MintberryCrunch is a genius!  I’ve done the 50X upgrade and changed nothing in SD3 and it was a seemless transition.  The cc data for the digital pads works to get all the articulations without failure if properly set up before the upgrade.  SD3 doesn’t know the difference from the midi information.  I’ve never been able to get “rim only” and “rim shot” to work properly on the digital snare with SD3 the way they do with the module.  I just use the velocity gate as a work around to have them both.

Hello, I recently updated to 1.07 and now crashing in Reaper.  No bass image as in the above posts.  Standalone work fine.  Ive uninstalled and reinstalled several times with no luck.  EZBass is currently unusable.  In reaper I get a message that the sound library needs to be updated but my Toontrack installer says everything is up to date.  Please Help!

I would go to Roland’s web site and make sure the VH-13 is compatible with your module.  You can do some crazy if you really need to but ist a lot of $$$ to find out that only two zones will work.  I use the Alesis Strike module and I had all the drama with their original moving hat.  Most of my problems came from the physical trigger in the top hat pad itself.  I could get the software to work fine for all of my open closed sounds but the trigger performance was just terrible.  I ended up buying a VH-12 which they said wouldn’t work, which it didn’t unless the offset was set above 85.  Then it all came to life; however, I lost the higher end of the open sounds, so it was like playing an acoustic hat with the cymbals set very close together.  Not terrible but not what I wanted.  Finally I used the Alesis bottom Hat and variable controller (which always worked okay for me) with the VH-12 Top cymbal trigger and HOLY CRAP.  It works great!

Bottom Line… If you are willing to experiment a little anything is possible.

It sounds to me like perhaps your up stroke is triggering your tip trigger or one of the bell triggers.  Loading the TD-50 preset probably defaults to the VH-13 hat settings,  the VH-10 doesn’t have a bell trigger or pressure sensing so SD3 may be having trouble mapping the stray triggers.  Id try a different preset or re map the hi hat manually. Or your clutch is physically loose and causing a re-trigger, wild ques!  Press down and let up quick and see what instrument is triggering.  I had a similar issue where I had a cymbal crash triggering with the heel splash technique.  I had to find out where the stray midi signal was coming from and send it to something that made more sense to my ears IE “Hi Hat Edge Open 4”.  I am sure you can find the result you want, it just may take time.  There is a velocity gate setting somewhere that will cut out the quietest hits but if you gate the bow you may loose dynamics or drop softer strikes from the bow. Good Luck!  I hope some of this is helpful.
