Program Changes

Hey Everyone,

I am new to the MegaDrum, but have been looking through the forums for help. I thought I should post and see what I am missing. First I should mention that I am using it with the Yamaha DTX 900 pads. When I hit a trigger it sends a program change. I have confirmed this with a MIDI monitor. I have gone through the pad settings and all looks to be set to "Function - Normal"

My next attempt was to update the firmware. The Mega Drum is currently set to 20120911 20MHZ. I saw on the forum that I needed to download megadrum_20130210.zip but cannot find a download link anywhere. If I could the that zip I should be able to update. (I should mention I am using a Mac) I have a feeling that the download is sitting there staring me in the eyes, but I have not seen it.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary

I knew I would feel dumb.... I saw the post and was not signed in at first, so the link was not there.

Update: I was able to update the firmware to the system. I had to do this on a Windows system for it to work since my Mac was not cooperating. Seems to have fixed the problem with sending program changes instead of notes. I am still confused why this happened in the first place :?:

Thanks for the help!

Let's start with one pad. What type of pad is this and what are the settings on it?
