Hello,  Thanks for any assistance as well….I am on a Mac 14.6.1 using a Mac Studio with a Roland TD-50X module. I am having a similar issue and I DO see 37 come up on the midi monitor when I hit the sidestick. My problem is that SD 3.0 gives me about 2 inches at Most on the sidestick to get the hit correctly. Otherwise it registers as a regular snare hit.  With my Roland TD-50X module, I have the sidestick activated no problem and it sounds correct anywhere on the edge where I hit it.

Also, just to affirm, The visual drum scene in SD 3.0 shows that the different hits, Snare And Sidestick are taking place.

Many Thanks for any help….Frank B.

I’ve had the same issues with my Roland TD-30 module going into SD 3.0 – I actually had just posted a separate new thread before I found this one. .

I also use E-Drums with a Roland TD-30 Module. I think Brad is correct in that the drum sounds are proprietary to Toontrack etc. You can STILL go Midi into your DAW and set up Superior Drummer as a software instrument.  In SD 3.0 in Logic, I go to the Settings/E-Drums menu choice and I can use Superior Drummer 3.0 Sound Kits to record with my E-drums.

It’s almost the same but maybe better, since you have the Superior Drummer 3.0 Mixer at hand.

Already I am enjoying SD 3.0 much better than SD 2. The fact that I can choose TD-11 out of the box as the e-drum midi in SD is cool. Is that desirable to do or should I choose ‘Generic E-Drums’ instead? That was the case with SD 2.0.

I will play with the Velocity settings and see what I can do – I think I have already done this but we’ll see. Thanks for your assistance,
Frank B.

Thanks for replying Matthew. I am new to drumming (…not to music) and I was told that the TD-11 was a good buy because they improved the sensitivity of the heads a lot.
It’s key to understand: As a stand alone, the heads are fantastic. It’s only when I try to run SD 3.0 sounds that it loses its sensitivity.

FYI, I use Logic Pro X and sometimes run their drum-producer kits with my e-drums. THEY sound great as well with the heads’ sensitivity. So not to sound accusatory but SD 3.0 might be the one who needs to look at this issue.
Thanks,
Frank B.
