Hello all Meadrum Fans
I am new here and i got my MegaDrum some Days ago.
Can someone help me because i do not get any Midi Note from the Midi Out Plug, in the Display its shown the action from the Pad but in the Midi Monitor from Snoiz on my Computer there are no Midi Note Number and
when i move the Midiplug a little bit with my fingers i see all these Messages.

Are you using the MIDI Out jack, which is the rightmost jack looking from the back of the module?
Where do you connect it to?
What MIDI port did you select in the configuration of the MIDI monitor program you are using?

is your midi cable any good? Good midi cables generally do not change behavior when one "wiggles" them...

Hello all
Thank you for the reply,
i tested several Midi Cables and i used the rightmost Midi Out Jack.
As you can see in my Pdf which i attached it shows that M-Audio Midi in Port B is getting the message but i tried it whith all other Ports also.
I connect the USB to a Hub which is not connected to anything just for getting Power because there is no PowerAdaptor Jack, maybe this makes the problem?

In first place why are you trying to use the standard MIDI port? You can use MegaDrum MIDI over USB. Connect MegaDrum directly to your Mac and configure the MIDI Monitor program to use the USB MegaDrum MIDI.

Hello Dimitri
I use Midi because i want to connect it to the Roland TD20X so i have more Pads to connnet, and the Editor MegaDrumManager.signed.jar did not see the USB but in the Audio-Midi-Setup the USB is shown as MegaDrumUSB Midi so
i tryed it with normal Midi.
Is the normal Midi brocken or the USB Midi

Best Regards to all

So did you try to connect MegaDrum MIDI Out to TD20X MIDI In?

and the Editor MegaDrumManager.signed.jar did not see the USB but in the Audio-Midi-Setup the USB is shown as MegaDrumUSB Midi so
i tryed it with normal Midi.

If I remember right on Mac you first need to change Mac OS X MIDI configuration so that other programs could see a new MIDI device. Can other Mac users enlighten me on this?

Is the normal Midi brocken or the USB Midi

I doubt that either of these is broken. Since I don't have Mac so a cannot tell exactly what you need to do on Mac but if you can test it on Windows I can help you with what you need to do.

Hello Dimitri
I connected it to the TD20x when i was playing the TD gave me the message Overload Errror and then no sound and i had to restart it, and i also used with the SupiriorDrum Plugin over USB which gave all sorts off
strange double trigger with some additional latency, it also shows in the Editor under Firmware Vers. only ?????? .
What can i do?

I'm trying to understand the sentence but I'm failing. Can you describe what you do and what you get with more details. E.g. I don't understand:
which MIDI jack you used in the MegaDrum module
what you were playing
what is "Overload Error"
was there no sound from pads connected to MegaDrum, TD20 or both
what you had to restart

and i also used with the SupiriorDrum Plugin over USB which gave all sorts off
strange double trigger with some additional latency

Did you do any configuration to MegaDrum or you have double triggering with default settings.
Can you give more details on "additional latency"?

it also shows in the Editor under Firmware Vers. only ?????? .

I'm guessing you are talking about MegaDrum Manager. If so, please post the question in viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1504 including more details about how you configured MDM, e.g. a screenshot of Options showing MIDI ports you are using for MDM to communicate to MegaDrum.

In general, you are too brief in describing problems which makes it hard to help you.
I'm trying to establish what is wrong and what is causing it.
At any time, if you are sure the module is broken or faulty, send it back and, if it is indeed broken/faulty, I will send you a replacement.

Hello Dimitri
I try to give you more infos,
I used the Midi out of the MegaDrum Module which is the rightmost looking from behind,
i plugged it to the Midi in of the Roland TD20X DrumSound-Module.
When i started to play with the Pads which are connected to the MegaDrum-Modul it showed signal on the FrontPanel
but TD20X showed a Message Overload Error and no Sound came out of the TD20X so i had to switch off the TD20X and restart the TD20X.
I played not much on a Snare Pad just 5-6 Hits, i also played the other pads in the same manner with the same Results.
Hopefully this description is a little better
