Please help with sample volumes

[Mark Juliano]

Hey guys, how come when I trigger floor tom 2 from my e kit pad it sounds quieter and with less presence than when i click the tom in the gui? its really irritating. I am running mono out to a pa speaker from the 2box module. I have to set all pans to the left in the sd2 mixer to get the loudest volumes for each drum but the floor tom is missing its low end and balls and needs to be louder. Could the midi note mapping have anything to do with this? I guess I could try another note int he 2box module. I set sd2 to learn each pad hit so you would think it would be optimized for best soundperformance. Any ideas or help on this?

Have you tried to change velocity curve for tom 2? You can set the curve so that you don’t have to hit your e-drum that hard to produce a loud hit from Superior Drummer 2.¨
Drag the right handle left (as shown in screenshot, right lower corner). It’s found in the Mapping tab (on the top of the screenshot, also marked in a red ring).

Thanks so much man I did think about that but I don’t want to change the dynamicscurve I want to keep it as default as possible just louder volume. Its a tricky one.

i fixed the volume of the low floor tom or floor toms both had the same issue just floor tom 2 was worse. it was the default stereo panning in sd2. i run line/mono out to a loud speaker so all my channel pans had to be set all the way to the left to get the most volume out of the speaker.
