roland ratLook down to the velocity grid at the bottom. You can change this to view hi hat pedal cc4. You will see a new grid that looks like pipes joined together.
I’m afraid I usually delete this info completely, which frees up hat editing, but you can just remove the bit you want to edit if you prefer. Removing the info entirely doesn’t affect what you recorded, you still keep that. I have a VH-11, which doesn’t trigger quite as I would like, so I always end up editing hats.
roland ratThanks Henrik.
roland ratOr is it a Purdey?
roland ratHi John
Yes many thanks I think that works. I suppose the quick way to edit hi-hat then is to rip out all the dots in the enable curve screen, and edit as you please in velocity mode. Ripping out the curve doesn’t seem to affect the recorded stuff I don’t want to edit, but it does enable editing on the stuff I do. Right?
Rat.
roland ratHey all this is a really important one for me because it means effectively that in S3 you can’t fully edit a hi-hat part played in from an e-kit.
The software will ‘remember’ what you played in, opening and shutting, all the mistriggers off the hi-hat item (i.e. VH11, which misfires a lot) and no matter what you do, including ripping the entire hat part out and programming it in from scratch, S3 will still only allow what you played in earlier as the part. Even if you move from articulation to articulation, it will still remember opening and shutting or any other hat event EVEN IF YOU HAVEN’T PROGRAMMED S3 TO DO THAT.
So I’m doing something wrong, or S3 needs a sort out!
roland ratAh, thanks Henrik.
roland ratHi John
Thus far, I’ve sent my cymbals to the OH Cond per Mike Luke’s advice in videos, including the ride (and two x-cyms I’ve added to my rather large kit), and created a channel for the ride only (because in previous recordings done with acoustic kits, I had trouble isolating the ride in order to bring its level up in some pretty dense and busy music, and I wanted to avoid that in S3).
That’s handy advice re close and bleed: however, since traditional OH tracks (in an acoustic recording) are stereo and contain the whole kit, what would S3’s overheads spectrum consist of? A mix of all the OH & AMB channels?
Sorry, but as a noob just trying to get a handle on this pretty complex but brilliant new toy.

roland ratOkay. As long as it follows any rallantandos it should be all right. I can use the click from the tempo map in Reaper anyway I guess.
roland ratHi Scott
Yes I pressed the record button on SD3 transport, and then went to Reaper and pressed record there. You get two identical recordings. So, naturally, I’m wondering, is there a way not to have the Reaper version of it? If I’m not going to use it …
In SD3 I edited what I played, but my Reaper track stayed as it was. On playback you get both, which is weird to hear! But I’m not sure that I can edit articulations (hi-hat being the prime culprit, even tho my VH11 triggers well) in Reaper. You can only really get into the midi in SD3.
Another thing I notice is that although I’m following host, whilst SD3 follows the tempo it doesn’t follow the time sig (always 4/4), which could be a problem moving forward as most of what I play involves multiple meter. Is there a cure for that as well?
Cheers
Rat.
EDIT: if you press record on SD3 and hit play on the Reaper transport, you only record in SD3 not in Reaper.
roland ratAll done now. Had to install drivers for the UM1 and make that appear in midi devices in the computer.
Next up: dodgy hi-hat.
roland ratHi Mark
What does?
I have three or four parameters listed above.
Cheers.
roland ratAnybody out there?
roland ratCheers John, will do.
