TD4-KSX2 + Choking in SD 2.3

[Rex Strother]

I’m loving my TD4 (I’m a rudimentary player) and SD sounds great – all the SDX kits.

But SD does not currently recognize the chokes on the hi-hat, ride or crash (I can hear ’em when I listen through just the TD4 brain, but not via MIDI into PT).

I don’t know a lot about MIDI – except that it all worked pretty darn well just opening it up in PT and playing! I just dialed the sensitivity up on the pads a touch and started playing and everything sounded great and just “worked”.

Is this a matter of the TD4 not sending a recognized MIDI note for the choke?

Is it a simple matter of telling my TD4 to send a different (the correct) note for the choke in each instance?

I don’t know if I have to tell the TD4 brain to do something different, or SD to do something different. Help? Can anyone explain it to me “like I’m a 5 year old” (I’m 45 years older than that, but not re: MIDI).

Hi,

if you have updated your Sound Library, you are using version 2.3.0 (this should be reported visibly in the plugin interface) and you’re selecting the ‘E-drums’ MIDI Preset on the Mapping page, you should be all set to go.
Unless your host filters AfterTouch messages, that is. Which host does this happen with? Is it Pro Tools? Filter may be ON by Default. If so, Disable it and you may also want to try to launch Superior 2 in Toontrack solo.

BR,
John
