Toontrack has updated Superior Drummer to v3.1.1.
Changes
General:

• Optimizations for graphics rendering.

Grooves Tab:

• The first browser column is now a bit wider since some library names got truncated.

Grid Editor:

• Zones where it is forbidden to add future hit notes are now shown when the Add Tool is active and the mouse is over future hit rows.
• Ctrl/cmd-deselecting notes with lasso now updates the graphics while dragging.
• Changed header in Select menu from "Selection" to "Select on Active Rows".
• Added "MIDI Editing – Preview Sounds" option to the grid editor, so you can turn off preview sounds while editing.
• Zooming while having Auto in Resolution menu will apply any changes done by Quantize/Swing/Randomize or Nudge controls.

Metronome Settings:

• Metronome output list shows the output channel names instead of numbers.

Macro Controls:

• Added undo for enable/disable macro control row.

Mixer:

• Added undo for rename and hide/show mixer channels.
• Right click on hidden channel now has "Show Channel" option.

Tracker:

• New location for the "Drag MIDI to song track" sign in the Tracker export view.

Bug Fixes
General:

• Clicking "Authorize Offline" when authorizing SD3 caused a crash.
• It could crash at startup if the default project used a library which was located on a disconnected harddrive.
• Keyboard shortcuts other than space and escape are now blocked when a modal dialog is open.
• Fixed some graphical issues for sub-100% scales.
• Detaching the grid editor from the View menu no longer opens Edit Play Style.
• Selecting "Reattach All" when Edit Play Style is open no longer brings up the stack view and box view.
• Pressing escape key now tries to close the dialog in focus first. Only closes one dialog at a time as well.
• Selecting "Load Default Project" no longer keeps the old project name.
• The macro control area is now brought back when Tap2Find is closed, if it was previously visible.
• Improved MIDI mapping from Superior Drummer 2 presets.
• Removing all SD3 instances in a DAW and then adding a new instance could make SD3 use the wrong fonts.
• Fixed missing/wrong tooltip on the time signature buttons.

Drums Tab:

• Pitch FX undo was not always saved.
• No sounds were loaded when undoing disable bleed or lowering the layer limits.
• The envelope release indicator is no longer drawn if release is off.
• Removing a stack could cause a crash in some situations.
• Clicking on stack hits or having a stack selected and playing the whole drum did not show visual hit in the velocity editor.
• Substituted drum hits did not show visual hits in the stack view.
• Made the articulations list a bit wider to fit the future hit percussion names.
• Clicking multiple times on an articulation name in the mapping box could stop preview for that articulation.

Search for Instrument:

• Previewing instruments with no MIDI mapping caused a crash.

Grooves Tab:

• Added 'S2 User Presets' submenu (when needed) in the e-drum presets menu in the browser, so that such presets no longer appear in the Legacy submenu.

Tap2Find:

• Hi-hat open/closed buttons had wrong positions if the Song Creator was open.

Edit Play Style:

• Copying from and to a future hit instrument did not work well.

Grid Editor:

• A crash could occur if instruments had been added and removed.
• Unmapped notes were not shown as separate rows anymore.
• Improved the algorithm for determining if a row should be visible or not if hiding "unused" articulations/instruments.
• Turning on/off articulations now updates grid editor in case rows should be added/removed.
• Aftertouch events inserted at the very end of a MIDI block got removed.
• The default velocity for new future hit notes was wrong.
• Wrong articulation could be played when clicking on future hit percussion rows.
• Visual hits for future hit percussion in grid editor were off.
• The grid editor would not get any visual hits if in external window and Edit Play Style was closed.
• Clicking an instrument row that had no MIDI mapping caused a crash.
• Unmapped instruments were not properly greyed out.

Song Track:

• Crash fix for showing triplets in 1/32 time signature.
• The aftertouch state is now reset when the song track is stopped.
• Aftertouch and CC states are now set correctly when song track playback is resumed.
• Snapping on song track and timebar did not work very well on other scales than 100%.
• Inserting a time signature change could move the signature changes placed after the insert.
• The browser path written in MIDI files was missing the first folder.
• If multiple kitpiece transforms existed and the MIDI in a block had to be reanalyzed (when editing MIDI in the grid editor, for example), all transforms were not cleared, which lead to strange results when undo/redoing.

Tracker:

• When exporting MIDI, the length of the exported file did not match the length of the audio track.
• Keyboard shortcut fixes in tempo map and time signature editors.
• Grid and timebars didn't always update correctly after undo.
• Nudge in Milliseconds mode moved by centiseconds instead.
• Removing a loaded track and then clicking on the empty last track could cause a crash.
• "Select All Events" did not select manually added transients.

Mixer:

• Fixed issue where SD3 could freeze when adding/removing sends.
• Removing all effects with the mixer menu or channel preset menu did not save undo for all the macros that belonged to the effects.
• Channel height is now updated when undoing adding/removing sends.
• Undoing adding a send now hides the shown bus channel if it was hidden before.
• Bleed can now be turned off in send window without the bad routing popup showing up.

I think what he means is that sales have been discontinued. Tech support hasn't been.

It said on the toontrack page that sales and development would be discontinued. I would think that kits developed for SD3 would be suitable for use in SD2 without the ambient mic samples. The jump from 2 to 3 was painful price-wise but 3 is killing!!

Big update this time - 2.2 GB, as it includes new samples.

Not taking any more of your money. That's a good thing. SD2 is solid - if they'd never come out with SD3 I'd still be happily chugging along with SD2 forever. Still using it in several projects. But SD3 gave me all the kit pieces I couldn't afford to add on, and that's how I justified the expense. I am, however, really enjoying the new drum-substitution feature called Tracker.
 
 

tracker, eh?
