Toontrack updates Superior Drummer 3 and EZdrummer

Toontrack has released updates for Superior Drummer 3 and EZdrummer.

Superior Drummer 3.3.2

General:

• A splash screen is shown at startup of the standalone (to earlier show that something is happening). In a DAW, the same image is shown in the plug-in window the first time it is opened in a session (while the normal interface is being prepared to be shown).

Song Track:

• In the tempo editor, it is now possible to multi-select nodes with cmd-click on Mac and ctrl-click on Windows as well as with shift-click.

Mixer Tab:

• Channels can now be moved and rearranged.
• It is now possible to mute or solo a range of channels without first selecting the channels: press the mouse on a mute or solo button and drag over the other channels.

E-Drums:

• Added EFNOTE presets.

EZdrummer 3.0.3

General:

• Added a MIDI Mapping Layout window which can be opened through the Help menu or from instrument right-click menus.
• It is now possible to save your own Drum Kit presets.
• Mixer-only presets in some older EZXs can now be loaded – a "Mixers" submenu has been added.
• A splash screen is shown at startup of the standalone (to earlier show that something is happening). In a DAW, the same image is shown in the plug-in window the first time it is opened in a session (while the normal interface is being prepared to be shown).
• The error dialog for when an audio file could not be read has been redesigned.

Song Track:

• "Add Groove" has been renamed to "Add Standard Groove.".
• A menu has been added to the right of the displayed time signature and tempo. The time signature and tempo editors can be opened from this menu.
• In the tempo editor, it is now possible to multi-select nodes with cmd-click on Mac and ctrl-click on Windows, as well as with shift-click.
• Duplicating a song track now uses a letter within parentheses instead of a number to distinguish the copy.
• The progress dialog for exporting audio has been redesigned.
• Audio export error messages have been improved.
• When exporting stems, the filenames now contain the mixer channel names instead of channel numbers.

Edit Play Style:

• The Options menu now contains the same Quantize submenu as the instrument right-click menus.

Drums Tab:

• Specific articulations can now be previewed in the instrument selection view.
• The Use Preset Stack menu has been modified to be easier to understand.

Grooves Tab:

• Web Shop MIDI libraries are now separated by headers, so you can easily see if a library is from an EZX, an SDX or a MIDI pack.

Grid Editor:

• It is now possible to mute or solo a range of instruments: press the mouse on a mute or solo button and drag over the other instruments.

Mixer Tab:

• The scrollbars are slightly thicker now.

Bandmate:

• When a generated Bandmate groove is selected (as opposed to a groove taken from the Grooves tab), "Generated Groove" is written in parentheses on the drum groove block.
• Moving audio or switching between All Notes and Tonal Notes now shows a progress indicator next to "Amount" while the MIDI is being generated.
• When the Velocity and Swing knobs are working, an animation is shown.

E-Drums/MIDI In:

• The "E-Drums" view has been renamed to "E-Drums/MIDI In.".
• Added support for Bank Select and Program Change.
• Added a setting for MIDI In Channel.
• Added an option to the instrument menu to automatically select the played instrument.
• Added an option to show notes and keys at the same time in the mapping view.
• Changing the hi-hat pedal range now shows a "tooltip" with the value.
• Editing the velocity curve now applies to all selected instruments.
• The velocity editor is now disabled when its power button is off.

Settings:

• "Restore MIDI Database" will now preserve user-added MIDI libraries and favorites (in libraries that are still available).

Standalone:

• The current project name (and on Mac the project file icon) is now shown in the title bar (unless no project has been saved or loaded).
• Launching the standalone on Windows on a display with a scale other than 100% is now faster because the window uses the correct size and scale at once.
