change
conventional
Added printing functionality to the MIDI Mapping Layout window.Bug Fixes
conventional
- When loading drum and mixer presets from the EZdrummer 3 core library or Big Stage EZX, the values of the mixer effect knobs were not set correctly.
- Loading cymbals or toms from the opposite side of the stereo field does not automatically flip their stereo positions as it does in EZdrummer 2. This issue may also occur when importing an EZdrummer 2 project or loading a user preset.
- On Windows, loading an autosave incorrectly treats it as a normal item and adds it to the Open Recent menu.
Song Track
- On Steinberg hosts, when host playback is started and the plug-in window is not open, MIDI on the song track does not always play at the beginning, depending on the playhead position and the last stopped position. Performing an Audio Mixdown also causes the song track to be muted until the last stopped position is reached.
- In a Steinberg host, if the SD3 playhead had been moved to an earlier position than the host playhead ("Follow Host" setting turned on), starting playback of a song track within a plug-in (while the host was still paused) would not work correctly.
- Exporting a track as audio with a sample rate other than 44100 Hz could cause a crash in some cases.
- On Windows, it is not possible to export audio to a folder whose path contains non-ASCII characters. If the file name (the selected prefix) contains such characters, the export will work correctly, but some extra empty files will be created.
- In some cases, the Time Signature Editor would contain the wrong Options menu – the menu for the Tempo Editor.
E-Drums/MIDI Input
- When using Add or Learn Comments/CC, new rows in the mapping list were sometimes not immediately visible.
- Editing the Hi-hat CC control does not enable/disable the Hi-hat calibration slider when needed.

CHANGES
General
A print function has been added to the MIDI Mapping Layout window.BUG FIXES
General
- Loading a Drums and Mixer Preset from the EZdrummer 3 core libraries or Big Stage EZX did not properly set the values of the mixer effect knobs.
- Loading cymbals or toms from the other side of the stereo field did not automatically flip their stereo position like EZdrummer 2 did. Importing EZdrummer 2 projects or loading user presets could also have this issue.
- On Windows, loading an auto-save would incorrectly treat it as a normal project and it would be added to the Open Recent menu.
Song Track
- In Steinberg hosts when host playback was started and the plug-in window had not yet been opened, MIDI on the song track would not always be played at the beginning, depending on the playhead position and where it had last been stopped. Performing an Audio Mixdown would also result in silence from the song track before the position was reached where playback had last been stopped.
- In Steinberg hosts, starting playback of the song track inside the plug-in (with the host still paused) would not work properly if the SD3 playhead had been moved to an earlier position than the host playhead (with the Follow Host setting on).
- Exporting the track as audio having a sample rate other than 44100 Hz could in some cases lead to a crash.
- On Windows, it did not work to export as audio to a folder whose path contained non-ASCII characters. If instead the filenames (the chosen prefix) contained such characters, the export would work but some extra empty files would be created.
- The time signature editor would in some cases contain the wrong Options menu – the one for the tempo editor.
E-Drums/MIDI In
- When Add or Learn Note/CC was used, the new line in the mapping list was sometimes not immediately visible.
- Editing the hi-hat CC control did not enable/disable the hi-hat calibration slider when needed.
