Roland TR-8: aka “the Beast”, and the Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit, aka “Nitro.”
Problem: sparodic triggering of the Beast by the Nitro electric drum kit.
Direct inject,5 pin MIDI I/o connection cables. Playing a constant four on the floor pattern yields a trigger every 4 to 5 hits. I’ve reset both units to factory defaults. Checked the soft weak strong settings on the Beast, as well as threshold, velocity curves on the Nitro. Still the same results.
Although, when I connect the Nitro to my Yamaha Motif rack : no problem at all everybody’s’ home and sounding off.
Also connected my Samson Graphite 49 to the “Beast “ and no problem triggering all the sounds on the TR-8 unit. Any ideas?
Thanks
