MegaDrum - noise signal.

[i-nep]

Just got the powered USB hub. Result is the same.

Will try to connect via regular MIDI interface using external sound card.

Please confirm this:
1. You start MegaDrum with default settings (AutoLoadConf set to No). No noise so far.
2. No cables are connected to MegaDrum at all(not even empty cables). No noise so far.
3. You start MDM and MegaDrum starts generating noise.

Is the above correct?

Dmitri,

Sorry, was far from the module.

1. Correct
2. Correct
3. Incorrect. It doesn't generate any noise unless I connect the cable to any input. If I connect the pad cable the noise appear right away.

Btw, can't verify with an external sound card, for some reason it doesn't work. With the previous module result is the same, so not sure on what side the problem is. Will dig more here.

Do you connect an empty cable? It will act as an areal picking up electromagnetic noise.

[i-nep]

I connect a cable whether with pad or not, doesn't change anything.

[dmitri]

Ok, I'll try again. Please confirm this:
1. You start MegaDrum with default settings (AutoLoadConf set to No). No noise so far (MIDI led is not blinking).
2. You connect a dual zone piezo/piezo pad to MegaDrum with a stereo cable. No noise so far (MIDI led is not blinking).
3. You start MDM and MegaDrum starts generating noise.

[i-nep]

Dmitri, absolutely correct.

And if I quit the MegaDrumManager, the noise disappear.

[dmitri]

So the noise starts right after you run MDM without even clicking 'Open MIDI'?

[i-nep]

It starts when I see this message:


Just to point out, on Windows machine it starts flooding right after I connect the module via USB, hence I don't think it somehow related to the MDM.

[dmitri]

You confuse me more and more:
You say that noise starts after you start MDM:

It starts when I see this message:

And then you say that 'it starts flooding right after I connect the module via USB':

Just to point out, on Windows machine it starts flooding right after I connect the module via USB, hence I don't think it somehow related to the MDM.

These contradict each other. Let's try again:

1. The module is off. No noise.
2. You start MegaDrum with default settings (AutoLoadConf set to No) and nothing connected. No noise so far (MIDI led is not blinking).
3. You connect just one dual zone piezo/piezo pad to MegaDrum with a stereo cable. It starts to produce the noise and the MIDI led starts blinking.
