Trouble with getting certain pads louder than others in SD3 on Efnote 7x

[Voraxion]

Hello!

I just got superior drummer 3 yesterday and tried running it directly through my efnote 7x and figured out how to connect it. However, the only pad that I was able to hear clearly was the snare drum.

Everything else sounded pretty quiet even though they were typically hitting max velocities and I even tried adjusting the velocity curves, but I feel like it didn’t do much. I also tried adjusting the volume in the mixer in SD3, but it was hard to get that sounding good without compromising sound quality. The default sounds directly from the 7x module sound completely fine and are working as intended, it’s just once I run it through SD3, that’s when the levels get all out of whack.

I was running it directly from my module through a micro usb to usb c and I was wondering if that had any doing to the issue. My kit has a midi out and a quarter inch R/L mono output so I’m curious if those would work better. I have an 1825 c presonus interface so I’m curious if that would help too?

Any help with be greatly appreciated Thanks!

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.4.3
Operating system: Windows 11

Hi,

I am not familiar with the module in question but if you cannot modify the velocity curve being sent to SD3, you can always modify the EFNOTE 7 Preset in SD3 and save it as your own user Preset.
Open the MIDI In/E-drums Settings page, trigger a pad (e.g. a Rack Tom), click the Velocity Tab and draw your own curve. Once it feels natural, you can save this Custom Curve as a Preset in the Velocity Tab. Move on to another pad and do the same. Maybe the same Custom curve works for several pads. Once you have adjusted all pads’ curves to your liking, Save this modified EFNOTE 7 Preset as your own User Preset.

BR,
John
