anth_1I cannot save midi mapping in SD3 using “learn note”
As an example I want to change tom 3 to trigger a china , I can achieve this by using “learn note” but cannot save this information as a midi map preset to apply to other kits, as soon as I change kits this midi map is lost, when I restart SD3 there is no user preset for me to load.
In SD2 in mapping I could use “learn”, this mapping would remain as I scrolled through kits, even from SD2 to EZ2 and EZX, and I could also save the preset under PRESETS – MIDI – USER PRESETS so next time I used the program I would not have to go through whole learn process again.
I have even loaded SD2 presets while in SD3 and it loads the correct mapping and even keeps the correct mapping when scrolling through various kits.
I do not want to have to create presets in SD2 for use in SD3, its tedious and hard having to refer to cymbal position etc between 2 programs.
SURELY the ability to save in SD3, as you could in SD2, exists.
Please help

ChristofferI still have this problem with SD3 version 3.3.4.
Anyone found a workaround?
Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.3.4
Operating system: Windows 11
Sad to hear that. Could you tell us more about what is not working? Which drum and notes on what SDX/EZX and e-drums?

I don’t use it on e-drums. I use it to program drums on Cubase, but I like to edit the map so that I can use my custom articulation settings.
I’ve tried it on Death & Darkness and Area 33 SDXs (haven’t tried in default library yet).
And when I load the midi map I made, I doesn’t change any note. All stay the same.
I also tried saving as default the drum preset in which I made the midi preset, so that I can “load from default” in the mapping window, but doesn’t work either.
And I tried on 2 computers, one with windows 10 and the other one with windows 11, same results on both.

Could you upload that midimap/e-drum preset here, so I can have a look at it?

BearsterI’ve had the same experience recently because I’m using my td-30 module and not using the sd3 mapping. For every preset kit that I use, I’ve had to custom map the rims and cymbals.

I couldn’t upload the file (it said file type not allowed), so I uploaded it to my dropbox. Here’s the link:

That map did indeed not contain any re-mapped notes.
Could you give an example of what drums you try and map to what note?

I remapped almost everything:
For example:
On all toms I used left and right hand articulations instead of right hand and rim.
On all cymbals I used the Mute Tail articulation instead of Muted Hit.
And some more things on snare, ride and hat.
I’ve attached one of the presets with my modified mapping. But I can’t save it (or load any of the other custom mapping presets, including the stock ones).
ChristofferAh, I see. So what you do is that you re-map the drums in the “MIDI Mapping” box on the right side of the drums. Then you go to “MIDI In/E-drums Settings” and try and save the mapping as a preset?

Exactly.
And the way you asked that made me think I was doing something wrong. So I went to the “MIDI In/E-drums Settings” window, mapped some articulations selecting them in the right side of that window, saved that, and that works.
I don’t know why I thought it had to work the way I did it before, and didn’t try this sooner. But at least I’m glad it works!!!
Thanks!

BearsterI’m losing my mind over this.
Roland TD-30 midi into a FocusRight Scarlett USB into my laptop. I define my midi map by using the TD-30 preset and modifying slightly because I’m using a couple extra cymbals in aux 1 and 2 of the module. I save the midi preset under a different name.
Meanwhile I’ve got all my drumset presets customized and saved. I save everything in four places — the midi preset, the midi mapping to the right of the drumset, the drumset presets and the file. I’m using two libraries, the core sd3 and Fields of Rock SDX.
I turn everything off. I turn everything on.
Four of my cymbals lost their mapping — only the crashes. The HH, ride and all the drums are fine.
Get this: I only lost the mapping for the core SD3 library drumset presets. The Fields of Rock SDX preset remains mapped.
Any ideas so I don’t have to map four cymbals for every preset every gig?

BearsterI think I’ve got it.
I learned that the midi mapping associated with the drum set preset overrides the global midi mapping settings. How did I learn this gem? I read the manual.
I’m going to delete the drumset preset-specific midi mappings, which should allow the global midi mappings to work.
Fingers crossed.

Mark KingAh yes. I do t think I understood the initial question. For edruming don’t touch the mappings on the front page. Always make modifications on the edrum page.

csnow-70I am having the same issue. This was never a problem in SD2 when you could save a project. I am using Hitmaker and load the TD50x preset. I go through and remap my toms via the learn function. Everything plays fine and then I do a “Save As”. When I load that file, all my work is lost. This is definitely a bug. Are you guys going to fix this because all of us are having the same issue. I have been with Superior for over a decade and never had these headaches. Maybe stop releasing SDXs and fix your core code. I wont’ buy another SDX (and I have bought most of them) until this is fixed.

Hi csnow, have you checked that you’re doing all your editing and saving in “MIDI In/E-drums Settings”? Any other edits are kit specific and won’t transfer to your next kit/project.
