To be clear. You are using sd3 standalone, you have gone into settings and selected the td27 driver? If the driver is not available then it’s not sd3. It’s either the module not connecting or the Mac not recognising it. I don’t own a Mac but surely you can check in the settings somewhere that the td27 shows as an audio device? If not then that’s where your problem is. Have you tried posting(joining)  on the vdrums forum? I’m sure there are quite a few on there using a td27 with a Mac.

Now this maybe a stupid question but have you checked you have the td27 in vendor mode? Audio only works if vendor mode is enabled.

Has the Mac been updated? I’ve read about problems with Roland modules not being recognised after an os update. Is the td27 firmware up to date?

In Cubase it saves with the project. What you should save is your midi maps. Also you can’t duplicate a note number on another instrument. They have to be exclusive. (Not withstanding stacking)

Do you get the other sounds dropping as well? It sounds like your computer is struggling at the low buffer sizes you are using. What computer  do you  have, as sd3 ran fine on my 14 year old i7?

No sd3 definitely will not load the sd2 preset or automatically get substituted if a project was created with sd2.

Use the v71 an an audio interface (you may have to enable vendor mode on the module). Choose the v71 in the audio settings. In the v71 you can either control the level of usb input and turn the v71 mixer sliders down or under midi settings turn local setting to off. Remember to turn back on if you later want to hear their voice v71 sounds

Try a search as this has been brought up loads of times.

First make sure the hardest hits on the kit generate a 127 velocity. The module is very forgiving but SD3 has a much larger dynamic range. Also turn the sd3 drums up.

I know what you mean and I’m 10 years younger. I’m a multi instrumentalist too but primarily a drummer and producer. Totally out of action at the moment as my house has sold and all my kit is in storage. I’m hoping to get somewhere I can build a studio as opposed to just a room in the house.

Use multi outputs. SD3 will do 32 channels. Add the outputs in sd3 and then route to them as you like. You can then mix in the DAW. You can even render in the DAW (if yours allows it) then you have 32 tracks of audio.

Yes it’s just the hi hat. And it’s not really a problem. The same restriction will also be the same in AD.

Premier, Pearl, Yamaha kits from the core library give you the more modern sound and you can choose whichever snare you like. Go for a dry preset for the most natural sound. I’ve used the premier kit quite a bit when we were creating services online during covid lockdown.

If the td17 only sends up to 89 then that is the range you will get 0-89 and nit 0-127 that you can’t change. Moving the calibration points around will still give you a decent playing range. You can’t however have full 127 range as the module is just not generating it.

Record what the module outputs for the hi hat and check what cc is being used, what note values are being used. You shouldn’t have to map every articulations.
