D#4 ??

[ddropski]

I did read that ( kinda hard to understand the tech jargon lol ) but I did have it un checked and set low to 20 and still every hit was full once I once I changed anything with the gain (such as lowering it )


it acts like this very sensitive and hot,,no dynamics I even had the option to lower all pad gains and thats with all the gain set to 0

its the weekend and ill have more time to play with it after I get home

im using pintech heads and triggers I was told they do not require the pots ....

[dmitri]

Why are you setting HighLevel low? You have to set it higher!

[ddropski]

lol that might be the reason why then thanks I thought the lvl sets the highest point the drum will sound .. ( honestly I didn't understand the manual) im kinda a simple non techie kinda guy who loves to drum

I did master the td9 though I could set that pretty easy .. this is much harder
thanks

I thought I remember you saying you were using the pintech drums as well .. can you possably upload your config so I have a good starting point?

thanks dmitri

[dmitri]

I don't have any specific config for Pintech. Regarding velocity, you can just raise HighLevel until you get the desired dynamic range.

[ddropski]

yep that deffinatly was what was wrong.. all is starting to go good cept 1 of my toms (tom 3) when I hit the head it shows as 3rd zone hit in md


any idea why that might be ( its only a 2 trigger head/rim combo )

I have it pluged into top row 9th port

Take a screenshot of MIDI Log when you hit the tom and the screenshot of the settings of this tom.

[ddropski]

ok here is the logs not sure what you wanted so I sent you both views ( raw and visual) you will notice that it is set to single piezo it does it even it I switch it to dual or 3 way

which leads me to another question ... how is it I still get head and rim when selected to single piezo anyways ... lol

thanks so far I have all the toms snare and kick configured ... hopfully the cymbals will go as easily

[dmitri]

You took settings screenshot of a wrong pad. The log shows hits with notes 41 and 42 but the pad settings show notes 38 and 37.

[ddropski]

I just had a realization that im doing doing this whole thing wrong.... ( DOH!! )

let me ask you this if I wanted to put a cymbal in input 8 CrashB/9 Crash E (which is stock ) .. where do I physically put it how do I know what port your referring to 8/9 ? I think this is the biggest problem im logically assigning the port but putting the drums physically in the wrong ports (1 drum cant take up 2 ports 8/9 )

another example snare in mega manager says 4/5 but looking at this picture port 4 is the snare but 5 is the ride

[airflamesred]

OK
Where you, physically, put the jack into the snare socket, that socket is wired for a dual zone pad. So the pad itself will have a head piezo (4 Snare H as shown on your MDM screen) and either a piezo or switch on the rim (5 Snare R as shown on your MDM screen)

Now, the first screen (1 Kick) is only a mono input because that is all it needs to be.

If you use MDM as a guide (1 kick, 2 hi hat, 3 snare etc) I think this matches up the rear panel markings.

I hope this makes things clearer.

The reason it might seem complicated is because MD is very versatile and can be wired many different ways.
