I do it every day. The drums are in another room.
I run a stereo output from the studio into the external input of the Roland ‘brain’ and a MIDI cable to the drum room.
On the drum kit, I’ve added 3 home made triggers, which I use for ‘Start’, ‘Go To Locator’ and ‘Record’. You could also use drum pads too, I guess.
I then use Generic Remote. I assign the 3 triggers to the functions I just mentioned in Cubase.
The drums then trigger Superior Drummer.
Works fine. I just turn down the internal Roland sounds and listen to Cubase through the headphones.
Lately, I’ve also been using Cubase iCPro, which now seems to work reliably for me with the latest version.
