I did notice more recently that simultaneous hits of certain combos of triggers would cancel one out. The hihat would cancel the snare and more recently, the bass drum would be canceled by the snare. I moved a couple inputs around and it fixed both the trigger cancellation and the xstick choke. I ha...

Thank you for the detailed guide! I'll dive in and troubleshoot when I get the chance.

A quick fix for now is setting the side stick sound to a snare edge sound. The snare edge sound does not mute the sustain of the snare when triggered which leads me to believe that it may be a problem on the side of superior drummer.

I am using SD3 and when I do a rimshot, the xstick is triggered which isn't too bad, but it mutes the sustain of the snare. I have the xstick dial at zero, thinking it would help in some way but no dice. Please help.
