Consider using Gig Performer to host SD3, or any plugin for that matter. I posted a Scriptlet for creating the “chick” note for a simple CC pedal here: https://community.gigperformer.com/t/hi-hat-chick-sound/17041

Gig Performer supports Setlists, Songs, Variations, and can switch “Rackspaces”. This lets me customize the SD3 setup as well as the Zendrum mapping song by song or during different parts of songs.

I can leave SD3 with its default mapping and never touch my standard Zendrum mapping. I just create a quick translation map in Gig Performer as needed. For instance, I can go from a Charlie Watts (Legacy of Rock), small kit setup with just a few toms and many snare articulations to a 1980s Phil Collins (Hitmaker) setup with toms galore, to a completely different Cuban Percussion/Drum setup for a Salsa groove – all with the touch of a button. And I never have to remap the Zendrum or SD3.

And with no extra hardware, I can get a HH chick with a simple Kawai piano sustain pedal.
