hihat problems: Roland TD-27 triggers > Cakewalk > SD3

[watelessness]

hello.  I am having all kinds of problems with SD3 interpreting hihat signals.

1. i record a normal midi track in Cakewalk using Roland TD-27 triggers
2. playback through the TD-27 sounds exactly how i performed the track
3. i then export the midi track to a file, then drag it into SD3
4. the hihat sounds nothing like how i played it with respect to the articulation of the pedal
5. i tried moving the hihat line to other rows but nothing renders it correctly
6. what is even crazier is if i delete the hihat line, there are still open/close artifacts still occurring.  I can see them lighting up in the grid editor but i have no idea where they are

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks

Have you set SD3 up with the td27 preset? If not SD3 will it know the napping. I ask as you did t mention this. Also can you play SD3 in standalone from the td27? If yes then cakewalk is doing something wrong in translation

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

I had probbies with hats at first.

When you play in, your Roland hat (mine is the VH-11) can send data to SD3 that will trigger in a different way to how you played, and the sound in SD won’t match the VH-11 ‘live’. Change from velocity to CC in the line at the bottom of the UI and strip out all the data. Your hat line will remain in the midi track, but you will now be able to edit it to get it to sound how you want. If you don’t strip out, you can’t change all the midi and some levels and actions will remain, causing you a big headache.

I tried adjusting the settings in the Roland brain to get a perfect trigger but gave up eventually, as I don’t use SD3 as a trigger when I’m gigging, just for recording. And as I was editing the hi-hat part anyway, there was no real point.
