I then calibrated the high hat controller. I thought pushing down on the pedal should open the cymbals but it's the opposite. I'd prefer to reverse that but haven't found a way. I've been told that the way it's configured is common.
That is how a Hi Hat works..acoustic or electronic...pedal up=OPEN..pedal down=CLOSED..
Did a factory reset and then there were several triggers going off. I adjusted some thresholds/sensitivity settings and it quieted down but I ran out of time. This morning I got the USB cable I need, so tonight or this weekend I'll work on the updates. One of my buddies suggested doing each update in the order they were released if possible.
Follow the update procedure in the link provided including looking at the current versions installed.
There is a specific order..all information is in the link.
It looks like I'm going to have to spend more time than I expected on this, the manual isn't that intuitive, for me anyway. But It's good to know I'll eventually become familiar with its operation and it seems I'll get the bugs worked out.
Will the latest update will get me close to where I need to be without spending 10 plus hours of trial and error ?
Very few if any E-Kits are an "out of the box experience". Once you take the time and setup the triggers properly it will benefit you in the long term
especially if you eventually go to using software/Vst..the better you have the module setup the less problems you will have.
When you restored/Re-initialized did you select the proper kit ?..mesh kit settings are different than Mylar.
Here is the
DM10 SETUP GUIDEIf you still have some issues...Do all the pads one by one.
Set the sensitivity as low as possible - the volume meter should hit the maximum only on your strongest hits.
Set the threshold as high as possible set it high, without it interfering on your soft ghost notes.
Then, when you have set the sensitivity, it's time to have a look at the xtalk settings. If a trigger affects many other triggers - raise the xtalk send. If a trigger is affected by many other triggers - raise the xtalk receive. But - avoid settings of 7 (the maximum) and preferably avoid 6 as well. If you have set a low sensitivity and a high threshold, you won't need that high xtalk send/receive values.
If there is xtalk within the pad (rim sounds sound when you hit the head, for example):
Set the threshold for the entire trigger and sensitivity for both zones. It is the combination of the various trigger settings that determine the behaviour. If the pad is problematic - increase the zone xtalk.
