Hi All I am having some issues with my new Roland TD 15KV set and SD 2.3. i am not a great drummer and this is my first ekit ever. i run SD2 in cubase 7.5 on a new imac and i am connnected via the USB MIDI cabled from the TD module to the computer i am ok with an instrument track with SD2 as the output and all midi inputs as the input the kit plays along fine except for 2 of my toms are triggering the same TOM in SD2, i do not know how to set my floor tom to map to the floor tom in the SD2 kit? is that easy to do? i set SD2 to ROLAND in the midi mapping section i think it was. everything else is mapped fine except my second tom up top and my floor tom map to to the same tom in SD2 and i would like to set my floor tom to the floor tom in SD2 for a different sound also and this isnt from SD2 but my hi hat is not real smooth. when i try and play it closed tight and then try to smoothly half open it the chain and slider part are slow to react almost sticky like? i have tried to adjust it but i dont know what to do, if i take the hi hat cymbal thing off the pedal and pole are fast and smooth, as soon as i tighten the cymbal thing back onto the pole the pedal and cymbal etc dont react very quickly or well just wondering if anyone has experience with the TD 11 i think it is i have so, thanks for any help. i have watched the Groove 3 SD 2 training videos but i dont see anywhere to map drums to drums on the kit? which i thought setting the mapping to ROLAND would do automatically but i am only 1 drum off but if i use any other kits i am afraid alot wont map and if i know how to quickly map myself i will be ok in any kit i choose love SD2 i have allaire, New York 2 and 3, music city and the new rock n roll one i think it is would love to learn how to use the program and kit together really well sorry this is so long but i have checked the manual, groove 3 training, and tried some youtube stuff thanks!
HI mate i have found it can be slow to get answers here so keep checking back and keep googling with regards to your toms what i do is right click the tom in the construct window so that it is blue, the go to the bottom right hand corner to the instrument panel, the instrument listed should be the tom highlighted in blue, then click the learn button so that there is a green light, then hit the pad that you want to be that tom and that should be it. There is a way that you can save this so you dont have to go through this process each time you load your kit, but i haven’t learnt this yet. Depending on which kit will determine which toms are which. Another thing i noticed is that sometimes a kit loads and all you need to do is click the dropdown arrow on the particular tom and change the size e.g 12″ to 14″ As for your hi-hat i’m not sure but the first thing i would do is go back to your TD module and manual and read the section on the hi hat setting and reset the offset . Then go to mapping page in SD and click on presets>nodes> and choose a setting closed no curve etc and find one that suits you hope this helps just keep plugging away, i got so pissed with it that i left it for ages before i started to play with it again
