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.

Select the bits you want in the chorus and drag them to the ride. It sounds like you are selecting every note to the right hand side.

Yes there is nothing assigned to tom 1. It will always play tom 2 sounds like that. Click on tom 1 and assign a sound.

You can put any drum on you want. If you choose tom 2 and want a tom 3 sound then from the drop-down you have the choice to search any instrument you want. So just choose what would be a tom 3 sound. I’m not near my computer so I can’t remember all the menu names.

So what do you want rack tom 1 to trigger? I have 5 toms. If the kit doesn’t have 5 toms then I assign the nearest size tom and then tune up or down so I do have 5 toms.

When you click on it, it triggers a full velocity 127. The first thing you should be doing is setting up the triggers on the td27 so they send 127 on a hard hit. The td27 is very forgiving with it’s internal sounds but sd3 will play with full dynamics. Also make sure you have set the usb volume correctly on the td27 as you can turn up the return.

Agreed. The presets are just a starting point. I kept and modified the kick, snare and hi hat for my td50x but stripped the cymbals and toms and started from scratch. It doesn’t take long and worth the effort.

That’s odd as I’ve calibrated my hi hat once and saved a preset and never done it since.

have you chosen the preset. Also what hi hat are you using. Some modules also have an offset for a vh11 which stops at a lower cc value. Check if it’s set to 127 on the module.
