XM Drum and SD2 Trigger Problem

[dkeenes]

Hello

If anyone can give me advice on how to fix this problem ill buy them a carton of beer 🙂

I have just recently bought an XM-Drum Custom 8SR kit. Out of excitement I straight away connected it via midi to my Presonus module and ran SD2.3 (Metal Foundry). I found that when I hit any pad/cymbal it triggers off multiple hits. for eg. hit the snare and snare/tom and a cymbal triggers off in SD2. I have played around with sensitivity and volume levels and everything else i can possibly click on and still the same result.

I have chosen E-drum preset in MIDI as well and still the same thing. I though it may have been my kit , so I ran Steve Slate 3 and works fine. Even if i record with Steve Slate then run SD2 over the top of the midi hits it works fine. I would prefer to use SD2 in the recording process as it sounds 10000 times better.

Any advice you can give me would be great.

Thanks
Dallas

Hi,

it does sound strange but you seem to have an unsupported setup; XP SP3 and Cubase 4 are minimum requirements for Superior 2.3.
This may have something to do with it but it’s hard to tell, as you might understand.

BR,
John

Thanks John

Im borrowing a friends Roland brain this weekend. Ill see if that helps. If not I suppose there is no harm in just recording with Steve Slate then putting Superior over it later.

Cheers
