My brother is considering a purchase of Superior Drummer for use with his Roland electronic kit. He is currently using 2 TD20 modules and routing 12 pads from the direct outputs into a Presonus RM32ai mixer. He also has 4 mics, 2 for OH, 1 on the HH and 1 on the Ride cymbal. For the possible use of Superior Drummer, he would like to go from the MIDI outputs of each TD20 into the DAW (that also controls the RM32ai via UC Surface). We think we can map the MIDI outputs to create the 12 separate feeds for each of his pads to trigger the samples in Superior Drummer. Please let us know if there is anyone using this type of set up and if this sounds feasible.
If the above is possible, we would then want to output from Superior Drummer to UC Surface to get the sampled sounds into the RM32ai mix. Given that it appears Superior Drummer only has 16 stereo outputs from it’s virtual mixer we’re not sure if we can send 12 mono feeds from his individual pads back to UC Surface. I do not see that the Superior Drummer virtual mixer allows for stereo or mono options. Is this possible? Need to confirm that each of his pads can stand alone in our main mix.
If anyone can help us understand this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Paul
