Cesar ValdezSorry, I should’ve been more specific. The side stick in modern metal is where I’m having trouble getting the side stick At an adequate higher value. The side stick sounds great in every other expansion. If there’s any other tips on how to raise the volume of the side stick, I’d really appreciate it
Cesar Valdez2025 and this issue still persists. Come on guys at Toontrack turn up that side stick!

You can see a clip of this set being paired with EZ Drummer to great effect on YouTube. I personally use a flagship Roland module and it triggers Superior Drummer great.
Cesar ValdezYup, because of the limitations of hi-hat stand causing too much vibrations, and setting off false triggers, I’m not surprised that people opt for the foot controller route. If it wasn’t for the small fortune I spent on the VH-13, I’d go for the foot controller myself.

Thanked by: wphallCesar ValdezWhat problems are you experiencing, exactly? Triggering problems from the module? Latency? Samples don’t sound how you want them to? There’s a host of issues to deal with. First, you can start with your module Pre Superior Drummer, and adjust your sensitivity and velocity curve so they track your style playing exactly. Another very important setting that you may have to adjust is your Scan Time. I have mine set to 3.1 or 3.2 ms for the best response but yours may very. In Superior Drummer I had a problem with the samples sounding different when clicking them on the computer vs playing them on the pad. So I had to go into the E-drums settings page and go to the velocity curve box and drop the ceiling from 127 to 126 or 125. And that fixed it. You may or may not have to do this. Also setting the buffer as low as your computer can handle for low latency. My best advice for you is to learn and study the program up and down by getting the manual and read it cover to cover. For a module I recommend the TD-30 for more inputs. But any Roland module can do a great job. Hope this helps a little.

Thanked by: wphallCesar ValdezJust figured out the bleed from instruments fader section and that fix my issues. Thanks again for the help.
Cesar ValdezYes, if I mute the ambience bus, the main instrument and add instrument will sound the same. But I would be sacrificing ambience. I would hate to kill the ambience just to get the instruments to sound the same because this kit really befits greatly from the ambience. What would be the next step for me? As I mentioned before, I’m new to the program.
Cesar ValdezThis is the Djentle Beast preset from Modern Metal EZX. No matter which instrument I add from the preset (add instrument) to the drum set, they do not sound the sound. For example, for my main kick I switched it to the 16×22 Tama Starclassic Performer and had added it again as an Add Instrument as an experiment to hear if there would be a differences between them. And there is when I click between the both. It’s very Noticeable that the both kick drums don’t sound the same. And I’m just in the Djentle Beast preset from Modern Metal, I’m not pulling instruments from any other library. Also, no instruments appear to be stacked. This is going to make it impossible to add more toms to my kit cause they won’t match the preset sonically. There’s probably a simple solution but I’m just too new to the program. Hope my explanation was clear and understandable. Thanks for the reply.

Cesar ValdezThe Dreaded Studio Ghost Voices- Oh yeah, I’m willing to bet that we’re all experiencing it but no one talks about it. It’s like we’re all pretending like it doesn’t exist. lol After a while you’ll get used to it and just ignore it. But yeah we’re all hearing it or at least a lot of us are. Still, don’t quite understand how they could allow such an error to get through and still not be able to fix it. Hopefully they’ll address it someday.

Thanked by: ShootieCesar ValdezOkay then technically I’ve only done this once with my last library via Product Manager. So what do you do about the rest of the libraries that weren’t done in this way? I’m probably making this a lot harder than it really is.
Cesar ValdezOkay I have a question. If I have 2 instances of sd3 in logic, will I be able to trigger the sounds of a library (Modern Metal EZX) on the e-kit on one instance while playing against loops from a different library (Latin Cuban percussion EZX) at the same time? Basically I want to be able to play the drums over percussion loops. Is this possible? Any and all help would be much appreciated.

Cesar ValdezHi Ejis, I hope I wasn’t the one you called a douchebag. I’ve never been called that before LOL. I know the software can be tough. I’m having a difficult time getting it to cooperate the way it should myself . At this point the only thing you can do is read the manual over and over again and start pushing buttons. I also bought some video tutorials. I forget the name. They helped a little. We’re just going to have to put in a little extra time and work into. If I figure out any little things, I’ll make sure to send it your way. Good luck.
