Hey, y’all!
It looks like my drum module or SD3 is recording two midi notes for most strokes that I play on my e-drum kit. I’ve attached a photo for reference. You’ll see that it looks like I’m playing flams all the time.
I’m completely open to the possibility that I’m an awful drummer who’s learned nothing in 15 years of playing, but apart from that, any theories as to why this is happening? My guess is stick bounce, especially given how close some of the offending notes are, but I’m not sure how to fix that. Mesh heads and rubber cymbals are bouncy!
I’m using an EFNOTE5 e-drum kit to trigger Superior Drummer 3 as a plugin in Logic Pro X on my 2021 16-inch MacBook Pro. EZX Indie Folk version 1.5.0 is making the noise.
To remedy the issue, I’ve tried quantizing all notes to cover up the duplicates, then randomizing all notes to bring back a human feel. Unfortunately, SD3 is so great that notes are saved even if covered up, so this accomplishes nothing; the duplicates just pop right back out upon randomization. I’ve even tried saving, quitting, and reloading my Logic project between quantization and randomization. Doesn’t make a difference; duplicate notes are still saved and ready for editing.
I’d love to find a way to stop the duplicate notes from being recorded in the first place or an edit function within SD3 to easily get rid of them by batch(es)—basically anything other than zooming in on the grid and manually removing duplicate notes one by one…by one…by one…
Looking forward to hearing your responses!
