It’s not as daunting as it may have been made out to be. Yes, it could be time consuming, but most audio work is at first. Prep work is often a big part of mixing.
Audio production can be a pain in the arse at the best of times… but it’s all about the results and when they’re worth it, then the effort was worth it.
the best part of modern production is that you can save it for use later, saving you the effort of doing it more than once.

Checking out your preset, I noticed your bus compressor threshold is set way too hard. That is going to kill the punch out of everything. At most, you probably want 2db of compression on the bus and not much more. I would probably also add the punch exciter in parallel with the 1176. I would also send the ambient channels to their own bus for separate compression. The EQ on the kick and snare look okay, so all you probably need is to handle the compression.
MIDI has an inherent limitation of 16 channels. A MIDI merge box will overcome this limitation by allowing you to hook up multiple controllers using various series and parallel routings. However, this will not differentiate MIDI notes coming on on that same channel on the software instrument level. You would still need to separate the controllers on different tracks in your DAW.
MIDI does not differentiate by controller. Technically, if you wanted to do this, and if your DAW supports it, you are better off using two instances of SD three and assign each track to its own controller, if you want to keep the same MIDI notes.
The mapping is correct for me. However, Logic may be adding extra information to the MIDI file. I usually just hit the record button in SD3 while playing Logic. Never an issue that way.
Unless they found some setting unknown to every Logic user, the only way to get a MIDI file into SD3 other than hitting the record button in SD3, is to export the MIDI region/track to a file and drag the file into SD3. Dragging MIDI out of Logic otherwise does an export as audio, and cut/copy region doesn’t populate an external clipboard.
I could only be persuade to believe otherwise with a complete and detailed video.
I often use either a closed or tight tip or edge and play with the velocity and placement to get what I want. I will often do this in context of the song itself.
