(don't forget that there may be a volume setting in your module's onboard sequencer, which I believe will relate to MIDI output. I'd say look for ALL volume settings in your module and adjust them while noting any difference in output from your DAW.

There is also the possibility that your module or DAW has a MIDI Volume setting that is set low. and then everything in between).Īfter that, then I recommend you fine tune response using Superior 2.0 Velocity Controls I recommend creating a new Trigger Bank in your module if supported, and without really listening to sounds, set the Sensitivity and response curves for each pad (So that when you hit hard, the meter in your module goes to "Peak", and when you hit soft, it registers minimally. If you click on the velocity sensitive Preview Pad in S2.0 to listen to an S2.0 instrument, and you like the sound and range of volumes there, but you just aren't getting it to play that way when you hit your drums, then setup your triggers for a nice linear velocity response. If your module is not putting out high velocity values when you hit the drum hard, that is the first thing you want to address. In either case, this was a bit disappointing that this much tweaking had to go into getting S2.0 to work and I hope Toontrack has noted this somehow for future updates. The originators of multi sampled drums and Drumkit From Hell, Toontrack, Music presents an all-new SDX expansion pack for Superior Drummer 2.0 - The Metal Foundry SDX. Here's what they have to say about it in their press release. I haven't yet tried any of the templates, but will. Toontrack Music has announced The Metal Foundry SDX, an all-new SDX expansion pack for Superior Drummer 2.0. I'm sure that could be adjusted as well, but I prefer to play my vdrums. Avoid mouse clicking the "drums" on your computer or if you have finger pads on a MIDI keyboard because the sensitivity there will blow your speakers. This is how I got what I consider unity gain when playing along with iTunes. Since I am still messing around with S2.0 in Solo, you can further tweak in the mixer or right click on the suspect pad and adjust that fader in the Instrument section down in the lower right hand corder. I noticed on some pads that at some level it doesn't appear to increase (law of diminishing returns?). You will see a setting called Sensitivity.increase it on each of your pads until you start to get the volume you are looking for. Hit that Trigger button on the module then select F2/Basic. I'm sure some of the progressive metal grooves that I have will be better for some things, but playing them myself is also giving me more of an idea of what I would need to do to edit the loops for more interesting and varied fills."I can hear the drums, but they are really quiet."Ok, so I am not the only one. I may not be a great drummer, but it is a helluva a lot more fun to play your own drums than it is to do things the way I used to. More recently I have been triggering the SD3 kits with my Roland TD25. I have also used it as a writing tool by just auditioning various MIDI loops and putting them into a song format and then jamming with the song until I come up with a few ideas on what I want to play with them. I used to use the Tap-to-find feature to find grooves that fit a pattern I was looking for and it can really save you some time when you have a basic rhythmic idea. I think my task for today will be to check out the Death presets and waste the day on that. Darkness has a lot of good starting points and I have already added my own tweaks to a couple of different variations. I just picked up the Death and Darkness SDX and I haven't even gotten around to checking out any of the Death presets yet. (the first electronic one for when I want electronic drums, for example.) I've heard a lot of 'metal' guys say they actually prefer it to metal foundry so. I'm not very good at mixing drums but with prog foundry you can get it to sound like a metal kit or an old vintage, progy, rush/zep kinda sound and just about anything in between. I have a few that cover my needs, as well as a couple of EZ Drummer packs that fit in now and then. I use progressive foundry and feel like it's super versatile.
