Eliminated Double Triggering with Superior Drummer 3.0

[RcKDrUmm3R]

Hi, I made a DIY bass drum for my E-Drum Kit and I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to remove double/retriggering with Superior Drummer 3.0? I’ve adjusted all the settings in the module but I want to take it a step further, thanks!

Hi,

there is no way for SD3 to know which MIDI notes sent to it are intentional and which aren’t. Unless your double trigger notes are very soft notes and you can set the Velocity Response and Velocity Gate to sort of filter them out.
Your module should be able to filter out hits within a set time window, i.e. ‘Mask Time’ in milliseconds. I’d play with that, Sensitivity and Crosstalk to get clean MIDI sent to SD3.

Hi John this is a late response but unfortunately my module doesn’t have mask time. Can Toontrack add a similar feature to SD3? Like it gates out certain velocities within a specific time period? Would be an amazing feature to add!

Try dampening the drum head by putting foam behind it. The function you want is part of setting up triggers. Not really SD3

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

Also i see many drummers with technique of really loose foot especially ones who crave speed playing over feel.
Try developing a style where you plant your foot solid on the skin until you play the next hit. I have found it to be the most effective way
to eliminate the dreaded bounce ,Its not hard to do.
Btw what module are you using?
