EZBass and Superior Drummer 3 updates

[John Maar]

EZBass updated to v1.1.1.

BUG FIXES

General

Loading and playing a project containing CC curves could cause EZbass to hang.

In some versions of Pro Tools 11 and 12, trying to insert the plug-in would result in AAE error -14018.

The detach buttons on the tabs were visible at startup until the mouse was moved.

Sound Engine

The sub-bass has been restored to the intended volume – it was 11 dB too low in version 1.1.0.

Slides could get unexpectedly canceled when using certain combinations of Lowest Playable Note and semitone/octave tuning.

Song Track

Removing a song track that is not the current one and entering the grid editor caused a crash.

Dropping files with multiple tempos/time signatures would only insert the first one.

Grid Editor

Muting notes in slides did not mute the slides.

 

SD3 updated to v3.2.6

Known issue

Dragging a velocity node selects and drags all nodes for the instrument. Workaround: Use the velocity slider to the left, or drag the node while holding Shift (or Ctrl on Windows or Cmd on Mac).

CHANGES

General

Added support for pinch zooming with trackpad on Mac – on the song track, in the grid editor and in the tracker.

Grid Editor

When a different song block is selected on the track, the note selection now changes to become all notes in the rows/instruments that are selected (like it worked in version 3.2.4).

If the grid editor is visible, selecting a song block will move the playhead to the beginning of the block and scroll the grid editor (like it worked in 3.2.4).

Grooves Tab

Third-party MIDI located in the Toontrack MIDI folder is yet again shown and formatted in the browser like Toontrack MIDI (reverts a change in 3.2.5).

BUG FIXES

General

In some versions of Pro Tools 11 and 12, trying to insert the plug-in would result in AAE error -14018.

The AU should no longer crash when added in REAPER with one track per bus.

Scrolling using trackpads and similar on Mac has been adjusted in many views so that it is as fast as in the OS (standard applications).

CC values were exported and played back with too large delta (in version 3.2.5 only). It’s now even lower than before so that hi-hat splashes sound better.

Song Track

Deleting a song track no longer causes a crash.

Dragging a MIDI block into a hole between two blocks on the song track did not shorten the dragged block to fit the hole.

Dropping files with multiple tempos/time signatures did not work properly.

“Select Containing Folder in Grooves” is no longer disabled for song blocks that are created by dragging from the Song Creator.

Grid Editor

Changing libraries with the CC editor being open in the grid editor would cause a crash.

Some notes that should not have been shown were visible at the end of a block and were silent.

With the pencil tool active, moving the mouse in the grid editor would show and move a horizontal line in the velocity editor instead of a vertical line.

Drums Tab

Removing an instrument could in some cases lead to a crash.

Changing a part of a stacked instrument was incorrectly handled in some cases and a message that the library was damaged could appear.

Loading a rack tom on the “Hightom” position in Gospel EZX did not use the graphics of the loaded rack tom.

Mixer Tab

Several crashes involving enabling, moving and adding effects have been fixed.

Changing libraries with an EQ window open would cause a crash.

Changing Q for a node in the EQ window using mouse wheel with “natural scroll direction” was inverted.

E-Drums

The ride and some other instrument mappings were broken in presets TD-20, TD-27, TD-30, TD-50 and DTX-PRO (in version 3.2.5 only).

Improved cymbal choke support in some Medeli presets.

Improved support for AUX triggers (Roland/Yamaha/Alesis).

Added Alesis Surge preset.

Added Yamaha DTX Series preset.

Some renaming of Yamaha presets to better represent their purpose.

Standalone

On Apple silicon Macs, the standalone would always start in Rosetta mode.
