior Drummer 3 is more than just a drum sampler it’s a bottomless source of creativity. I can then record MIDI on either the Instrument track OR the MIDI track.

Toontrack’s Superior Drummer 3 is an enhanced drummer bringing you over 230GB of raw samples recorded with eleven separate room microphones to create an immersive surround sound configuration. The larger package doesn’t just mean more libraries. VST stands for Virtual Studio Technology and is the term used when referring to instrument or effect plug-ins within a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). While EZDrummer 2 gives you a core library of around 3GB, Superior Drummer 3 offers 230GB of drum sounds and libraries. I can now hear SD3 sounds on VST browser and from being triggered on the TD-20. An obvious argument for wanting Superior Drummer 3 over EZDrummer 2 is that the breadth of sound libraries in SD3 is staggering. To solve this issue, I then add a MIDI track and Select Superior drummer on the OUTPUT of that track. I can record MIDI notes – but there is no sound since the SD3 is not triggered. With this set up, I can hear sounds from SD3 by clicking the VST Browser screen ONLY - when I play the Vdrums, no sounds reach SD3 – thus I cannot hear anything. Note: If I go to the OUTPUT setting on the Instrument track – I have no option to select the SD3 – only my typical output tracks set up in the IO Setting of PT. In order to RECORD MIDI and have sounds triggered and played back via triggering from my TD-20, I need to have 1) an instrument track and 2) an SD#3 Multi-input VST INSERTED on that track.
SUPERIOR DRUMMER 3 VST SOFTWARE
Get started playing instantly with one of the the new e-drum presets, or customize the way the software responds to your playing with new, easy-to-use controls on the dedicated e-drum settings tab. Regardless, I’d like to outline my set up and experience to confirm if I’m missing something. Superior Drummer 3 was designed with you in mind, the demanding e-drummer. Or just looked at recording from the VST and not via Vdrums. I’ve read several posts and viewed several videos – and I’m wondering if the ones I’ve reviewed are just focused on listening to the audio, and not recording the MIDI. I am able to listen to/record, but it seems like I may not be setting this up optimally. I have had SD3 for a year, and just started working with MIDI.
