DM Lite MIDI Hi-Hat Problems

(1/8) > >>

topmonkey:
I am trying to get my DM Lite talking to my computer via MIDI using a USB connection. On the PC side of things I am using Cakewalk Sonar X1.
My problem is when I hit the hi-hat pad on the DM Lite, it transmits a hi-hat open message, whether the pedal is up or down. I can't get it to transmit a hi-hat closed message at all.
Is this a DM Lite problem or a Sonar problem? And is there anything I can do about it?

Thanks,
Mike.

Trondster:
Try listening for CC#4 for HH position.

According to the manual the DM lite should send MIDI note #46 for open and #44 for closed.

Receiving #46 for open and #46+cc#4 for hi-hat.
How can I fix this?

Trondster:
Either see if there is any setting for the Dm Lite you can change, or see if your VST software can read CC#4 for hi hat messages.

topmonkey:
Not possible to change any settings on the DM Lite as far as I am aware and there's nothing in the manual.
I downloaded a demo of Addictive Drums and it managed to decode the CC#4 messages into correct hi-hat notes so maybe I will have to buy new software!
