Thanks!

I am pretty sure now that it would work, given I invest some time to learn how to manually edit the MIDI notes. My impression from reading other threads is that it might give me some grey hair, but not impossible.

Thanks for your reply! I didn’t think of that, but it makes sense. I just thought of connecting the both modules directly to the computer via USB, but maybe it would be better to connect them in series.

But still scary to invest if I am not sure it will work…

Thanks! That was exactly what I was after. I did not realize I could just add instruments like that, thought I needed to replace the toms, cymbals etc, that what I can see in the kit is the given number.

Is the Orchestral Percussion SDX considered as an own instance? Could I connect the e-drum kit and a Octapad to the the SDX. Given the price, I tend to think so, but is also labeled an SDX, which I guess means it is just another set of sounds that is to be used in Superior Drummer.

(Sorry for a real newbie question…)

Thanks for your answer! Sounds promising. Now I know it works, and when I pull the trigger I will try your solution. If I need to open my DAW (Reason) even for practicing, that isn’t a big problem, as I need the computer anyway.

Thanks for quick response!

Great to hear that it is possible. Not so great to realize that a lot of midi mapping is needed 😵‍💫

I will use it both as a standalone (most of the time) and in Reason sometimes for recording.

Maybe a stupid question: If I use my e-drum kit, I use all but 4 instruments/”slots” in Superior Drummer. So 4 more pads only? So if I connect the Octapad, I can only use half of the pads? Or is it possible to expand the kits in Superior Drummer? It seems like the Orchestral SDX have a lot more to play at the same time, but that I can just guess from image on Toontrack.com

Thanks for your reply! This is a bit embarrassing. I have spent a lot of time to figure out this cross talk thing. I followed your suggestion and learned a lot. And I was so hooked up on the idea that it had to do with the connection between the drum brain and SD3, as I saw this mysterious notes and triggers in SD3. I missed the obvious – the cable to the racktom 1 had slightly got out of the position. Not enough to make it silent, but enough to make the rimshot being triggered by other pads. I thought it was a high tech problem. 😳
