Check the piano roll or event editor in Logic to see if there are any stray notes or CC information.

You might have to install EZD for the library. Not sure about SD2 as far as installing the library itself (I never owned SD2), but worst comes to worse, install it and then let SD3 detect the library. You should then be able to erase the app and keep the library.

Sounds like you need to adjust the sensitivity of your drums to your playing style in order to produce the appropriate MIDI velocities. Your hardest hit should generate a velocity of 127. Following that, you might want to further fine tune it the velocity map in the MIDI/e-Drum Settings (and save it).

As long as you have the libraries, the MIDI should appear in your Grooves tab. Worst case is that you may need to run the Product Manager to see if there are any updates needed to be installed for SD3. That should take care of any missing MIDI.

Again, this all depends on the stereo file itself. If it sounds like it was recorded through the phone in someone’s garage, you can expect to have issues because of the nature of the recording. Perhaps, one day the ML behind the tracker might be smart enough to determine a kit piece due to its placement within a beat, but for now, expect to do a bit of work on a stereo file especially if you have a less than satisfactory recording.

I have managed to extract many grooves off of a number of YouTube videos (don’t worry, they were marked as free and public domain) where the sound was clean. The tracker did an excellent job with it.

How did you try to get it into Logic? Unless you changed any mappings, dragging a groove straight to Logic’s instrument track should work fine.

Please be a little more specific as to the problem that you are experiencing in order to get a better idea.

The panning should be determined by how it was recorded since that is how it is hitting the overhead mic and not by any graphic. The graphics are not by any means an accurate representation of the kit considering that you can route any kit piece to its own channel and create your own panning rules, as well as select almost any kit piece as a replacement.

You’re free to change the rules and set everything up however you want to.

This all depends on how clean your stereo track is. I’ve had some good results from clean stereo tracks.

Simplest test is if  you are seeing any MIDI info in your DAW. If so, then your drums are fine in that respect. Otherwise, you will probably need to see if there’s a MIDI driver for your eDrum, if it is not recognized as class compliant.

Considering that all of the SDXs made around the SD2 work seamlessly, I can’t imagine that you will have any real issues. You may have corner cases, but you can fix those with your own MIDI mapping in the MIDI/e-drum Settings, which is really that daunting.

SD3 doesn’t always read Logic’s exports. It is often better to record it into SD3 rather than try to import it from a file.

Your best move is to put SD3 into record mode and hit play in Logic.

Just remember, just because you are playing the drums in SD3 through the MIDI pad controllers, this does not mean that you have to physically play those controllers like a drummer would.

You can open the Drums (and others) tab in a different window simultaneously. Impact to workflow is minimal.

In short, download the Controller Editor and map the pads to SD3 that is comfortable to your playing style. The beauty about the Mikro is that you can have 16 different pad groupings which will enable to map different kit pieces as needed. For example, I have one pad group that I use to play hi-hats with the kit while another pad group uses the ride cymbal in the exact same pads that I use for the hi-hat in the other group. You do not need to change your playing style to change kit pieces.

I have posted  part of my Mikro configuration in this thread that you can have a look at. Open it up in the Controller Editor. I found my style after watching videos of others do it and took bits and pieces of what I liked best of them. Enjoy.

If you have questions, feel free to ask.
