DM8 Usb Kick Drum Issue
« on: April 28, 2012, 08:30:27 AM »
Hey there just bought the Alesis DM8 and am having some issues with the kick pad, mainly its not working, when ever I strike the pad with pedal it doesnt trigger a sound, I think its a wiring issue as i've plugged one of the tom leads into it and used the bass pad to trigger the tom however the bass drum wont trigger at all, is there anything I can do or is it a case of replacing the cable snake for the whole kit?

1st thing is try a full reset on the brain.  ensure the kick channel is setup in brain correctly

Also plug the snake in and out a couple times to make sure its getting good contact.  If no joy it could be the brain or  cable snake, leaning toward snake.
