Superior Drummer 3: A Comprehensive Update with Bug Fixes and Enhancements

Toontrack, the renowned music software company, has recently released an update for their popular drumming plugin, Superior Drummer 3 (SD3). This new version, 3.3.3, brings numerous bug fixes and enhancements to improve overall performance and user experience.

One of the most significant changes is the ability to open project files from Finder or Explorer on both Mac and Windows platforms. Previously, users experienced issues when trying to load projects using this method.

Another notable improvement is the fix for the 'Mouse wheel changes controls in scrollable areas' setting in mixer channels. This issue has been resolved, allowing users to easily adjust sliders and knobs as intended.

Additionally, the update addresses a problem where starting playback of the song track inside the plug-in 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). This issue has been resolved, ensuring smooth playback.

Furthermore, Toontrack has fixed several issues related to Steinberg hosts. These include problems with MIDI playback on song tracks when host playback is started and the plug-in window has not yet been opened. The update also resolves issues with loading auto-saves and Drums and Mixer Presets from EZdrummer 3 core libraries or Big Stage EZX.

In terms of performance, the new version allows users to utilize more than one CPU core (in Settings > Performance) without experiencing random crashes and freezes.

Notably, this update requires version 3.3.3 for support of Superior Drummer 3 products released from Q3 2022 onwards. Users can download the latest version using the Product Manager or from their Toontrack account.

The update also includes several other fixes and enhancements, such as:

* A fix for the 'Dim Extra Notes' description issue

* Fixes for Īlesis Surge and Nitro preset issues affecting note numbers for hats, ride, and crash

* Resolves an issue on Mac where ctrl-clicking on an empty effect slot could cause a crash

* Fixes an issue in the Channel Aftertouch editor where new blocks would make other blocks smaller

* Corrects an issue with the EQ effect, particularly with low Q values and Peak mode

* Prevents removing an added instrument (except the most recently added one) from causing a crash

* Improves loading of SD2 user presets with X-drums

* Adds positional sensing to the snare in the DTX-PROX preset

* Limits the numerator in the time signature editor to 127 instead of 32

* Allows moving several time signatures at once in the time signature editor

* Provides native Apple silicon support for Mac AAX

Overall, this update promises to enhance the user experience and stability of Superior Drummer 3. With its numerous bug fixes and enhancements, it's an essential download for anyone using the software.
