What if you record the hit in SD3, how does it sound if you play the recorded block and what velocity does the note have (in the Grid Editor)?

It is recorded as 126 and is played as supposed to afterwards.

It seems doesn’t work properly only in realtime.

Is the sound library fully loaded when you hit the pad or are you using cache mode? Is it always the same kind of weak sound if you hit the pad repeatedly?

Very strange that you get a different result hitting the e-drums as when playing the same MIDI from a Logic track, because both are just the same to SD3 – incoming MIDI. Is the same e-drum preset active in SD3 when you play the Logic track?

Yes. The preset is fully loaded and the preset is the same. It can be reproduced in both Logic Pro and standalone application. It can be reproduced with any kit from the core library

It is very strange indeed, that’s why I’m referring to this issue as a bug.

Do you get exactly the same data in the MIDI analyzer window in SD3 when you hit the snare pad as when you play the snare MIDI from the Logic track?

What sound output device are you using? Have you tried with the normal Mac speakers?

Yes. Analyser shows strong hit around 127. If I record this hit in Logic or directly in SD3 it is played correctly afterwards. Problem is reproduced only in realtime play.

Actually I’m using Tascam Model 12 as an output. Just tried MacBook Pro Speakers and it works fine. Any clues what’s can be wrong with the external audio interface?

OK, seems the problem was that SD3 takes full control over the digital mixer when playing in realtime and completely ignores system settings. I switched output to the different channels and routed SD3 to different inputs on the mixer (not the same as system sounds). Now it works fine.

Thank you for your help.
