No Signal with ddt Piezo

Postby Zakkwylde » Thu Jun 11, 2015 7:50 pm

Hello
I have a new trigger an easy3 trigger of wronkadrums . It is a ddt Trigger with a C.V.A.M-Sensor.
Unfortunately I get no signal, the Megadrum LED is off when I hit the trigger .
Other triggers work without problems in the same connect. Can it be that there are triggers that do not work on Megadrum ? the cabling is correct but there is no signal on the Megadrum .

If, when you activate the trigger, and the LED on megadrum doesn't light there is a problem with the cable or the trigger. I take it you have set a midi note?

If it is a piezo based trigger I don't see any reason for it not to work with MegaDrum.
I'd suggest you to check that:
1. wiring is ok
2. the trigger itself is not broken

You can check the trigger with an oscilloscope. If you don't have it you can use a software oscilloscope on a PC using it's sound card input. When connected to a sound card with a running software oscilloscope, start with very light hits so that not to damage sound card's input.

@airflamesred
yes a MIDI note I selected.
when I connect another piezo to the cable it works.

@dmitri
I'll try the two points.
And I will test the piezos with an oscilloscope.
