    The first thing to check is that the latest versions are used, of both Superior Drummer 3 (it should be 3.1.2), and that you have the latest version of the drivers for your Presonus Quantum interface/ASIO.

    Maybe someone can answer this before, but if not – I’ll check with one of the coders that will be back at the office tomorrow!

    I actually ran into this scenario too today while exploring SD3. If I set the buffer size inside SD3 to anything below 256 and click Apply, it automatically jumps to 444. All buffer sizes above 256, e.g. 512, 1024 remain as they are after clicking Apply. Have a newly installed Windows 10 system with an i7 8700K, 16GB ram and an Apollo Twin Thunderbolt.

    Maybe there is an issue with thunderbolt interfaces? Just a thought, because Presonus Quantum is thunderbolt too.

    Try this: Open the ASIO control panel from SD3, set buffer size to for example 32, close ASIO control panel, change from ASIO to any other device type so that a menu for buffer size appears, set the buffer size to 32 (and there is no need to press Apply or anything), switch back to ASIO device type, click OK. It should then always default to 32. This procedure won’t be necessary after next SD3 update (but we have no ETA for that).

    Yeah, I believe this works as it’s very responsive to inputs now. Thanks!

    I’m having the exact same problem with the Presonus Quantum 2 and SD3 standalone, however this fix isn’t working for me.  Any other ideas?
