I can get all articulations with the TD-50X Mapping, I’m just asking how to map those notes above. By the way the hihat plays beautifully and without sound artifacts, splashes are dynamic and there’s no false triggering, great work toontrack!
You can just use only 1 hihat in SD3, what you can do is open another instance of SD3 and connect the TD-30 directly to the computer instead of the td-27, select both midi inputs in Sd3. You’ll need a powerful computer and 2 USB ports to do this of course. You will need to create your own MIDI map for the TD-30 but the VH-12 should work automatically.
the velocity to volume ratio is one of the most annoying properties of toontrack libraries, all are different, the stock SD3 library is really quiet, even if your module sends 127 the cymbals sound quiet, so what you need to do is check your module sends 127 for your hardest hits and then increase the gain in the master volume, I have mine for the SD3 stock library clean presets at +8dB, but for the Fields Of Rock Expansion for instance you need to dial it down to -1dB or -2dB or you will blow your head off.
Yes, the TD-27 sends aftertouch for the hihat touch choke. Can you elaborate on how to achieve it? I tried to see how the ride choke was triggered when touched but I don’t see anything special on the midi processed by SD3.
Since you’re playing E-Drums and you’re not a producer/song writer, I can tell you that some libraries sound great on the computer but are not so great when used with E-drums, like the Death & Darkness for instance, the stock library is also recorded very quietly, you can barely hear the cymbals whereas the Fields of Rock is just plug and play with edrums, you just need to modify the midi mapping but then you can blow your ears off very easily!
