1) An 'Idiot's Guide' type manual with cross references to the actual Yamaha manual. (I was going to do one when I owned a dtx12, but, sadly, never really had the time to do it.) 2) A rubber retrofit of the same Textured Silicon used on the XP pads, but BLACK in color, since hand and finger use would dirty the white pad too easily. 3 Sigma Audio proudly presents the 3SA Superior Drummer Collection. Breathe new life into your music with these mix ready drums. Each pack contains 20 presets optimized for Vintage, Modern, and Special FX tones. Available for Superior Drummer 3, the 3 Sigma Audio Superior Drummer Collection gives you world class drum mixes with a single. Toontrack Superior Drummer 3 SDX Core Basic Sound Library. Building on the legacy of its predecessor, Superior Drummer 3 was redesigned from the ground up to introduce a completely new and improved workflow, countless added features and an unequalled amount of raw sound material. With Superior Drummer 3, you are in total control. An obvious argument for wanting Superior Drummer 3 over EZDrummer 2 is that the breadth of sound libraries in SD3 is staggering. While EZDrummer 2 gives you a core library of around 3GB, Superior Drummer 3 offers 230GB of drum sounds and libraries. The larger package doesn’t just mean more libraries.
Our product installers will automatically copy the files into your 'User Libraries' folder for both EZdrummer and Superior. But here's a better method for installing MIDI into Superior 3 by Toontrack.

- Copy the folder(s) inside our “Other MIDI MappingsToontrack” folder
- Open the 'Grooves' tab in Superior 3
- Right click on 'User MIDI' (see image below)
- Select 'Open in Explorer' (or “Open in Finder” on a Mac)
- Paste our folder(s) into the “User MIDI” folder
- Right click on 'User MIDI' and select 'Sync File Changes'

Currently, the downside to this method is that Superior 3 displays folder contents differently depending on the location of the files. For years, we've been supporting their enhanced formatting techniques but it's a bit funky with this method. You'll see some extra characters because everything is shown 'as is' when stored in 'User MIDI'.
We're currently revising the folder structure and will make the new format available as a free update.
