Imagine having 25 of the world's best sounding drumkits at your deposal. From punchy tight rock kits, to fat and sizzly vintage kits, and just about everything in between, Steven Slate Drums 4.0 EX takes some of the most essential kits straight from the Platinum collection, and offers them to you at an extremely low price.At the heart of Steven Slate Drums 4.0 is the SSD Player, a state of the art Mac/PC (VST, RTAS, AU) Drum Sampler built from the ground up by the award winning development team behind our TRIGGER drum replacement processor. The SSD Player is extremely easy and intuitive to use. Loading kits, customizing kits, mixing kits, loading and auditioning MIDI grooves, customizing MIDI maps, and routing discretely to your workstation are all a breeze with the SSD Player. It even lets you load your own drum samples to mix in with the Slate drumkits.New in 4.0 are the DELUXE series kits, which were recorded with extreme precision, resulting in a remarkably natural playability. In SSD4 EX, you'll find Rock, Metal, Vintage, Indie, and Funk Deluxe drumkits.SSD4 EX also brings back the classic Slate 'Mix Ready' kits, but all reprogrammed for better sound, response, and realism. Included in these classic kits is the famous 'Old Zep' kit, a drumkit recorded in a stone castle that models the classic Led Zeppelin sound.SSD4 brings a brand new cymbal pack from Soultone Cymbals.
These custom Turkish cymbals are some of the best sounding in the world! Clipse albums. From the dark VINTAGE series to the bright and shimmery EXTREME series, these cymbals give the drumkits the ultimate brass accompaniment!SSD4 EX also has one new Dance genre kit designed by producer Griffin Boice.
SkiltripPresonicJoined: 14:13:20Messages: 584Location: New YorkOfflineI immediately noticed the lack of meters. I posted on Gearslutz about it, and Steven replied that it's entirely possible in a future update. I'm really hoping that happens sooner than later. Because it's a drag looking at faders that 'look' like they're doing nothing.I've had a couple hard crashes with Studio One so far. I'm hoping that it was situational (me toying around with SSD4) and that crap won't continue.I really dig it though.
I also hope they refine the interface over time though.This message was edited 1 time.

SkiltripPresonicJoined: 14:13:20Messages: 584Location: New YorkOfflineLast night I was experimenting some more with SSD4 and I didn't experience any crashes.So it's inconsistent for sure. It seems the more 'playing around' I do with the plugin, the more apt it is to cause a crash. Maybe in real world use, when there's less 'oh, what does this button do?'
Stuff, it will be more stable. One thing about Toontrack stuff is I've found it pretty bullet proof. Both Superior and EZdrummer are stable as hell. I love their UI and stability, but never loved their sounds (except for Metal Foundry with a little elbow grease).I'm hoping to do a video soon that's basically a tour of the SSD4 Player (and not really a showcase of the kits/sounds).
'Cause that's something I wanted to see before I bought it, but couldn't find it. So maybe it'll be of use to some folks.This message was edited 2 times.

SkiltripPresonicJoined: 14:13:20Messages: 584Location: New YorkOfflineLet me know if any is running SSD4 in S1 v2 on Mac without issue. I am still getting way too many crashes.Studio One, for me, still crashes now and then when I shut it down (I'm talking without any instance of SSD4 in it).But when I'm using SSD4, I've noticed crashes when. I remove the plugin from the session.

When I'm shutting down Studio One (though again, this has occurred without SSD4 as well, plenty of times).I can copy/paste in my lastest crash report if it will be helpful.MacBook Pro 15' - i7 2GHz Quad - 8GB RAM - 750GB - OSX 10.8.4 Logic Pro X Focusrite Scarlett 18i20. SkiltripPresonicJoined: 14:13:20Messages: 584Location: New YorkOfflineI'm still having crashes in Studio One with SSD4.0. I was just working in a session with Superior Drummer. Was working solidly for about 40 minutes. I ended up removing Superior, and loaded up SSD4.0.
I didn't get 3 minutes in before it forced closed Studio One. I did nothing but open and close the plugin window.
Extremely disappointing. I love the sounds, but I hate the player. I am actually thinking of selling SSD4.0. Because I still have SSD3.5, which works fine in Kontakt, and I have Superior Drummer. Can't express my disappointment enough about SSD4.0.
I've pretty much given up on it I guess until they update the player to a new version, then I'll try it again.This message was edited 1 time.

Ooohhh2PresonicJoined: 20:07:27Messages: 204Location: GermanyOfflineI'm sorry to hear you having those problems with SSD 4. I don't have any of them here, i run S1 64 bit with 8 GB RAM btw. Do you run S1 32 bit? Steven stated himself that it might have some problems with system with 4 or less GB RAM, because it's quite resource hungry.I sold my Addictive Drums after i picked up the SSD 4 crossgrade. I kinda regreted that just because of their top notch support, and AD's GUI is simply one of the best.
But at the end of the day the sound is the only thing which counts.And SSD 4 is slightly better, especially on the snares IMHO. And for the nice crossgrade price you get a complete set of kits for almost every need.The only huge bummer for me is just the lack of other format's map support. This should come with next update though.
Steven said 2-3 weeks ago, it should come a week later. But i haven't hear anything since.
But i think it's really already around the corner.You can already map it yourself, for instance if you use other MIDI formats, but it's a LOT work, and as soon you load another kit, the map is reseted, so you have to do it all over again. This also should be solved with next update which brings a new option 'set map to default'.A led meter in the mixer like AD would be handy though. As a matter of fact, i wished it has the GUI of AD which was just perfect for me.Oh well, you can't just have anything i guess.edit: i just sent a support ticket for my questions, because Steven Slate didn't answer my email yet. I'll let you know.This message was edited 1 time. Last update was at 20:21:26. SkiltripPresonicJoined: 14:13:20Messages: 584Location: New YorkOfflineThanks for the response. Yeah, I'm still in 32bit for now because I have a handful of plugins that are still stuck at 32bit.
I have no doubt that running in 64bit would increase stability, as the RAM ceiling increases dramatically. I have 8GB of RAM, so I have plenty of headroom, but only when I'm running 64bit.It's just frustrating, because Superior Drummer, which is honestly very RAM hungry itself is rock solid stable at 32bit. I loaded maybe 10 presets in a row earlier, each was about 1.6GB each. So loading and unloading of RAM and no problems. I can't help but think SSD4 Player's RAM management isn't so good.
The advantage to 64bit is it becomes a lot more forgiving to applications that aren't tidy with their RAM management, because there's much more to spare.This message was edited 1 time.

It is their first own player though, am i right?Which plugins are those which hinder you to switch over to 64 bit, may i ask?
Have you tried jbridge? It works for me with 90% of 32 bit plugins i have.there's no jbridge for the mac. For one, for me, sylenth1 is only 32 bit still so that holds me really from using 64 bit on the mac.otherwise everything else I use is 64 compatible nowanyway.i've been tempted to upgrade my 3.5 EX to 4.0.guess i will hold off for now.
