exported midi does not play the same hits as when in superior 3

[thedommer]

I like to start doing my track in Superior but then export to studio one so that I can have multiple tracks controlling the kit. Makes it easier to work through hihats and things as separate tracks merging parts from different loops. However, I cannot do this because the exported midi is not correct. It will do things like have the hihat open when the midid loop had it closed in superior.

Is this a bug or am I exporting it wrong from Superior. I was hoping I could just grab the loops and drag them to the Studio one track but it seems thats not possible so I have been exporting it as one big midi file (all the loops combined) and then dragging that into studio one. but when I do, it sounds a bit different. The most obvious being that the midi plays the hihat slightly open instead of the closed version that the midi plays within superior.
I am on superior 3.0.3 and Studio One 3.5.3.4

Do you have any MIDI IN/e-drum preset enabled? That could cause the MIDI to sound different when playing in SD3 vs. playing in Studio One

Hendrik. That was it! I use a Yamaha ekit. I am not sure the flow makes sense though. The purpose of the drum template is just for on the way in to trigger the right hits. Once in the box I am never triggering the edrums so I dont need it to continue that on midi out from superior. Is there a way of only having edrum midi corrected on input? Its not a huge deal, just curious.

The e-drum presets are only operating on the incoming MIDI. However, Superior Drummer 3 can’t know if the MIDI comes from the track of the DAW (Pro Tools for example), or from an E-kit, so we can’t only apply it on E-drums but not on MIDI from a DAW…
