The bonus pack from the Drumcore Upgrade - when?

[BERFAB]

if only submersible could fix DC3 and/or Kitcore 2 to work properly in Cubase 5. SHow stopper here.

Apparently that's only for some Cubase 5 users but not all which makes it a harder bug to fix because it has to be replicated. We're going to try it out on our Cubase 5 next week and see ourselves. But they'll get it sorted.

I've commented on this elsewhere, but I'll chime in again. I was among the first to discover this bug with Cubase 5 (oddly, no problem with C4 or SX3) which was a big disappointment to me as the Kit/Drumcore package is one of my favorites.

I have been running debug programs for Submersible and working with their programmers for some months now. As far as that goes, they have been very responsive, although we still don't have a complete resolution. For a brief period there it looked like they had isolated the problem to a specific line of code. But then they reported to me that the conflict was ultimately something within Cubase 5 that had to be addressed with them. Steinberg knows about the issue, but I'm not sure about the priority they're giving it.

And that is where we are. I have just this morning sent Submersible a tickler email just to see where we are now, as it's been some weeks since I've been updated. I'll continue to keep you updated as I learn it myself.

Nice to see Squids also spending some time on this issue. Naturally, Squids and Co. introduced me to this stuff at an astounding price, and up until C5, it was really my go-to rhythm inspiration. So, if you're looking for some great drums at an amazing price point, get it, but get it from Esoundz. They support this stuff like no one else, and have even developed their own packs to go with it.

Cheers

Thanks Berfab
Holding off on installing C5 or DC3 at the mo', I'll keep watching for updates.
All the best

The whole Kitcore & C5 issue is a real bummer for me too. I haven't been able to use Kitcore since I upgraded to C5.

I hope they get it fixed soon (would like to try the new kits!), but I am growing a bit weary....

[BERFAB]

I'm confident it WILL get resolved. After all, Cubase 5 is too big a platform to ignore. WHEN it will get resolved is another matter entirely, however.

[gmontano]

I am also confident it will get resolved. I am not one of those jump off the bridge people, but it is now July, it hasn't worked since release in march. That's just too long.

Regarding the original topic, I found the Tam Star drumkits in my download section, and they sound great.

I didn't get an email about it, but I'm assuming this is the promised DC3 Upgrade bonus.

Thanks, eSoundz.

Yup, it is.

I have had another 5 kits and this thread has also answered how to install them, as there were no instructions with the packs.

Looking at them on my Mac they look to be in DC3 format so it's just a matter of putting the folder in "Pending Imports" in DC and then opening the DC Toolkit to complete the import

Guys, there seems to be a problem with Submersible being able to reproduce this bug themselves. So, everyone that has Cubase 5 and is experiencing this problem please contact Submersible support and give them all of your details. If you live in they Bay area I wouldn't even be surprised if someone from Submersible would even be willing to come visit you! Haha. They really want to solve it but apparently aren't able to reproduce it. We haven't been able to here either btw. Although we haven't checked on many machines with C5. I will as soon as I can. This may very well be something Steinberg would need to fix and I will work hard to make this happen between whichever company needs to do what... we're just making sounds and selling the stuff in our store. But we're on YOUR side always and we'll do whatever we can to help!

Any info on the 1000 GrooveMonkee MIDI loops that are available when you buy an OmniDrummer kit? BTW, is OmniDrummer going to be released as an actual product at some point?

[dburns]

alogie,

My MIDI files appeared in my download area shortly (less than an hour) after the Drumpacks did. Have another look?

[alogie]

I haven't actually bought a kitpack yet. What I meant was, is there any description of what kind of stuff is included in the GrooveMonkee loops.

Any news on the bonus KitPack for DC 3.0 upgraders?

It is the Tam Star Classic kit.

It should have been quietly slipped in your order list and in your 'esoundz download' section at the bottom of your download page.

I just noticed it and downloading (over 800M ) right now !

[soulata]

hmm, running to esoundz as we speak ...

The "actual product" may or may not happen depending on a few things we're waiting on with Submersible. We do have a preliminary version that is basically just KitCore with an OmniDrummer logo on it (nothing different otherwise - it is even the same color... which we wanted to change but...). However, if we don't come out with it then we are going to expand it (may anyway) into a series of GM format drums for all sorts of things like KitCore (which it is available in now) as well as Battery, Session Drummer (Cakewalk) and maybe something for FL Studio, Logic's Ultra Beat etc. We're probably going to go that route since it is just as easy to tell you guys to get KitCore since it is so inexpensive... or DrumCore 3.0 for that matter and we sell both on www.esoundz.com

The 1,000 GrooveMonkee SMF are available, this coming week though we should have it formatted for import and instant use with KitCore or DrumCore.
