Looking for input on best practice
I have a setup with Superior Drummer 3 and two Roland sets that are combined.
I have both a TD 15 and a TD 11 setup and I am about to completely revamp the setup and am looking for input on the best means to allow for swapping out of drums and cymbals with the least amount of reconfig.
Currently I have the TD 15 on Midi Channel 10 and the TD 11 on Midi Channel 11 to allow independence, and it has generally worked out for me.
My thoughts are to make the TD 15 the main drum head and the TD 11 additional cymbals to make it clean.
My main question is whether it is best to remap the midi on the drum head side to match the default drum and cymbal midi notes, or to retrain the drums on the superior drummer side to what is being sent out from the heads.
It seems to me that there are only two general notes send for most Roland pads, one for drum and another for rim. All of the velocity and positioning seem to be on preset other meta data that is not configurable. With this, it seems that reprogramming the midi notes to a default drum set would allow for the loading of a different set and it would already match up. I may be crazy, but doing this approach seems like it sometimes causes ghost notes on other drums or cymbals. Maybe it is not as simple as it seems.
It did also seem that perhaps there is a way to do all of the training on a set, then save that as a “system” setting in superior drummer, which would lead me to think that this might be a better approach to avoid the ghosting.
Anyone that has any input on this would be extremely helpful to me.
