When you click on a kit piece in the SD3 drums screen the hit is with a constant velocity of 127. That’s why they’re loud as compared to playing with an e-kit. You need to check the velocity settings being output from the e-kit. I don’t quite understand your first question – are you using MIDI grooves in SD3 to trigger your e-kit drums?

Thank you for the reply. I will play around with the velocity settings on the output to the e-kit.

Sorry for the lack of clarity. I am not using midi grooves. Simply replacing the V71 samples with the more superior (pun intended) VST’s in SD3.

Truly appreciate the guidance.

1st step is to make sure you are getting 127 on what would be your hardest hits, or maybe even less than hardest. I tend to do it a little less as I want a full 127 on backbeats. Just don’t go too far otherwise you lose dynamics and ghost notes. Roland modules tend to be far more forgiving over trigger settings. SD3 is very dynamic and will play exactly was is input. What are you using as an audio interface? If you are using the v71 you can actually up the usb return volume (I think as you can on the td50x and other modules) also SD3 has a master fader you can turn up. The kits that come with SD3 do tend to be a bit quieter than the expansion SDXs

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
