Hi-Hat calibration feature question.

[hector_18]

I like the hi-hat calibration feature (close/open/close/save)

However, it seems as though I have to do the calibration every time I load a new preset.

Even though my Roland VH-10 hat is calibrated correctly on my TD-17 module, it came up about 25% open (when closed) in SD3.

The SD3 calibration works just fine, but I lose it as soon as I open a new preset (unless it was previously saved after cal.)

Shouldn’t this be more of a hardware/midi calibration setting rather than something that changes with every new kit that is loaded?

First, make sure you are using the latest SD3 version – v 3.1.2.

The Hi-hat Calibration settings should be kept when you change presets. I tried to do this:

• Go into MIDI In/E-drums Settings
• Enabled preset Default
• Selected Hi-Hat & Snare CC
• Selected CC1 (in the left list), because I used my keyboards modulation, which uses CC1
• Selected Hi-Hat Pedal Control
• Pressed Start Calibration
• Moved my CC controller within a range (in my test Fully Opened was set to 0, and Closed Tight was set to 48)

I then closed the Settings page and changed Drums & Mixer Preset to Ludwig Classic Default (within the same library, Superior Drummer 3). This kept the hi-hat calibration.

Is this how you do it, but it doesn’t keep the calibration?

I’m not sure about that scenario.  It’s possible that the calibration stayed when changing just drums or mixers.

But I know when I opened a new “Project” I had to reset it again.

I know I mentioned “when changing preset” in my original message, but I may have meant ” when changing project”.

Ok, then it’s a bit different. The basic idea here is that these settings are stored in the project, so when you load an old project you sometimes want to restore the settings you had made for the MIDI mapping. But in your case, you want to use the current settings for an old project. Do like this:

• Set up the MIDI in as you like it
• Go to the main Menu and select Set Current to Default Project
  • Now, these settings will be used the next time you create a new project
• When you have opened the old project, go to the MIDI In preset selector, and select Load from Default Project. This will import the settings you saved in the Default project, including the hi-hat settings
