I am thinking more about drum machines and synths which usually have atleast one stored “song” which covers audibly what their product does. I realize the Groove tab has plenty of short bars of playing.

Hi all,

I just purchased SD3 and am having a similar problem.  I am running the most recent version of Mac OS — Monterey.  I cannot even see the TD-15 in the MIDI Device dialogue box.  I know that the driver for the TD-15 is discontinued by Roland, but I thought that SD3 would help.  Any suggestions?

Roland doesn’t “discontinue” drivers. They just don’t keep releasing newer ones for newer operating systems. Here’s a link to the last one for the TD-15:

Not if you are sensitive to lag.  All apple computers will be ARM moving forward.  I recommend not giving this company a dime until they make SD3 M1 native.

surprised it’s not native

Actually what I first noticed after launching it for the first time was the the entire “room” seems to have gotten larger. The kit looks a bit smaller overall but I like all the extras I can now see, like that candy bar wrapper on the floor. Totally missed that in the older version.

Thanks! I’ll be more than happy to test it out(demo)!

[adiaz7531]

Thanks! How about in Vienna Ensemble Pro ported over to PT HD 10.3.10?

I’m running OS 10.9.5(Mavericks)

It may actually be the fact that SD3 is 64-bit and PT 10 is 32-bit, I am not sure if the temp file is created elsewhere when you drag from SD3 to PT 10 instead of to the Desktop, so I’ll check this with my colleagues.

Thanks John!

But I am curious as to why you mention your module? Are you both E-drumming and dragging MIDI from the Groove Browser?
Do you have a TD-15 MIDI Preset enabled in the MIDI IN/E-drums settings?

BTW, which version number is displayed in the SD3 plugin window (lower left corner)?

BR,
John  

Hey John

I went ahead and tried opening a new PT session along with a new instance of VEPro 6 Server with SD3.1.2. When checking the E-Drum Settings in SD3, I saw that my V-Drum module TD-15 was selected as a preset so I turned that off. Afterwards I did the drag/drop to the desktop then into the Pro Tools Instrument channel. Flawless performance. I then turned the TD-15 preset back on and level changes on certain cymbals like the hi-hat changed until I turned off the “preset” once again.

So that solves that. I still don’t know why I can’t drag/drop directly into the PT Instrument edit screen, bypassing the desktop completely. I know this is possible with other VIs via VEPro and Pro Tools.

Thanks again for your assistance!

Hi,
you’re not running both the Pro Tools Track and the internal SD3 Track at the same time, are you?
Do you have any Real-Time Properties Enabled on the Pro Tools Instrument Track?

BR,
John  

I think aftertouch may be selected(cymbal choke on v-drum’s crash). Should I turn off V-Drum module?(TD-15)?

As for running PT and SD3 at the same time, I’m using SD3 inside Vienna Ensemble Pro 6 on the same Mac I’m running Pro Tools HD 10. I’ve got the VEPro 6 Server plugin open on an Instrument track in Pro Tools. Both audio and midi are received via the Instrument track this way.

@John said:
I suspect that it’s a limitation between VEPro and Pro Tools, that’s why I asked if you can drag anything from any, i.e. not SD3, plug-in from VEPro to a Pro Tools Track.
Can you confirm with other VEPro / Pro Tools users?
The workaround would be dragging to e.g. Desktop first then from there to your Pro Tools Track.

BR,
John  

I just tried drag/dropping to the desktop first and then drag/dropping that file into the Pro Tools Instrument track containing the VEPro 6 Server plugin. The file plays but is different then the same file in Superior Drummer 3’s Groove menu. By this I mean individual instrument levels(eg. hi-hats) were louder then the original. Tempo seems more “robotic” too.

Is there a setting selection to remedy this? I would think the file would play/sound identical in either Pro Tools or SD3. Thanks!!

Hi,

can you drag any (MIDI file or other )file from a plugin in VEPro to a Pro Tools Instrument Track?
You can still drag to the Desktop, right?

BR,
John  

Hey John!

No, I can’t drag/drop from the plug-in to the instrument track in Pro Tools. I can though to the desktop.

[adiaz7531]

Working like a champ! Thanks again!!

Problem located and fixed. It was DNS-related, so if it doesn’t work for you yet, it shouldn’t take more than an hour for it to start working.

Thanks! I won’t be able to try it until tomorrow but hopefully that did it.

I tried launching PM and it did open. There were no error messages. Still no go with “Show Web Shop Midi”.
