+1 for this. It would also be useful to be able automate bypassing plugins in a mix channel. Currently all the control paramaters of a plugin can be assigned to a macro, but you can’t assign turning a plugin on/off, which is frustrating.

I’m having the same problem. It seems all the cymbals sample panning is constrained by which sample you choose. I’m replacing the right hand crash with another sample, but once replaced, the sound comes from the left. I’ve noticed now that when you browse through different cymbals in the instrument search list, they have their panning already set.

It’s very frustrating that the panning is determined by the sample, and not by where you place the instrument in the kit layout, which seems absolutely ridiculous to me, unless I’m doing something wrong.

If I’m correct, and the cymbal panning is hard coded, then Toontrack, please add a panning column in the Search for Instrument window so we can filter for the cotrrect side of the kit.

I found I had to increase the sensitivity settings on the brain of my TD25KV whilst monitoring the velocity that SD3 was registering until it showed a full velocity hit. I had to do this separately for each kit piece until I found the right sensitivity for my playing style.

Just tested, and all is working now. Thanks for your help Olle.

Thanks Olle. I’ve mean playing around with the Hi-Hat Pedal Control following your reply, and I can get it to work that way. I’m assuming once that’s saved as a preset, that will load automatically every time?

Many thanks,
Paul

But it doesn’t, that’s the point. Selecting ‘more closed’ in SD2 fixes the problem. Doing that in SD3 makes no difference.

Toontrack – any clues?

SD2 works flawlessly with the TD25, so why doesn’t SD3 work properly? This new benchmark in drum software seems to have taken a backward step.

Hi Jurgen,

I’m trying your solution, but setting 42 => 42 makes no difference unfortunately – the closed HH still sounds semi open. Did you change anything on your TD25 brain?

Regards,
Paul

The CC range for the HH pedal goes from 0 to 90. I tried changing the “HH note border” to 127, which is set to 90 by default in the TD25, but it makes no difference to the CC range in SD3.
The tip trigger is triggering note value 8, so that’s correct.

Unfortunately there is no way to set the offset on the TD25 as Mark suggested, as you only have a thumb wheel on top of the HH itself with which to adjust the calibration (which from looking at a TD30, would be what Mark refers to as the offset). But again, this makes no difference to the CC messages received by SD3.

It’s very frustrating to not be able to get the tight closed HH, as the rest of SD3 works flawlessly and sounds fantastic.
