Hi,

I am using the TD-17KVX hooked up to the audio interface and USB, and have chosen ‘TD-17’ as input in Ableton.

I have done everything in the video attached above to fix this.

So the options are to either Increase sensitivity on the pads on the Module or adjust the velocity curves in SD3?

Will this not compromise the dynamic range of MIDI notes?

[tommyq94]

Has anyone resolved this issue?

Im experiencing the same thing with my TD-17.

The kit in SD3 sounds fine when I click the drum parts, but very quiet when I play on my kit.

I tried the method in the video attached above but the issue still persists. I am using the default kits and haven’t bought any of the paid drum kits.

Would really appreciate any help at all!

Hey, thanks for the reply. I know its possible to move the closed point up in Superior Drummer 3 but would that limit my dynamic range when playing?

Surely a Roland TD-17 when playing with Superior Drummer 3 should register 0-127 when playing a hi-hat?

I thought this would have been the normal range for a kit and software of this range.

[tommyq94]

So is that normal for a Roland VH-10 hi-hat not to register a full MIDI velocity range of 0-127?

Or does this mean something is defective?

It is a problem as I currently cant register a closed hi-hat hit. Its’ really frustrating…

No i haven’t, i have only recently bought SD3 and had issues like this, I havent experienced this with Addictive Drums in the past.

I’ll search for a Roland forum and support now.

I have attached a recording of me using Snoize playing the pads and cymbals as hard as I can (maybe mute the video when watching).

I noticed I can get to 127 on the Toms, Snare and Ride only.

This must be an issue with the Drum kit itself, which is strange as everything is on default settings to level the playing field.

Anyway, thanks everyone for your help and quick replies, much appreciated.

If anyone has any idea come to them as to what might fix this I would really appreciate it!

The Hi-hat edge is also coming out at 127 or close to it..

[tommyq94]

The preset was at 127 but went down to 89 as soon as i calibrated the hi-hat as shown in the video.

It’s strange because I can see the Snare hiting at 127 in the recording in Ableton, so its just the hi-hat?

Is this usually the case with TD-17 and Superior Drummer 3, or is it a fault of my Drum kit?

Thanks

Hi guys,

Just to hopefully make things easier I have factory reset the TD-17 and chosen the TD-17 Preset and the Default SD3 Kit.

I have attached a screen recording of my issues after that.

I can calibrate the hi hat as shown in the video, but does this mean my dynamic range is lowered to 0-87 when it should range from 0-127?

I would prefer to have the full MIDI velocity range for realism.

Really appreciate your help guys.

The other thing, my two crash cymbals and Kick are a bit quieter now, should I raise the sensitivity within the TD-17 module first before playing with volumes in SD3?

Thanks

I can close the hi-hat physically but its not registering as closed in SD3.

The video I recorded was me hitting the hi hat with my foot on the pedal and it only goes as far as ”Open 1″ or “Open 2”, so I cant reach the “Closed” or “Tight” at all.

I had actually watched that video when trying to figure this out too!

[tommyq94]

Oh sorry, yes I am using a TD-17 KVX and using the TD-17 preset in Superior Drummer.

I dont remember ever seeing an option to change the resolution in the module.

I am using a VH-10 Hi hat with this hi-hat stand: https://knightmusic.com/product/mapex-tornado-hi-hat-stand-h200tnd/

Its strange that I can’t close the hi hat fully and its only registering open hi hat hits when I record it.

Is this likely to be an issue with the electronic drum kit or module, or would it be within Superior Drummer?

Hi,

I have uploaded the short video of me playing the hi-hat with my foot on the pedal. So its fully closed but not registering.

I then open the hi hat and put my foot on the pedal to show it doesn’t close fully in SD3.

Hi Jack,

I have made the link I shared public now so you should be able to view it. I would really appreciate any help at all.

Thanks
