Ok folks. After some more poking around with Superior Drummer 2.0, I have
unearthed a bunch of new features that are completely accessible via menus.
 
1. All kits and mixer presets are in sub menus. If you install an expansion
pack with multiple kits in it, you can see them all in a "Drum Kits"
submenu. You can also get at all mixer presets and save your own. There are
like 20 or so presets, which also have there own separate bleed presets.
 
2. Keymaps. In another submenu, you can select from the different keymaps
installed on the system. There is an extended gm map, and a "Superior" map,
which I'm assuming is much like the DFH map, which had left and right-hand
grip.
 
In another submenu, you can change the level of layers that are streamed
from disk. if you are using a slower machine, you can determine how many
velocity layers are accessed to improve performance.
 
 
I was speaking with Damon Fibraio today. He just ordered his copy of
Superior Drummer as well. We are both committed to trying to provide as much
help to anyone who wants to go this route. With a little bit of Hot Spot
clicker support, we feel that we can make this thing fully accessible.
Eventually, I want to make available an accessibility pack for Superior
Drummer, which includes a Sonar Template, a hotspot file, and an audio
tutorial. This would get everyone on the same page so we all can start
making music, and subsequently allow us to increase our revenue as project
studios to provide high quality drum tracks for artists, demos, etc. The
great thing is, if you didn't have the money for Superior Drummer, you could
scale down and buy EZ Drummer, which is the identical engine. This thing is
scalable and expandable. Watch this space for more info, and possibly a
short demo of what I'm able to do. Our only obstacle at this point is the
installer, which could be potentially made accessible with hotspot. I have
no idea how that infrastructure works, so am currently beginning my research
so I can learn it's ways and start collaborating with people to make this
work. In short, I'm officially making the statement that Superior Drummer,
or any of the toontrack products that use the EZ drummer engine are the
easiest and most accessible drum library in the 1 to 300 dollar range. If
anyone is interested, and has 800 bucks, we could test the Oceanway Drums.
Also, there's one called Slate drums, I think. But for now, Toontrack is the
way to go. Your thoughts?
