You can copy them across as I’ve done it. On the old computer go to a preset you created and view in folder then copy them all.

I just about always load the dry kits. That is how you get a clean drum sound without processing.

Ah so not a fade out of drums. Then you need to change the velocity of hits. There are methods in different DAWs that could do this.

You should be able to write automation for controller 7 in your DAW to control the overall volume of sd3. I don’t know Acid but it should be a pretty basic for any DAW. Do you have a fader for sd3? If so can you record automation for that fader?

I don’t think they would reference actual kits either as used by the bands. It’s the space and drums they record and not the bands and their kits. Getting a certain sound is then down to the engineer/producer which is you! Seems an odd question with a very big Oasis angle.

I can’t answer the 1st question but the sensitivity and threshold should definitely be set on the module. If you can’t give sd3 the right midi to start with then you are on a losing battle.

So as above but if you want a large kit then you will have to change the midi notes one of them sends. SD3 has presets but only one will work. You can create your own midi preset based on the td17 and add note numbers for all the extra drums being triggered by the Alesis. You can’t have duplicate nite numbers even if they originate from different devices. I did that in the past with my ddrum4 and Alesis io. There are no custom patches for two modules playing one large kit.

So if you record a hard drum hit is it at velocity 127? The comments I made earlier about setting up sensitivity still apply. Also you can turn up sd3. It has an overall volume control as do all the individual drums as well as the mixer section. I certainly do not use sensitivity with my td50x to force the higher velocities at softer hits. I set it so that a normal playing hit I expect to trigger a full volume. I don’t change the velocity curves either as I want a full dynamic range. So as I mentioned earlier as well, the modules are more compressed and forgiving. SD3 acts more like real drums.

It’s all mentioned above. Also you don’t say if you are using an audio interface or just the module?

So have you actually loaded sd3 from within acid? SD3 loaded into a DAW then the DAW takes care of midi and audio. Do other vst instruments work in acid? I haven’t actually heard of Acid and use Cubase myself (also know sd3 loads in reaper as well without problems)

Download reaper and check it loads in that DAW. Remember you don’t open as standalone. You need to load from within the DAW

If you mean a single kit then I don’t think that is possible.

I used to get a lot of level 42 jibes but I guess they are not as well known these days. I don’t mind by the way. I find rooms of Hansa a mixed bag. I primarily bought it for rota toms and octabahns. I’m not mad on the snare drums and tend to use ones out of d&d or the sd3 kits. I do use the kits and find the dry small kits great for 70s retro. I haven’t got it in front of me at the moment to go into detail as all my gear is in storage until I move into my new house. Very frustrating

Same in Cubase. If I load a project with several instances of sd3 they load automatically and are then ready to play.

Before you bounce do you actually see any activity on oh mono? If not then maybe it’s not used in the preset you are using. I’ll have to take a look myself when I get a chance as I haven’t noticed it.
