The clean kits from the stock SD3 library are known to be very quiet with E-Drums but some presets sound great and can drive the P&D easily so is not an issue with SD3 samples, the issue is that the P&D expects a signal that is nice and hot, which the TD-27 as audio interface simply cannot give, I use an RME Fireface UCX II Audio interface and I can create a submix especially for the P&D only, you can choose from +4dB up to 19dB and the thumper will react accordingly, another advantage is you can trigger it only with the SD3 sounds by selecting another output and routing it to the P&D so you don’t trigger it with every computer sound, which is very annoying. I started with the RME Babyface and it worked great too.
I have the same problem with a Roland TD-27 and EZD3. I think adjusting the USB Input gain in the Roland module is not really the solution. Yes, it does significantly increase the volume, but it increases the volume from any sound coming from the computer, not just the drums. It is in effect the same as turning up the main audio volume from the computer’s OS.
it’s the solution if you don’t want to buy an audio interface with more than 2 outs to create a submix for the drums and another for the computer sounds
I have exactly the same problem. I’m usuing EZdrummer 3 standalone version 3.0.6 (build 35660) [64-bit] with Roland TD07kv + VH-10 and when I play fast paced hi hats with the pedal there is a constant splash sound. I tweaked every setting in the module, on the hi hat itself and the plug-in best to my knowledge but couldn’t get rid of the problem.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you
There’s a setting in the hihat midi pedal mapping section called “edrum optimized” make sure you use that.
Gig Performer is available on Mac. There’s also MainStage, but I’m not sure how that ranks up to Gig Performer these days. I know a bunch of people on this forum are using Gig Performer.

If you are playing SD3 live and/or want to switch presets quickly, say in a few seconds like on a drum module – which seems to me a reasonable goal – the only option I’m aware of is a VST host. It took me a little while to understand it having never used one before. But now that I have it setup it works well. You can even map your laptop keyboard or midi notes to switch presets.

Yes, you mentioned Cantabile, but I’m using a mac, so no dice…
But it would be nice if when changing user presets within the same SDX the corresponding MIDI map would load, right now you have to go to the midi settings and change it there, I don’t want to save 1 project for each user preset…
I’m on mac Sequoia 15.1 and the latest SD3 version, yes I’m talking about the Audio/Midi Settings in SD3, so thanks to Petter for the confirmation, it’s no big deal, I was just unsure if this was normal or a bug.
