Toontrack has announced that Superior Drummer 3.0.2 is now available to download using the Product Manager or from the 'My Products' area in your Toontrack account.
New:

• MIDI files can now be dragged to the result area in Grooves, provided that a single path is selected within the User MIDI folder.
• Tooltips have been added in the grid editor.

Fixed:

• Selecting certain sounds from certain libraries (in Search for Instrument, for example) would cause a crash.
• The Tap2Find player would crash when you changed presets that remapped the drums.
• It is no longer possible to MIDI learn the pitch wheel.
• Loading or saving Velocity Curve presets on a stack could cause a crash.
• Choosing "Select Parts" in the library preset menu could end up selecting the wrong preset.
• If 'undo' changed number of instruments and Edit Play Style was open, it would crash.
• A crash and a bug in text search has been fixed.
• A bug with copying notes in the grid editor has been fixed.
• Changing presets while having Song Creator open with a source loop would cause a graphical glitch.
• Right click in the time signature editor no longer deselects all other regions.
• A change of sample rate on the sound card should now get correctly handled by the standalone.
• The favorite setting (star on/off) in Grooves was not loaded properly from projects.
• Browser settings in Search for Instrument (visible columns, etc.) were not saved in projects.
• Bounce would never use processed pitch.
• Undoing stack manipulation with inactive stacks could cause a crash.
• Adding new mics or opening Search for Instrument while sounds were being loaded could cause a crash.
• It was not possible to add a groove from the song track to User MIDI if it was an altered version of something already found in the browser.
• The graphics of Electronic and Southern Soul EZXs have been adjusted.
• Dragging a custom song block (with no file path) to Song Creator made the "Source File" unplayable and undraggable and it also incorrectly had "Show in Browser" enabled.
• Dragging a User MIDI file from the browser could in some cases cause the file to be deleted from its source location.

Fixed in Tracker:

• The playhead position in the scrollbar was not updated while playing.
• Buffer and sample rate changes were not handled correctly.
• Files with the extension ".midi" can now be imported as tempo maps.
• The tempo map is now cleared when New Project is selected.
• The sample position did not get synced when a track was added while playing.
• Find Tempo did not always work with multiple time signature changes.
• Some precision could be lost on found hits when loading a project.
• When looping, the triggered MIDI and the original sound could become unsynced.
• Selecting New Project while having the Tracker tab open could cause a crash.

Thank you!

I noticed the update earlier today when I finally decided to install the surround sound part of the library.
But I can't get the update to install. It keeps looking in the temp folder for a subfolder other than the one in the installer creates so it never finds it.
Rebooted my PC and tried again but same thing.
 

Thanks Lars. SD3 went fine. But I have been seeing updates for EZ Keys for maybe a year although I have downloaded and installed a few times. Is there a way to clear the notification manually?

Thanks much for the notice and link. Downloading now.

Ha...I just received an email this morning telling me this was available...

Yeah I got an email letting me know I am eligible for crossgrade.

Having EZD2 and AD2, and pretty much just staying with the processed sound they give, what would be the advantage for me to get the upgrade to SD3?

What I like about EZD2 and AD2 is the ease of both manipulating midi beats and trying different sounds out.

SD3 has ALL of that, and a whole lot more...take a tour through it on YouTube

Above all...the sound is magnificent.  It's definitely a leap forward for Drum Samplers.
 
 

I haven't seen anything discussing comparisons with BFD3...which I think until SD3 was considered to be the best "sounding" sampler. Can anyone provide an opinion?

FXpansion and Toontrack have slightly different philosophies; other than that they're equally competent. Expect to spend a bit more time with SD3, as it's more like mixing real drums than just loading up some great-sounding samples out of the box. I am a Superior Drummer fan and longtime user (going back to Drumkit from Hell), but honestly, many will find BFD more to their liking and easier to use.
