Thanks for your detailed reply. There are no ADAT ports available on my interface and I had to research what they actually were. The 10 channels was arrived at by adding two extra channels to what you can get out of the TD20 module, arbitrary really. I’m trying to decide whether to spend money on building up a hybrid kit for live work and leaving the electronic permanently set up at home for practice. Or…spend money on getting SPD3 properly set up for gigging. I’ll look into the equipment you suggested.

Thanks for your help/advice. The problem was of my making – not a problem with superior drummer. I hadn’t paid proper attention to the mixing control on the front of my USB96 and I was mixing some of the SPD3 signal with a dead signal from the front input jacks. Dumb mistake and I’m embaressed to have made it, but that’s life.

Hello Mark. I’m interested in how you define a “wrong” trigger setting? My trigger sensitivity averages 5-6 across the pads which is where it needs to be to achieve the 127 level at the highest stick velocity – but the majority of my playing would probably be generating a signal around the 90 level. I’m not “belting as hard as I can” to get 127. I’m generally pretty soft on a kit but if you are trying to get the total achievable volume from the system, you obviously need to get to 127 with your hardest hits. With my current equipment this is not producing a usable volume and obviously it could be a range of things, at this point I’m trying to see if other people have experienced and /or fixed this problem.

I see no comment about this being resolved for Drumdude, so I’ll add my piece. I’m using a TD-20X through a Presonus Audiobox USB96 and although I’ve adjusted my trigger sensitivities and checked that I’m getting 127 on a full hit within SPD 3 on the envelope – the ouput back to my headphones or main out to my QSC K12’s is LOW. If I adjust the mixer in SPD3 or the main volume to get more ouput, it distorts the signal.

I’ve started to work on adding compression as needed but I’ve got to say, it’s not what I was expecting. Using SPD3 straight out of the box with the Presonus is not an option to replace my native TD20 sounds at the moment – I wouldn’t produce enough volume for a live gig and it’s actually pretty useless with headphones as well. Pissed.
