Mystery delay response using BT-1 trigger bar

[Snowdog2324]

I’m running SD3 with a TD-30 module and kit.  The kit includes a Roland BT-1 trigger bar.  Using any TD-30 module kits the BT-1 trigger sound responds instantly such as with a clap, cowbell, etc.  However when using SD3 and adding an instrument using the BT-1 trigger bar, the bar has a sizeable sound delay , likely 250ms or more.  It is the only trigger using SD3 sounds that has a delayed response.  I’m baffled how to remove this delay with the BT-1 response when using SD3.  I’m certain the BT-1 is behaving correctly based on using it with the TD-30.

Any ideas what is going on?  Feedback is welcome.

That’s strange as Ive used a bt1 with a td30 for a few years and not experienced this. I used it for cross stick. I haven’t used it for three weeks now as I got a td50x and digital snare.

Is there anything else in the path? What are you trying to trigger? SD3 doesn’t know what a bt1 is. It only responds to what it receives from the module.
