Roland TD27

[Den Dennie]

All setup correctly and connected to midi device TD27  but the volume I get from the kit is extremely low.

big difference to when I click on an instrument in the Superior drummer 3 screen.

Can the midi volume be increased somewhere of did I do something wrong?

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.3.7
Operating system: macOS Sequoia (15)

When you click on it, it triggers a full velocity 127. The first thing you should be doing is setting up the triggers on the td27 so they send 127 on a hard hit. The td27 is very forgiving with it’s internal sounds but sd3 will play with full dynamics. Also make sure you have set the usb volume correctly on the td27 as you can turn up the return.

SD3 with older sdx,s plus Rooms of Hansa and Death & Darkness. Cubase and wavelab current versions. Roland TD50x using all trigger inputs for triggering SD3 only. Windows 11 computer. Various keyboards and outboard gear as well as VST instruments. Acoustic drums: Yamaha 9000 natural wood and Pearl masters. Various snare drums. RME BabyFace Pro FS and Adam A7X monitors

First off when you click on a kit piece in SD3 it plays at full velocity. So barring you running SD3 at a low audio level I’d say to hit harder and make adjustments to the velocity curve in the TD27. What are you running the audio through – your computer’s audio interface? Are you playing in standalone or in a daw?

I had this problem and then realized i was using my high impedance headphones. So just throwing that out there if you own a pair of high ohms headphones.

I’ve had that problem way back when with AKG K270 cans – they needed a LOT of power to drive them. Sounded great and they had 2 drivers on each ear cup. Killer low end.

Increase the Audio USB gain setting in the TD-27
