When I set my devices , two of the eDrumin boxes are nont staying selected forcing me to have to re-check them everytime I open SD3. Is there a fix for this? that will be super annoying to have to set it each time.
Yes, the boxes are connected. The weird thing is, one of them stays checked but the other 2 do not. see the following:
I saved a project but same issue persisted
I had the eDrumin boxes connected together using a powered hub on 2 of them and the 3rd to the pc and that stayed connected. but due to issues, I decided to connect all 3 directly. but now I have this rather odd issue. Hope there is a way to fix. thanks!
Does the same one always stay connected or does that change? You’re on Windows right? Have you turned off all power savings measures? Even on desktops Windows has a nasty habit of having them on by default. Tried changing cables? I’ve lost connectivity to devices before without doing anything with cables – a simple plug/unplug usually cured the issue.

It’s always the same 2. It’s not that they are disconnecting. The issue is that the checkboxes for 2 of the devices are unchecked every time I load sd3. They don’t stay checked. If they were disconnecting, you would not even see them in the device list. This is definitely an issue with SD3 not holding the settings. I also submitted a support ticket for this.
Is this a new problem for you? Did write permissions on any of your drives change? Try this: unselect the first one and select one of the others and see if that sticks. The add another and another after that first trial. I just tried adding a bunch of MIDI devices by way of checkboxes in SD3 (4 more than my usual one) and the selections held after several quits and closes of SD3 in standalone mode. Keep in mind that I’m on a Mac but if it was SD3 I’d think that I’d have the same problem you’re dealing with.

Yes, I have the same issue with one of my Roland TD 30 modules. I have two of them and one of them gets unselected and I have to reselected every time I boot up superior drummer 3. Strange thing is, this only happens in the standalone and not in logic. In logic, both modules are selected. It’s not really a big deal. It’s just an inconvenience thing.
Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.4.2 Operating system: macOS Tahoe (26)
Same here. it’s enabled in Reaper without having to set it but not in stand alone. go figure! I tried the above with unchecking the first 1 etc. dn matter. It always defaults to the first one selected and the other 2 not. Obviously a defect. I will let support know someone else reported this too. maybe they will fix it. maybe not.

Which eDRUMin do you have? The 4, 8, 10, or 12? If it’s any except for the 4, have you tried linking the modules through each other using the HOST USB port?

I have one eDrumin 4 and 2 eDrumin 8 boxes. I originally had 2 connected to a powered usb hub through a host then the hub connected to the pc but was having tons of issues with sound cutting out etc. I Since connecting all 3 to separate usb ports, I have had no issues aside from this. According to Rob, you can only daisy chain two together before having to use a Hub.
Per support suggestion, I tried opening sd3 as admin and changing the setting then closing and opening again as admin – still does not stick. I guess this aint’ getting fixed.

After enabling the usage of those MIDI devices and shutting down Superior Drummer 3, please run the following command in Terminal/Command Prompt and send us the result:
Copy and paste this into the command prompt window, then press Enter.
reg query HKCU\SOFTWARE\Toontrack\Superior3\Host64 /s /v “MidiDevice*”
I sent them the results and this is what they said:
“We have been able to reproduce the issue and it is happening because your eDrumIn devices all have the same MIDI port name.
Are you able to change how your eDrumIn modules are broadcasting their MIDI port names? Maybe in their control software, if that exists?”
I will need to post on the eDrumin forum to ask about the above as I’m not sure if it’s possible to send different port names per box?

I should hope you can change the port name/number. Although considering that you can only daisy chain 2 boxes it might not be possible elsewise why the limit? Have you tried daisy chaining 2 boxes and going direct with the other box? I’m chasing something similar but on a Mac and daisy chaining firewire drives on my non-daw computer. The daisy chaining has stopped working.

When you assign a different color to each eDrumin box, it assigns a different name/port to each one so this allows the broadcast of the port to SD3 to be unique and makes it stick. The problem was that all 3 were using the same port so SD3 ignored the broadcast of the ‘dup’ ports, preventing them from being checked. Now it stays!
