Can you trigger WAV samples in Superior Drummer?

[ohlarikd]

I am looking at some WAV files from an old Simmons SDS-5 kit. Can these be triggered somehow with my TD9/MIDI/Superior Drummer setup?
I haven't found any info on a way to do that...

THANKS!

I'm pretty sure you can't trigger them from within Superior Drummer directly. But you could record a MIDI drum performance through SD and then, in your DAW, take that MIDI data and use it to trigger other samples. You'd have to assign the MIDI data to your other WAV samples. That's different for every DAW, I imagine. I work in Logic 9 so I have a vague idea of how I'd do it, but I've not tried something like that before. I know when you use Logic's Drum Replacer/Doubler, it generates a MIDI track from a recorded audio file and then lets you choose which drum sample to assign it to.

A few things could be used.

Here's a way to do it in Logic (would probably work the same in many other DAWs)

Thanks guys! I an looking to trigger these live, and I do not have a DAW. All I have is a TD9, a MIDI cable, and Superior Drummer... I will have to look at those links tonight after work.

BFD3 has the capability of importing instrument/WAV samples for building instruments in BFD3.

DSPTrigger is SLICK!! I have to download that and mess with it. They should use that to also detect HOTSPOT hits and automatically lower them to a user determined level... hmm...

Glad you like it!

The developer is a good guy and deserves some attention.

For hotspots, I would just lower hits range velocities from 127 to about 100 in SD.

Download Reaper (it's free to try and fully functional) you can pay for it later. Run it on the same computer that you are running superior drummer. Load up superior drummer VST in Reaper and also load up ReaSaplomatic 5000 vst. RS5K will trigger any sound you want from what ever midi even you decide. Set your drum pad to have no triggered sound in SD and you won't get a drum sound at the same time you trigger a sample. Boom you're done. Jam away!

I actually did download Reaper... Now, not being familiar with this type of SW, I was completely overwhelmed and walked away with my head spinning. BUT - I will try again I admit I am not sure what all this functionality does in Reaper or what it's purpose is, so it's something I've always needed to get into. I didn't immediately see the SD VST in Reaper, so maybe I need to point to it somehow.

Agreed, Reaper can be a little overwhelming at first. It is a really good program and has excellent on line forum support. Chances are if it's stumped you, it has been solved on the reaper forum. My best guess as to why you aren't seeing the SD VST is that it's not linked in your path under preferences in reaper. Under preferenes in Reaper there is a plug-ins setting. Under this setting is a place to set your VST plug in paths

Thanks - I am sure that is the reason it is not showing up - will have to try later tonight. I think Reaper is worth investigating as it opens up many more options for sounds and enhancements. Time to raise the bar a bit here!
