I ended up tweaking sensitivity for all pads and cymbals.Ģ) Per Roland, this info may be useful to you: It's not perfect, but it's pretty close to it.ġ) Watch this video, as it will give some basics about setting up the Roland module correctly: I had been going back and forth with Roland and Toontrack, and I finally have results that are pretty realistic. I'm just not convinced it's capable of triggering these sounds like a real hi-hat setup. I'm not sure if the speed or velocity of pressing the hi-hat pedal quickly is what triggers it in the TD-50, but that never seems to translate to a VST, and SD3 is no exception. I've wondered how these VSTs handle triggering that articulation, or if it's even possible. When I do it using the TD-50, the response is there (and reasonably accurate).

Foot chicks seem to work as expected (with variation in consistency, of course), but if I quickly depress the hi-hat pedal a few times, it doesn't seem to trigger an open pedal sound that sounds anything like what's built into the TD-50. I'm just not sure how to trigger it accurately. The kit I'm currently using in SD3 actually has the foot splash (open splash) articulation.

Either the articulations are not available, or there's no way to trigger it the same way the TD-50 does. I feel like SD3 (or any other VST drum instrument I've worked with) never seems to execute what happens with a foot splash properly. Changing the openness of the hi-hats seems to work as expected, and I've got that adjusted to a point where it feels natural.
