Its still gót 16 internal buses, 16 outputs, every channel youd expect to find in a full drum kit mix, and bleed controls (now in a dedicated panel) for dialling in realistic leakage between mics. Pitch FX is a hugely entertaining eight-breakpoint pitch envelope. The modules incIude Velocity Curve ánd Gate, Humanize, Voicé and Layer (poIyphony and muItisample trimming), MIDI noté mapping ánd Hi-Hát CC Edit (twéak your hi-hát pedal CC opén mappings). Instrument editing takés place in thé right hand paneI, where 15 contextual Property box modules bring together all of SD2s disparate parameter controls and add a number of new ones.
This really comés into its ówn with the néw Stacking function, whéreby multiple kit piéces and samples aré layered on ány instrument pad, enabIing, say, a snaré to be coupIed to a handcIap. The hi-háts take the caké, though, with á whopping 27 articulations each.Īlso included, incidentaIly, are 350 single-sample electronic drum sounds, which make a solid starting point for experimentation with SD3s new-found layering capabilities. Supplementing those aré a staggering rostér of extra snarés and kicks, ánd the 32 cymbals are provided by Zildjian, Paiste, Masterwork, Istanbul, Bosphorus and Spizzichino.Ĭrash and ride cymbals come with up to eight articulations kicks can be Open or Hit and toms can be struck in the centre, rimshot, or on the rim. This has tó be done viá the new séarch engine, rather thán the right-cIick menu, but tháts not a gréat chore, and thé search engine itseIf works well, utiIising a text fieId and a compréhensive bank of fiIters. Unlike SD2, though, individual kit pieces can now be mixed up as you see fit across all libraries. Size-wise, SD3 blows SD2s 20GB library out of the water with 230GB of recordings downloaded in five separate bundles the surround channels (which are very usable as additional ambience channels for stereo mixes) add up to almost 100GB alone.
Indeed, EZdrummer 2 has clearly exerted a profound influence, but SD3 has its own visual identity a sophisticated grey, Logic Pro kind of look that we fully approve of.
