Missing notes on my Kick Drum

[causticveritas]

I've been trying to get my kick drum dialed in and I'm struggling with this issue. The problem is that occasionally when I kick the kick drum it doesn't seem to fire a note, or it fires at a very low volume. I know I'm hitting it hard enough to register a note. If I kick the kick drum slow and consistent, without hitting anything else, roughly 1 in 10 kicks has this problem. When i play the whole kit, it seems to happen a lot more. Please advise which settings may be able to help with this. Also, please note the kick drum is completely isolated from the rest of the kit, it's also in a crosstalk group by itself, so if i understand correctly it should not be impacted by cross talk suppression.

Sounds like an issue with the kick drum itself. Loose piezo maybe?

I don't think it's a hardware problem with the kick drum, if I swap the MegaDrum for the trigger IO the kick drum works perfectly. Also, this issue exists on other pieces of the kit, but I'm focusing on the kick drum to simplify the request. Hopefully the solution will be the same across the board.

Take a look at the midi log, this will allow you to compare hit with velocity. If they don't match then its a piezo problem.
If they do then post a screen of mdm.

I've been having the same kind of issues. Just like you, happens when the whole set is played. In my case, I think it was/is because of CC messages firing at an insane rate from my hihat hall sensor, which overloaded MD's processor (?).

I've read the documentation and played with the settings extensively and nothing seems to be helping. My kit is unplayable in this state. The issue is happening with my kick, snare, crash cymbal and hi hat... possibly others. It seems to be much worse when I'm playing the kit as a whole. Each piece seems to generate electrical noise that affects the other pieces and makes the problem worse when the kit is played as a whole. I don't know if it's my kit hardware... maybe it is... but it would be pretty surprising considering the kit works fine with the Trigger IO that I'm attempting to replace.
