Superior Drummer 3.03 out

Get it from Product Manager
 
Superior Drummer 3.0.3 is now available to download using the Product Manager or from the 'My Products' area in your Toontrack account. Please note that version 3.0.3 is required for the support of Superior Drummer 3 products released from this point forward (Q4 2017).
New:

- The "Add Instrument" menu now also contains user instruments.

- MIDI Mapping Keys visibility is now saved in Properties View presets.

- The mixer can now autoscroll when effects or sends are dragged.
- The Grooves browser can now autoscroll when files are dragged to User MIDI.
- A new e-drum hi-hat pedal preset which closes at 90 has been added - good for some Roland modules.
- The velocity curve editor now shows incoming MIDI notes and how they are affected.
Changes:
- E-drum settings are now saved in projects, but menu options have been added to load the default settings (from the default project, or global e-drum settings in 3.0.2 or earlier).
- Moving the playhead in the DAW without playing now moves the song track playhead if Follow Host is on.
- MIDI file division on external drags is now 9600 instead of 960.
- An "all bleed" bounce through the mixer no longer adds bleed to silent room mics.
- Tooltip improvements.
- Many undo events have got better names.
- Tight and closed settings in e-drums are now better kept when you switch between different number of opennesses (by loading a different hi-hat).
- Whenever another instance locks us out from accessing the database, a dialog that says "Waiting for another instance of Superior 3 to finish" is shown.
- Dragging out a single song block from the song track now gives it the name of the block type.

- Track zoom level is now saved in projects.
- "Search with Tags" can now be used on MIDI files that don't exist in the database.

- An outline is now shown for the send box that is being dragged.
- Multiple selected user-added mixer channels can now be removed at once with "Remove Channels" in their menus.
- In percussion pads, remapping of other articulations than the first is no longer allowed.
- "Superior Drummer 3 Percussion" and "Superior Drummer 3 Electronic Sounds" can no longer be added in Settings > Libraries.
- Tracker: When adding hits, snap to transients snaps to all transients over the default velocity threshold instead of using the current value.
- Tracker: Preview of transient now starts earlier and captures more of the note.
- Tracker: Pressing the stop button in the Tracker now moves the playhead in the same way as in the song track in the other tabs.
- A custom loop area can now be set even when 'Always loop selected' is on.
- When recording notes (on the song track or Tap2Find) and clicking an unmapped articulation, the next MIDI-mapped articulation will be recorded instead.
- Resetting a peak level in the mixer no longer selects the channel.
Fixes:

- Adding an offset in Tracker could retrigger detriggered transients.
- Macro knobs with box properties are now saved and restored properly and continue to work after targeted drums have been changed.
- Bounce now honors automation of mixer and its effects through MIDI CC-control, when present in the song track. (But parameter automation by the host cannot be recorded by the song track so that doesn't work when bouncing.)
- Song track play start now resets sampler state for the benefit of cache mode.
- Using a 1/32 time signature should no longer cause the grid editor to crash.

    As someone who was a professional programmer in the past it makes me a bit nervous to see all of these changes/fixes in one update. Multiple changes have a way of breaking things unexpectedly. I’ll have to wait a long while to see how this release fares over time. I’m hoping all is well and no bugs were created inadvertently.
