There is one confusing thing about what is part of the mixer preset and what
is not. The Bleed Enable, Level and Phase controls for individual instruments
that sit on the right hand side of the mixer are not part of the mixer state.
Those are properties of the instruments. Maybe that explains your pronlem?

You have to decide whether you want this mapping to be a change to how
that drum kit preset reacts to MIDI or how the incomming MIDI from
your e-kit is interpreted. In the first case you make the change in the
the MIDI property box of the drums and in the second case you go into
the E-drum settings tab and change the mapping there.

I think the flam articulation of the snare drum in SD3 Core lib is turned off by default,
resulting in incomming MIDI reaching the Center articulation instead.

I should hope so. At least that is the intended behaviour.

You are right. It seems that the delimiter handle for the Closed/Tight
transition is set to 100 instead of 90 or 89. That won’t suit you.
I have not been involved in the E-drums tab so I don’t really know
how one would conveniently adjust those handles. Grabbing the
lowest one and bringing it up does not move the others so
I guess you have to move them all one by one. Well, at least
the lowest 4.

Just do the same thing in SD3 as you do in SD2 and it will work the same.

There are such factory presets for some SDXs. That hasn’t changed
in SD3. What has changed is that you can no longer save a selection
of drums as a preset yourself. You have to save a complete preset
and then you can choose to only load the toms from it.

Possibly. We have had other users ask for that. However, our intention
is that most changes to the MIDI mapping should be done in the
“MIDI in/E-drums” tab, in the settings. There you can save and recall
the total mapping.

You can save a full preset and then choose to only load the mixer part.

John, is right. The best we have to offer here is that you can
drag a guitar track into SD3 and make an X-drum out of it.
Then you, or the song track, can hit that X-drum and the guitar
track will play. Not a very convenient way to record an e-drum
track.

Ah yes, the old compression trick or, rather, the trick compression pulls on you.
It is a very common reason when people question the velocity response.
I should have remembered that.

Yes, you can MIDI-learn them directly by right clicking a slider or you can
go via a Macro knob. The Macro knobs can be automated directly by most
hosts.

The presets contain the macro state. So, if you want to keep your
current macros while loading a preset, you need to to use the
“Select Parts” and uncheck the “Load Macro Controls”.
Then you can save the preset with these new macros
if you like or just use them temporarily.
