SD3 Sounds are different.

[Paul McAllister]

Hi there,

When I click on a drum in the tool, I hear a sample, but it sounds different when I play it on my Roland TD12. For instance, the bass drum I hear when I click on the tool sounds great, full and deep, but when I play in on my kit, it sounds thin and weak….

Is this a settings issue?

Thanks,

Paul

What is the maximum velocity sent by your trigger? The preview triggers velocity level 127. My guess is you’re not triggering that level.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for such a swift response. I set the trigger level on the TD12 to a level where it was hitting 127, but the sound wasn’t the same as the preview. It’s a stacked BD, and when I look at what articulations are being triggered, it doesn’t seem to be triggering the ‘Open’ articulation, which is the one that sounds when I click on the preview.

Thanks,

Paul

I think I’ve sussed it. The BD was stacked, but the preview only plays the original, non stacked sample, which kinda makes sense. If I mute all of the stacked, additional samples, the preview and what I get via the TD12 are identical.
