I enjoy using the grid editor in SD3 to program MIDI and drive TRIAZ. Have also experimented with exporting MIDI from TRIAZ to drive kits in SD3. Lots of ways to get it done.
Wave Alchemy Revolution/Drumvolution are so good

Will this also apply for AD2 ? Sorry for ignorant inquiries, typical for keyboardist struggling with percussion usage with MIDI Controller interface(s).
No worries, I'm ignorant about a whole host of musical topics.
I don't use AD2 so can't say for certain. Can you drag MIDI out from it? If so, you'll at least be able use the AD2 MIDI in your DAW to drive TRIAZ. It may require that you move MIDI data to different notes in the piano roll in order to trigger particular TRIAZ lanes. There are MIDI note reassignment plugins that could make this faster/easier but I haven't used any yet.

Many thanks. Will try this shortly.

I just checked out Triaz and bought it right away. What an awesome functionality! Brings back fun memories from playing around with Numerology and Geist, regarding creative randomization and groove. I have Drumvolution since before but I like the vibe of Triaz much more. I guess that SLOP parameter has something to do with the nice feel

...and 511 of Triaz's parameters are reported to the host! This means that you can swipe in automation curves to change anything while the sequencing is going on at full speed. How cool is that! You may want to work the pitch or resonance of just a few drums while keeping kick n hats steady, just to mention one thing that wouldn't be possible by slapping a filter on the channel/track after the drum plugin. I wish more sampler instrument designers would think this deeply about possible user scenarios.

Yes, Triaz is extremely good. The sound design possibilities are immense without even leaving the plugin. I personally don't mind the lack of pre-programmed beats, the sequencer is so very easy to use, and that's really the most fun part for me.

How is the Beat Lab Sample Pack? I see these are just Wav files. I prefer presets and a player for sounds but the actual pack looks interesting. I don't like that the library will disappear by the end of January. I wish they would incorporate this pack into one of their other player based products. I own Triaz.

I think the Beat Lab pack is worth having - a huge amount of great sounds. Based on what I've heard recently from Dan at WA, the native version of TRIAZ will be able to batch import, sort, and tag the Beat Lab samples so that use in TRIAZ will be easy - it should essentially be like using the TRIAZ factory samples.

Just want to say, I had FOMO for missing out on the bundle with Triaz, Bassynth, Revolution, and Drumvolution, having bought Triaz on its own – so I emailed WA and they basically hooked me up for the price difference of the bundle minus Triaz. Only played with Revolution so far but I love it. Been looking for toys like this for years, I think I'll be a lifelong Wave Alchemy fan!
I'm with you - they're a great company with ideal customer service, from what I've experienced and seen.
The instruments bundle was a sweet deal. Glad to hear WA hooked you up. BASSYNTH is killer!

Really tough for non -drummer /percussionist - always searching for top VI products.
Confusing now to lean to Drumvolution, then unclear if Triaz is adequate as first choice.
Now trying to sort Beat Lab while still quite ignorant.
Must hold for now and trust further trusted info will be posted. THX guys !

If you're trying to decide between Drumvolution and TRIAZ, go with TRIAZ. It's effectively a second-generation Drumvolution.
Beat Lab is fantastic but certainly not necessary if you pick up TRIAZ, unless like some of us you have an obsession for collecting every percussion sound you can reasonably get onto your SSDs...
Here's an alien drum goof using all Beat Lab samples for the percussion, with exception of a few claps:

Cool example, THX ! Pulse gets tossed in now with Beat Lab ..... with Triaz, ~ $142. due to GBP pricing.

ohhhhhh wow. Hard to pass on BeatLab at $59 if that's the case!
Thanks. I had TRIAZ already but went with the new Instruments Bundle (currently discounted to £159, then WA discounted it further for me due to owning TRIAZ and Complete Drums 2) and Beat Lab/Pulse. As the Instruments Bundle includes Drumvolution, WA adds a download link for the full Drumvolution sample collection (in WAV format) in your account after purchase. With the samples from TRIAZ, Drumvolution and Beat Lab that's a ton of very high-quality fuel for XO/Atlas 2 kit randomization at a very decent price.
