SD3 Edit Drum Midi in DAW Editor Causes Clicks Pops Scratchy Sound

[Gary Stephens]

When I drag a drum pattern to my DAW track, it plays fine. But when I open the midi in the DAW (Reaper) midi editor window suddenly every drum hit causes a scratchy click pop sound. I never had this issue with SD2. As soon as I close the DAW midi editor window the scratchy sound stops and the drums keep playing normally.

This only happens when I have SD3 set to use 2 cpu cores. If I set it back to using 1 cpu core then my DAW midi editor does not have this problem. Should SD3 always be set to use just 1 cpu core?

If I edit the drum pattern in the SD3 midi editor it plays fine with cpu cores set to 2, but frankly I much prefer editing midi in Reaper’s midi window.

Hi,

 

please set the CPU cores to 1, since you are using it in a DAW / Reaper.

Set CPU Cores back to 1, it works great now. Thanks!

Hi, I just came across this and facing the same issue. I have SD3 with Reaper, getting clicks and pops when using SD3 on a track.

The pops are within the SD3 FX window (not within Midi editor as noted above). The pops continue using 1, 2 or 4 cores. Any idea how I may be able to resolve this?

Thanks.
