Hi, how did you connect your SPD -SX to your computer?

SD3 will work with anything that sends midi. The sx pro should work. Have you tried any DAW software to record midi and see if you are actually receiving any from the pad? I can’t comment on pro tools as I don’t use it. The preset should be the same unless Roland have done a total remap of the note numbers on the pro. I doubt that very much 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

In addition to this get the free MIDI-OX utility and run it in standalone mode. It’s a utility that will show you what the SPD (or any MIDI device) is sending to your computer. This is the first thing I recommend to people with MIDI issues – see what the sender is actually sending and is it getting to the computer? The comparable utility for Mac users is snoize.

If the SPD is connected via USB make sure any power savings measures in Windows are turned off. By default the USB ports on a Winmachine are set to turn off after a certain amount of time. This will happen even on a desktop computer.

Actually the first thing I would try, if it hasn’t been done, is to try SD3 in standalone first.

I was going to ask that you had the Spd Pro driver installed on the computer.
