Hello all,
I run Superior Drummer 2.2.3 64Bit in Windows 7 64Bit with Cubase 5.5.2 64Bit on a new machine, i7 3.2GHz, WD VelociRaptor HD’s, 8 GB Kingston RAM. I use a Yamaha DTXtreme III kit to trigger SD via USB MIDI. When I run Toontrack Solo and select e-drums as the controller everything triggers perfectly. When I run SD in my DAW, things get messy. The toms, snare and bass drum pads are ok. The tom rims are hi hats and the hi hats are rims, side sticks and toms depending where you hit them. Cymbols are ok for the most part. Using the MIDI Learn function I assigned the correct articulation to toms and cymbols with no problems. The hi hats are proving to be very difficult and I can’t seem to do it. There are so many articulations available. Do I assign them all? What are the trigger articulations at the bottom and how are the different from the others? I’ve removed all articulations and started from scratch…it still gets messed up some how. Can any body help. Am I amble to select e-drums as the controller when I run SD in my DAW like I can in Toontrack Solo ? I don’t see this option.
Hope you can help.
Thanks.
I was having this problem as well but with Toontrack solo. I have a similar setup using a maxed out DTXtreme III. After browsing the forums, I came up with an answer for me. It might help with Cubase hopefully. Set the controller for your host (TT Solo, Cubase, etc…) to default. Go to the mapping tab within Superior Drummer. Go to the bottom and select presets, Midi, note mapping, and finally select E drums. When you go back to the hi-hat articulations, you will see only the bottom five (closed pedal – hatsctrl) are set. The others are left not set. The various trigger articulations go through one note, CC4, from the hi-hat control on the DTXtreme module. Go to presets, midi, and finally pedal correction if the hi-hats don’t respond quite like you would like.
I’ve also read you should turn off local control from the midi utility on the DTXtreme module. Didn’t seem to make a difference for me but it might help you avoid some issues.
Hope this helps.
Thanks bizrock99
Thats exactly what I was wanting to know. I’ll try it tonight and let you know how I go.
Cheers.
Hi bizrock99
I didn’t mees with the host controller but did do the Mapping Tab operations as you described and got very good results. I don’t have bell on the hats but I’m sure that with some twigging, I can asign all that with the Learn function.
Thanks very much bizrock99.
