Bug Fixes
General:
- Clicking "Authorize Offline" when authorizing SD3 caused a crash.
- It could crash at startup if the default project used a library which was located on a disconnected harddrive.
- Keyboard shortcuts other than space and escape are now blocked when a modal dialog is open.
- Fixed some graphical issues for sub-100% scales.
- Detaching the grid editor from the View menu no longer opens Edit Play Style.
- Selecting "Reattach All" when Edit Play Style is open no longer brings up the stack view and box view.
- Pressing escape key now tries to close the dialog in focus first. Only closes one dialog at a time as well.
- Selecting "Load Default Project" no longer keeps the old project name.
- The macro control area is now brought back when Tap2Find is closed, if it was previously visible.
- Improved MIDI mapping from Superior Drummer 2 presets.
- Removing all SD3 instances in a DAW and then adding a new instance could make SD3 use the wrong fonts.
- Fixed missing/wrong tooltip on the time signature buttons.
Drums Tab:
- Pitch FX undo was not always saved.
- No sounds were loaded when undoing disable bleed or lowering the layer limits.
- The envelope release indicator is no longer drawn if release is off.
- Removing a stack could cause a crash in some situations.
- Clicking on stack hits or having a stack selected and playing the whole drum did not show visual hit in the velocity editor.
- Substituted drum hits did not show visual hits in the stack view.
- Made the articulations list a bit wider to fit the future hit percussion names.
- Clicking multiple times on an articulation name in the mapping box could stop preview for that articulation.
Search for Instrument:
- Previewing instruments with no MIDI mapping caused a crash.
Grooves Tab:
- Added 'S2 User Presets' submenu (when needed) in the e-drum presets menu in the browser, so that such presets no longer appear in the Legacy submenu.
Tap2Find:
- Hi-hat open/closed buttons had wrong positions if the Song Creator was open.
Edit Play Style:
- Copying from and to a future hit instrument did not work well.
Grid Editor:
- A crash could occur if instruments had been added and removed.
- Unmapped notes were not shown as separate rows anymore.
- Improved the algorithm for determining if a row should be visible or not if hiding "unused" articulations/instruments.
- Turning on/off articulations now updates grid editor in case rows should be added/removed.
- Aftertouch events inserted at the very end of a MIDI block got removed.
- The default velocity for new future hit notes was wrong.
- Wrong articulation could be played when clicking on future hit percussion rows.
- Visual hits for future hit percussion in grid editor were off.
- The grid editor would not get any visual hits if in external window and Edit Play Style was closed.
- Clicking an instrument row that had no MIDI mapping caused a crash.

Song Track:
- Crash fix for showing triplets in 1/32 time signature.
- The aftertouch state is now reset when the song track is stopped.
- Aftertouch and CC states are now set correctly when song track playback is resumed.
- Snapping on song track and timebar did not work very well on other scales than 100%.
- Inserting a time signature change could move the signature changes placed after the insert.
- The browser path written in MIDI files was missing the first folder.
- If multiple kitpiece transforms existed and the MIDI in a block had to be reanalyzed (when editing MIDI in the grid editor, for example), all transforms were not cleared, which lead to strange results when undo/redoing.
Tracker:
- When exporting MIDI, the length of the exported file did not match the length of the audio track.
- Keyboard shortcut fixes in tempo map and time signature editors.
- Grid and timebars didn't always update correctly after undo.
- Nudge in Milliseconds mode moved by centiseconds instead.
- Removing a loaded track and then clicking on the empty last track could cause a crash.
- "Select All Events" did not select manually added transients.
Mixer:
- Fixed issue where SD3 could freeze when adding/removing sends.
- Removing all effects with the mixer menu or channel preset menu did not save undo for all the macros that belonged to the effects.
- Channel height is now updated when undoing adding/removing sends.
- Undoing adding a send now hides the shown bus channel if it was hidden before.
- Bleed can now be turned off in send window without the bad routing popup showing up.
