Using a Roland TD 3 to Superior Drummer 3

[Victor Ruiz]

Hello,

I haven’t used Superior Drummer in years. Honestly, I bought SD3 when it came out and have not really used it. Now that I have time to fuss with the software, I’m having trouble connecting it to my computer.

I’m using a MIDIMATE II to connect from the TD3 to my computer. It appears twice in MIDI Device as MIDIMATE II and MIDIIN2 (MIDIMATE II).

In Audio Device I have the following:

Device Type: ASIO
ASIO Device: ASIO4ALL v2
ASIO control: ASIO

Out Channels settings, I’ve tried both HD Output 1 and 2 as well as RODECaster Pro Stereo 1 – (3) and 2 – (4)

MIDI Channel is set to Any

Within ASIO the WDM Device List includes:

Realtek(R) Audio
iPhone A2DP SNK
MSI Sound Tune
RODECaster Pro Stereo
SteelSeries Sonar Virtual Audio Device
NVIDIA High Definition Audio
Logitech StreamCam
Nahimic mirroring device
Logitech StreamCam
iPhone Hands-Free HF Audio
E7 Hands-Free
E7

This computer has an i9 processor. I have found incompatibilities with certain Line6 products. Not sure if that’s the issue here as well?

Can anyone help me with the settings so that I can use SD3?

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.3.6
Operating system: Windows 11

The onboard audio is the Realtek audio. As far as midi just tick them all in sd3 settings. I would really recommend getting an audio interface with low latency asio drivers. Asio4all works but that and Realtek audio are not great.

Ok, so after going on YouTube I figured out that I could just use a preset for the TD3. But now, I can’t hear what I’m playing. I’d like to be able to use my RODECaster Pro as the output so that I can either hear my playing through studio speakers or headphones. Any suggestions?

The RODECaster display actually shows that it is receiving sound from a USB device every time I hit a pad. But I can’t hear anything.

you need to work out asio4all. Choose that in sd3 and then setup the RODECaster in asio4all. I can’t help you with that. I take it the RC doesn’t have its own asio driver?

All worked out, yes, you’re correct, they do have their own ASIO drivers. Completely forgot till you mentioned it. All good now.

Glad you got it going
