patrick maguireyes, there are several way to achieve what you want.
You can also turn off the bleed on the instrument you want and then the existing mixer channel is controlling only that sound

patrick maguirei normally use 3 or 4 instances of SD3 in a recording session. works great

patrick maguirenot really afaik,
You can slow it down by pitching it down.
You can also program the rolls in the midi editor of your choosing.

patrick maguirethe numbers in the slider represent octaves /semi-tones/microtones.
hold down shift to make finer, more accurate adjustments. this ay help you get what you want.
It’s simply slowing down or speeding up the sample, its not trying to mimic a real tuning adjustment that simulates loosening the drum head. It gets pretty close to what I’ve needed it to do.

patrick maguireA tip I liked to offer:
When saving a user pre set , name the new settings set/kit using the original name in the title somehow.
For example , if the original pre set was “Ayote default “ name the new settings as “Ayote default xxx”
In the name try to include whatever song or project inspired the new set. This way it will be easier to recall where all original sounds were.
As it is now , the user pre set dialog box is empty and offers no reference to where it once came.
This helps when you want to tweak a drum or mixer state and you want to go back to where it came from.
It will also be listed right next to the original kit and or setting when you go looking for it.

patrick maguireIs there any advantage to updating SD3 if we are not using a Silicon Native DAW?

patrick maguireI just bought Steven slate drums.
because the logo/splash screen destroyed my hard drive and I lost all my clients. I have a lawyer looking into the damages.

patrick maguireThe velocity of an e drum hit is also dictated from the e drum interface. You might have your drums dialed down to not send a velocity beyond a certain level. That being said, I too wish the mouse click velocity wasn’t 127. IT makes quite a loud alarming sound when you’re working on a quiet track. you can select a different velocity with the pop up slider, but that is a PITA to do every move. Maybe there is a universal “mouse click graphic” velocity control that im not aware of.

patrick maguireThe only guy i know who runs Windows has this issue and more. perhaps a cable issue. swap them out and see if that helps.

patrick maguireyes, “old skool” and other presets have insane compression, tape and or distortion noise.
Most of these crazy pre sets have macro buttons near the bottom of the plug in interface where you can dial that back The macro buttons are awesome. You may even want to automate those macro button parameters. Thats an elegant way to have them full thrust when the track is rolling, but completely silent when there is no playback and during quiet parts of the song. I automate the macros all the time. great for tom rides and other tweaky mix moves.

patrick maguireRun your hat and snare and cymbals out different output channels ( its always helpful) Its the SD3 compression thats doing that. or, just turn off the SD3 compression. Many of the presets are way too compressed.

patrick maguireis it the “devil” aspect? or just the space?
