Connecting multiple midi sources to SD3

[Luke Thurgood]

Hello. I am wondering if it is possible to connect multiple midi source to sd3 at once. I have Roland td17 kvx and want to add an alessis strike multipad. I would like to use this as an extra midi controller input to utilize the pads to trigger sd3 and utilize as much of the larger kits in expansion packs as possible. Will SD3 recognize separate midi sources? Are there pre sets for pads like the alessis or would i need to map everything individually?

Thanks.

Yes, I have both a DWe wireless receiver and an eDrumIn sending midi output via USB to my laptop. In SD3 go to Settings > Midi In/E-Drums > Select a midi device > Midi device and check both the TD17 and the Alesis multipad. Or if you run SD3 in a VST host set the midi inputs in the host.

So as above but if you want a large kit then you will have to change the midi notes one of them sends. SD3 has presets but only one will work. You can create your own midi preset based on the td17 and add note numbers for all the extra drums being triggered by the Alesis. You can’t have duplicate nite numbers even if they originate from different devices. I did that in the past with my ddrum4 and Alesis io. There are no custom patches for two modules playing one large kit.
