TD17KVX paired with Superior Drummer 3 – HiHat is bleeding the off-notes

[Kim Mossige]

Every time I try to do rhythm with my hihat foot (no stick, only foot), there is a bleed sound coming when I let go of the pedal.. As if I didn’t close the hihat properly, but I did.. This happens if I let go too early.

There wasn’t any setting for it on the Roland controller, and this isn’t a problem with Roland presets, only with Superior Drummer 3.. I use Decades SDX aswell as Metal Foundry SDX, and this issue is more prominent on some kit-presets than others, but the issue is always there.. So I’m sure there’s a setting there somwehere I can adjust?

 

TLDR: When I let go of my HiHat foot, the hihat doesnt stay closed, it opens again creating a weird superficial trail of sound

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.2.7
Operating system: Windows 11

You might check whether you’re triggering a hi-hat splash.  There is a splash sensitivity slider in the Midi In/E-Drums window on the Hi-Hat Pedal tab.

A splash is triggered based on the timing of a foot pedal close/open sequence, and the slider likely controls that timing.  You can also toggle splash off entirely in the same control tab.

Do you know how to save the setting? When I restart SD3 it goes up to 71% again.. Are these settings per kit, perhaps?

[Kim Mossige]

By the way, editing the slider does nothing, the splash is still there on 96& and 20%, there’s no difference

So SD3 will only interpret what the module sends. It is very likely that it is sending foot splash. I know my VH-12 does. What hi hat co es with your kit? Stomping up and down will cause a splash hit which will be sent to SD3. Have you looked in the notes and controller information recorded to see what is there?

You have to save your midi settings. In the place you loaded the td17 preset you can also save your own presets. So I have a td30 but have modified a lot so I save the modified td30 preset to another name like ‘td30 added toms Decades’

Ahaa this makes sense. I have the HiHat that came with my TD17KVX, I’m not sure what the model is called. I have upped the sensitivity on the hihat a bit, yes, but it does not have it’s own foot splash pad-setting.. So there’s no way to tune down the sensitivity, if that makes sense.

If you want to have both (fast stepping without ringing + pedal splashes:) On a Roland module you could use my ‘Fast Stepping + Transition Artifact’ FIX (LINK + video): it will suppress ringing on fast stepping and also maintain the option to be able to play hihat splashes 🙂
