Superior Drummer 3 Choking Randomly with E drums.

[mxjrd]

Hey friends!

I’m running into kind of a weird problem with SD3. For starters, I’m using Studio One 5, a Yamaha DTX950k, and SD3. I’ve been attempting to record songs “live” while using my e-drum kit to produce a midi map. Now, up until this point, everything worked perfectly and even if I go into past songs that I’ve recorded, they all still function the way they did before. When I record new music, however, cymbals randomly choke themselves on playback. While playing with the monitors on, the cymbals sound live and have their normal diminishing effect where they die naturally over a period of a couple seconds. On playback though, the cymbals just choke themselves out in random spots.

I cannot for the life of me figure out what’s wrong. I’ve reinstalled from absolute scratch SD3 and Studio One 5. Checked all my cables and inputs and everything seems in order. I even remade the midi configuration just in case there was some type of weird bug. Has anyone run into something like this?

Hi,

I would check the track in Studio One 5 for Aftertouch CC data.

Do you have any other controllers connected to your Studio One 5 computer?

BR,

StudioOne implemented PolyPressure very short time ago. Maybe it is buggy!?

I just installed Studio one 5 last week, specifically to be able to do the cymbal chokes, and having the same problem. I even tried recording a passage in Superiors internal daw and dragging the midi into the instrument track on Studio one. Played back perfectly in SD3, cymbal chokes on each cymbal crash in S1v5. If I record something from scratch and don’t perform any chokes, everything is fine. But if there is one choke at the end of the song on any cymbal, it starts choking all of the cymbal hits, or most of them. It’s extremely frustrating and seems to be something going on in Studio One. I tried using ezdrummer with the same midi track, same problem. Studio one 5 shows no aftertouch information that I can see in the midi editor.

Sounds like studio one problem as it works fine in `Cubase

SD3 with older sdx,s plus Rooms of Hansa and Death & Darkness. Cubase and wavelab current versions. Roland TD50x using all trigger inputs for triggering SD3 only. Windows 11 computer. Various keyboards and outboard gear as well as VST instruments. Acoustic drums: Yamaha 9000 natural wood and Pearl masters. Various snare drums. RME BabyFace Pro FS and Adam A7X monitors

Try going into the Midi In/E-drums menu, select ‘Edit’ and then select ‘Single Choke Mode’. Does this solve the issue?

I actually just saw that in another thread last night and tried it today. No luck. I upgraded to Studio One 5 specifically to get the choke function working, which is a bummer.
