Any chance to support perfect drums in the future?

Thanks

[Lustar]

There's a chance if more people request it but the good news is that you can already export from it semi-manually by setting the mapping to Superior Drummer in Perfect Drums. It's possible to export this way from any drum VST even if it's not supported, it's described in the SDSE manual in "Exporting from unsupported VSTs" here. I'll send you a message with more details.

I have a problem exporting toms from addictive drums 2, snares and kicks work great, but toms give me a blank sound.
Am i doing something wrong?

[Lustar]

For addictive drums 2 the mapping is saved with the reaper project so it's important not to change it (and to avoid saving the project when closing reaper). I would close reaper and run the SDSE installer again to make sure the project wasn't modified, it should fix it. I'll send you the map file just in case. Please tell me if it didn't work.

Hi, getting an error "Couldn't read SD3 kit information" when trying to export a kit from The Metal Foundry. Any advice would be appreciated.
