Low midi notes velocity when recording drums.

[Ang Patrick]

Hi, i m using a TD15kv with superior drummer 2 plugin. My DAW is logic 9 and audio interface saffire pro 24 DSP. My problem is when i record drums, its seem like the velocity is quite low even i hit the v drums pad hard. Is changing the pad sensitivity on the TD 15kv module the only way to make it have a higher velocity? Can anyone that use the same setup as me or similar give me some advice? Btw, my TD15kv module goes directly into my iMac via USB.

Hi,

if you do not wish to adjust the velocity curve/response in your module, you can always select all notes in Logic and raise them to taste. Alternatively, you edit the response curve in Superior 2. Please check chapter 3.6 ‘Velocity controls’ in the manual for details.

I have the same problem and I am now regretting my purchase. Im not getting the attack transients when I play my Roland drums. Is this a Roland issue?

Please check your Roland manual on how to adjust the sensitivity so that when you play your drum with a hard hit, it triggers the hardest velocity of EZD2 kit piece.

Also, make sure you’re using the Roland preset in EZD2 (Menu->E-drum->Manufacturer->Roland).
