SD3 Trigger problem with Roland TD50-X mystery! can you help?

[willgoldstone]

So this is very strange, but for some reason my Cubase 11 Artist, Roland TD50-X and Superior Drummer 3 combo just stopped being able to load / trigger correctly.

In my one project where I use it to play along with drumless tracks on youtube, its just fine, that was just the TD50-X preset loaded and nothing tweaked (I use the Andy Sneap metal kit 1). This works just fine, I can re open it, triggers are all perfect and so that kind of rules out the hardware IMO.

In ANY other project now (and this wasn’t the case until today) the mapping loads incorrectly, or rather the mapping loads and seems the same but the triggers … trigger incorrectly – the hihat for example plays the hat, snare and cymbal when you press the pedal, and the toms (2 and 3) have Cymbals being triggered too. It’s so weird I can’t figure out what is different as I’ve never tweaked anything in that test project and when i save and load from SD3 to SD3 (the project as opposed to the preset) it doesn’t make a difference.

I made a video but unfortunately the computer audio didn’t record so just watch what happens and listen to what i describe and you’ll see the problem –

I was on 3.2.8 and tried upgrading to 3.3.0, no difference btw.

Any advice much appreciated, apologies for my voice I have covid right now :/

Hi, that is super strange. Could you upload that sd3-project here?
What happens if you just start Superior 3 blank, and then load the Roland TD50-X e-drum preset?

Hello, is there a solution now?

I also have problems with the TD50x preset! For me, the problem is especially with the VH140 and the digital PD140DS. The TD50x is connected to the computer via USB.

My system:  Win11, Roland TD50x and SD3.

The programs are all up to date.

 

Thanks.

well its over a year later, I had a child, she’s just passed her first birthday, and I still can’t get this thing to work. I haven’t played music much in the interim. But I did switch to Logic to see if that would make a difference, and I tried connecting with USB too in case it was a midi issue. Still utterly baffled.
