Hopefully one day it will all be embedded in a v-drum/SD3 brain. It is a pain to reinstall of the SD3 files, but it has taught me better file management/backup in the process. Most recently, Decades SDX started clipping uncontrollably. I'll randomly run into problems like all of the cymbal pads get reassigned randomly. Some of the other SD3 users have good insight that pop up in the comments of their videos as well.Īlso, I am finding SD3 to be quite touchy in general, so I will do a complete wipe of my hard drive / fresh OSX install to fix. Both run by default with MIDI engaged, I simply had turned the v-drums sounds down or off with the mixer and that caused significant problems. I don't remember exactly off the top of my head, but a MIDI setting in the module that disables output of the v-drum sound in addition to the MIDI note transfer to Superior Drummer. The biggest improvement to my above problem came form something in one of Mike Luke's videos (youtube), which helped me quite a bit.

The one I have continued using is made by monster. A couple are crap, but unfortunately they all look the same. It plays nothing like the sweetwater sales video Īny ideas? I feel I have read up and sufficiently searched and still find myself quite stuck. I realize the pads will need MIDI mapping, as some are incorrectly assigned, but I'm not even in the right ballpark at this point. The problem seems to be somewhat common on the toontrack support forum, sans resolution Headphones connected to TD-50 Headphone Jack Roland TD-50 Preset selected in Superior Drummer 3, 'TD-50' recognized and selected for OUT IOS System Preference -> Sounds -> IN/OUT to 'TD-50' for both Connect USB directly from TD-50 to MacBook Pro port Paired via USB to the TD-50 via USB (A to B) adapter, as recommended via Roland.

I've got everything downloaded, installed and authorized.

I recently picked up SD3 and the NY Vol 1 expansion for Black Friday.
