MacBook Air M1, Simmons SD600, Ableton live 11 & SSD5 (Steve Slate Drums)

Post by jamzz94549 » Sun Jul 04, 2021 11:11 pm

Hello,
I’m having an issue with using SSD5 through ableton live 11. I have a Simmons SD600 kit. After installing SSD5 and Ableton on my MacBook, everything was working fine. I didn’t play for a couple weeks and now It’s not working like before. Im still getting sound/signal from my drum kit when hitting pads, but the output is greatly diminished and the sounds from drums are all the same no matter what different kit I select in SSD5. Even when I select rimshot, nothing changes. When I would hit the snare or any other pad it had the same sound, output and level of that pad as when I would use the mouse to hit the same pad. I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong or forgot but I can’t figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Happy 4th of July! :D

So, I actually figured this issue out through trial and error. It was the Velocity and Main Volume for each drum/cymbal were only at 50% of normal sound...when I increased each it seemed to take care of problem but need to save the kit when editing each drum/cymbal.
