[Lustar]

Thanks for your feedback, I'm glad you enjoy the results!

the results are absolutely a cut above the stock 2Box sounds. fabulous!

Yup, load up the module with some high quality VST dsnds and the WOW factor kicks in, creating some serious respect for the 2Box drum module.

BFD3 is really impressive with a huge selection of very high quality drums and cymbals (3 zones on rides, crashes, splashes, Chinas!). Incredible studio like recording features. You can just click and export some excellent kits already preset, or tweak and change sounds to your hearts desire, almost endless. Overall my favorite single VST package.

Lustar really put in some time and effort resulting in improvements to SDSE when developing the BFD3 compatible version. There were lots of hurdles with that one. The good thing about those hurdles is the latest version of SDSE has some impressive features and improvements that are also incorporated for the other VST brand conversions. SDSE just gets better.

Congrats on the new sounds fishmonkey, and well done again Lustar!

yep, it's very clear that Lustar has put a hell of a lot of work into developing SDSE, and his attention to detail really shows. he provides great support too.

although i'd much prefer an OS X version, it's obvious that there would need to be a lot more people clamouring for it to justify the amount of work that would be involved. i'm running it using Windows 7 in a virtual machine, which has the big advantage of still being able to work in OS X while SDSE is doing its thing (as SDSE takes complete control over Windows).

i'm rendering my third full preset now, and here a couple of my favourite SDSE features so far: the 2Box editor extension (since i have an extra cymbal and a DIY percussion trigger), and the option to have two different snare rim sounds automatically layered according to velocity (this means i can play a cross-stick and a rim shot, which i have been really missing).

it's also inspiring/forcing me to learn the ins and outs of BFD3, which i've never taken the time to do before...

Just played around with this a bit since getting it last night...Wow! just awesome software. I picked up Steve Slate 4 Platinum and loaded up the Kick, Snare, Toms from the dream kit...all I have room for until I get the USB extender...but man the sounds are killer on the 2box.

The exporting is ingenious....nicely done.

Can't wait until I can load a whole bunch of kits onto the module and play around with it some more.

Will there ever be a mac version at all please?.

[Lustar]

Hi Russ, as much as I would like to please Mac users it's unlikely a Mac version will be made in the near future. The good news is that it is easy to install Windows in a virtual machine on your Mac if it has enough RAM. I'm sending you a message in case you want to try.

SDSE 2.2.5 is now available.

It can be installed directly on top of SDSE 2.0 or higher.

What's new:

• support for the DrumForge Kontakt library kick, snare and toms.
• fixed issue when exporting snares to .dsnd with two articulations on the rim zone - thanks to Bill for reporting the issue
• improved check for long samples (for BFD3) - thanks to Bill for reporting the issue
• fixed tom names for the Fairfax adpak, Hi was Lo and Lo was Hi - thanks to Jman for the tom heads up

Does it work with Wine?

[Lustar]

It won't work with Wine but it can run on Mac with Boot Camp (free), VirtualBox (free). Using a virtual machine has the advantage that you can keep working on your Mac while SDSE exports.

What's new:

• support for the Reggae EZX2
• support for the Fairfax Vol 2 AD2 adpak
• support for all Superior Drummer 2 stick types for all SDX cymbals (Brushes, Wire Brushes, Rods, Hands)
• fixed Tom rims for the Custom & Vintage SDX
