You’re going to need not just two instances of SD3 but also two instrument tracks for the MIDI. One for the verse and one for the chorus. As well as either ram to hold both kits or bandwidth of the computer bus to handle the sample streaming.

Is this for live? I’m guessing it is as you simply use two instances in a DAW. There is no way way to have two kits loaded in one instance of sd3. You could load the extra drum kit pieces to one kit and and have different note numbers for the kits and have those triggered. A bit messy though.

SD3 with older sdx,s plus Rooms of Hansa and Death & Darkness. Cubase and wavelab current versions. Roland TD50x using all trigger inputs for triggering SD3 only. Windows 11 computer. Various keyboards and outboard gear as well as VST instruments. Acoustic drums: Yamaha 9000 natural wood and Pearl masters. Various snare drums. RME BabyFace Pro FS and Adam A7X monitors

Thanks for the replies. It isn’t for live. Working in a DAW. Thought I might have to have two instances, but thought I’d check with the community. You never know…

Since you’re in a DAW, why not use two track instances of SD3? Why complicate it using automation when it looks like you have the RAM and probably more available tracks than you’ll ever need?

Not every instance will be using Legacy or Rock or Decades (or some massive library like that). An instance with the main kit and something electronic or percussion is often good enough in my sessions.
