triggering in logic

[beatzbounce321]

I have a megadrum built for me with 17 inputs in the back. I have four tom pads in the last four aux inputs of my mega drum and they continually act as one single trigger. In other words, all of my samplers in logic (EXS 24, NI Battery) are reading these four pads as a single pad and each of the four always trigger the same sound with the same configuration. The other inputs are being used so I need to figure out how to individualize these last four pads.

Any thoughts?

Have you tried changing the note values assigned to those trigger inputs?

2nd item down... obviously you'd need to scroll through until you reach the AUX input you are working with.

If they are all set to the same MIDI note (which is how the default configuration is) you'll get the same sound from each one.

Yes, I tried that. It didn't help. Any other ideas?

So each of your AUX inputs has a different note set and you've configured sampler to map a different kit piece to each one of those notes and yet you're still getting the same "sound" out the sampler for every AUX input? That would be quite odd.

If you're convinced you've configured MegaDrum correctly with different MIDI notes for each AUX input, I would start looking at your sampler configuration and making sure the MIDI note to sample/kit piece mapping is correct.

It's also possible that you've got some kind of cross talk issue where your pads are all mounted on a common rack and one pad simply has ultra sensitive settings and when you hit another pad, the shaking of the rack is causing the ultra-sensitively configured pad to register as the "hit" instead of the pad you're actually hitting. This is somewhat unlikely but I'd consider it if your notes and kit piece mapping is 100% correct.
