The King is dead. Long live the King!

Sorry guys, MegaDrum has been in development for too long and, I must admit, I used a very outdated algorithm (which I bought from Roland and signed an NDA with them) and it is not performing to everyone's moderate/high expectations, so I recommend you all ask Marctwo for schematics and any new firmware - read on this thread

Again, I'm very sorry I let you all down:(

P.S. Just to be clear - this whole thread is a joke:)

Megadrum is the top of the top !!

Sorry, I've obviously upset you. That wasn't my intention.

[Goldie]

Yeah, take it easy guys.

No, you didn't:) How can progress upset anyone! And we all expect schematics and new firmware from you - all we want to do is drumming. If you have a website I'll place a link to it so that everyone knows where to get it.

You're wrong in several ways:
1. Bad algorithm - with MegaDrum's 3ms latency sound can travel almost a meter, with Marctwo's firmware it travels less than 20cm(it's like playing drums right next to your ear).
2. I have deceived people about what MegaDrum can/will do, e.g. I promised 0.5ms latency where it turned out to be mediocre 3-6ms.
3. I've used others algorithms in mine (and even then it turned out to be, shall I say, not very good).
And I can go on and on

I'll just cancel the 1000 boards order I've placed and paid for to a manufacturer in China.. at least I wont loose the 200$ it cost for shipping !

Don't do it! Just ask them to hang on a bit until you update them with correct schematics from Marctwo. You won't loose a penny/cent! Unless they already started the production:(

Hi all, I regularly browse over the posts concerning the wonderful work Dmitri is doing with Megadrum, it's all basically very constructive topics and viewpoints - but just a word about my experience with latency, having both owned and used just about every trigger device and module that has ever been built from Akai through to Roland I can truthfully say that Megadrum is up there with the best. It seems most often the case that latency is, for want of a better expression - a Win**** problem, using almost any other set up with Megadrum results in basically zilch latency. I am using a 32 Megadrum through a Muse Receptor - apart from configuring here and there ( my own inabilities...) its working perfectly - the only latency perceived is the speed of the sound from speaker cone to my ear....
My tip is - if you're using Megadrum with the ubiquitous PC , address the PC internals , soundcard type bus system etc. there is where the weakness lies.

Happy Drumming

Ahhhh.. nahhh.. I've just came up with my own firmware ... its actually better than anything else on the market.. it has -.2 ms ms latency... yes you read right.. minus .2 ms .. it actually anticipates the hit so there is no latency!
