So if you solo each of those tracks in sd3 you get missing hits every so often in one and if you solo the other you get just one hit now and again? What happens if you raise the velocity of the note that only plays in the amb ribbon? Does it then play in oh dyn? What is the cc value for positional sensing on the one that plays in the amb ribbon? Is it different to the other notes cc value?

Which library is this happening with? Is it every kit/ride or a specific one?

I do agree. I can never remember which pack I used. It would be useful if the presets remembered the pack and then switched to the correct one. Also a user preset manger so we could order them how we like. I rarely use the presets supplied and if I do I change them and save as my own.

You may have to download again if those files are corrupted.

Its not in the menu of midi setup. Go to Midi in/E-Drum Settings edrum settings. It’s on the right hand bar on the main page and will take you there. On the right side also is Midi Mapping. That’s the one you don’t want to change. It might be a good idea to have a look through the manual.

On the main page you can change midi mapping but it’s best to leave that alone. I’d go to the edrum mapping and create a map for both kits and save them separately. All you do then is apply the map to the preset you are using. You definitely can change note numbers in the edrum settings and main page. I have created many different midi settings for different libraries this way.

Another way I have done this is using drum maps in Cubase. You can change the in and out midi not number. That way the midi stays the same but the drum map changes the note sent. Of course you need Cubase for that. obviously the top method is what you would use in standalone.

Never heard of it. Cubase doesn’t have something called ripple. It does however have the ability to nudge forward or back.

It’s all in the module and not sd3. That only plays what is being sent to it. What module are you using?

Good to hear it’s working

I was thinking memory could be a problem with 32gig but you still struggled with small kits. I have 32gig and haven’t hit a memory problem with my size kits plus everything else in my DAW. Do you have a virus program that checks files being read? I have Cubase and sd3 removed from windows defender. Do you have an old ssd you could plug into the m/b to try that? I’m trying to think of things that could narrow it down.

If power is set to performance it should be fine. You can actually use the ultimate power settings. If you google it there are instructions on how to make it visible.

I just realised the default kit mentioned is 25Gig in size. That is huge. I wonder if the problem lies there. What if you pull up a preset. Does that load fast? My kits are about 4 to 8Gig and load in less than 10 seconds. Going on that then a 25Gig kit should load in about 30 seconds.

I use contact libraries (not drums) but they don’t tend to be as large as sd3. When I moved from ssd to m.2 there was a big difference in load times.

So that’s definitely not right. It shouldn’t be that slow. I use a m.2 drive for sd3 and kits larger than yours load in a couple of seconds. Do you have a spare m.2 slot to try? I have 2 m.2 drives and one of them will not work with my ujam vsti’s. SD3 works fine from both my m.2 drives. I’m using Cubase 14 on win 11. even my ssd drive loads in about 30 seconds. Do you have space anywhere else to try out? Sometimes the m.2 slot has shared access on a m/b.

I’ve read again and can see you are using on the os drive. How much space is left on the drive? If it’s full or getting close then you may have problems. I would get a 2nd m.2 drive to put sd3 on and keep away from the os drive. It’s also a good idea to do this in case you ever need to reinstall windows. I keep all my vsti content on a seperate m.2 drive and on a ssd back drive. I’d hate to have to download them all again.

If you do get a 2nd drive you can just copy to the new drive and point sd3 at them. As easy as that!

I always seem to be fiddling with cent and not semitones or octaves. My guess is the values were chosen for percussion where it may work on some items. Octaves definitely don’t sound right on drums. Maybe some use it for certain effects though.

Yup way off topic. I keep coming back to see if there is anything meaningful added. No such luck so far. Thankfully I don’t use the bounce function. I use multiouts and render in place in Cubase which works bang on. Definitely time for everyone to step back. Well except toontrack as that’s the only reason I keep reading this thread to see if they have anything to add.

Are you sure it’s still perfectly in time at other sample rates than 44.1kHz? My example in the thread is not using the internal bounce from the plugin. Also in my tests the results are the same whether you use the DAW to bounce or the internal plugin bounce.

That’s interesting. So if you use the multiouts to separate tracks in your DAW it plays back ok but if you then use the DAW to render to audio this still happens. I use 44.1khz but do occasionally get sent tracks at 48khz. So far they all have live drums. What DAW are you using and can it do its own render in place like Cubase? I thought when the DAW did it (Cubase can do it in real time) then it’s the DAW controls the writing of audio.

Definitely something I need to be aware of if I use 48khz sample rate.
