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.

Got you. Yes that doesn’t sound right.

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.

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.
