Well, although it appeared to be correct, my problem was simply that the midi cable in and out was reversed.

Works like a charm. . .except for the fact it looks like the DD-65’s hi-hat pedal doesn’t send a signal to where I can use the hi-hat pad both opened and closed. . .

It seems to be just another of the basic features or advanced features Roland has eliminated in this module. Dumb it Down for Dumb Drummers seems to be the goal with this one. From the beginning we noticed simple features purposely removed like being able to assign any instrument to any zone. Not allowed! Maybe DD-25 would be a better model number for this module.

Open an instance of ESX24 and click the ‘Edit’ button next to the patch names. Then – drag and drop your samples onto the keys. You can highlight multiple samples and drag them at once to map them across several keys. Make sure you tick ‘one shot’ unless you want your sample to cut off when you release the key!

SD3’s Tracker is a killer feature that turns close-mic’d drum audio files into sample-accurate triggered MIDI. It DOES NOT work in real time. In order to get your drum sounds from your DAW into Tracker (which resides in your DAW as a tab in SD3), you must first export the files first, and then either re-import them with the Add button, or drag them into Tracker from your desktop.

It’s important that your files start at the beginning of the session so they will align with the song when you import them to Tracker. So before you export or bounce the drum files, be sure to consolidate them so they start right from zero – this will keep your parts in sync with the rest of the session. You can almost think of Tracker as being a DAW within a DAW, in the sense that you can have them synced (via the Follow Host button at the bottom) or you can run it entirely independently. But when it comes time to drop the MIDI files you’ve created into your host DAW, if you didn’t line them up to begin with, you’ll have to re-align them.
