Can’t you substitute fills from another section or just paste a rhythm? If not then you really are giving yourself a massive job, as matching sounds and getting it to sound right, will take a lot of work. Well unless you go in a different direction and do something completely different for the fills.

You can open a kit and swap out any kit pieces and then save as a preset. What exactly are you missing? These kits are recorded in different spaces and work best if played from the same library. These are real kits!

You can map manually without having to wait.

I use Cubase and keep all my midi in Cubase. If I use tracker I create all the replacements in sd3. I then enable midi out in sd3 (also set midi in to none) and record the output to a midi track in Cubase. SD3 has to be set to follow host when playing back to record. Works for me and doesn’t take much time to setup. I really can’t be bothered with the tempo map thing and this works just as well with much less hassle.
When recorded onto a midi track just drop the midi onto the sd3 midi track or another instance of sd3. I always turn off midi out afterwards as well.

What ekit are you using? I don’t really want to download the video.

The above works. I have sd2 installed for the very same reason.

Yes that’s the way to do it, as you can’t duplicate note numbers on different components. Glad you got it sorted.

There are different things you can save in sd3. Project will save everything. Preset will save the kit. In edrum settings you can save your own midi mapping. What are you trying to save?

Needs to be very subtle though (for Gadd) as it’s not an even bend with the nature of the tuning he does.

Gadd would detune one tensioner on the toms to get a bend on the note. That’s a tough one to achieve in sd3!

The td17 will do midi over USB. You don’t need a midi interface?

td17 usb to laptop, Scarlett usb to laptop.

sd3 choose td17 for midi interface.

sd3 choose Scarlett asio for audio.

It’s that simple. You then listen to the output of the Scarlett via headphones or plugged into speakers.

Not what I know of. Once you select search you can narrow it down with the filters.

Have you changed the usb to vendor mode on the module? You need to do this so that you get audio as well as midi over usb. When you do this windows should automatically install the asio driver. You should then select asio in sd3 and then the Roland driver. The picture shows you selecting wasapi which will never give you low latency. By the way you can check that the Roland driver is installed by looking in the control panel where it has an app.

Then it’s reporting the latency wrong as you certainly don’t get an echo/flam sound with 5.6ms. Are you saying you are using the td17 as an audio interface? I know the Roland drivers are not great for audio latency. I tested my td30 but had to drop the buffers to the lowest setting to get it acceptable. With my RME interface I can have the buffers much larger and get very low latency.

Sorry missed the 2nd page messages. If using the module as an audio interface then you can open the app from the control panel. It just has a slider that goes down to 32. As above though. 32 is the only acceptable setting in my opinion. Above that and I can feel the latency.

Looking at the manual I don’t see how the brain acts as an audio interface for output from a connected computer. Maybe the TD30 is different in that regard.

Just checked the manual and it can send and receive audio over USB.
