Constant Midi Stream

Postby sbonasuk » Tue Jul 10, 2012 9:36 pm

After two three weeks of working switched on, MIDI light stays on, constant midi stream and note 127 plays and plays and I cannot switch it off, there are no shorts not changed anything, any ideas anyone, looked through the forum as best as I can but not knowing what to search for limits it a bit. What I have found says check for shorts.

Thanks

By default none of the notes in MegaDrum are set configured to number 127. Find which note you changed from default to 127 and you will find where the problem is.

Wrong number not note 127 on the Midi Log the bars are total yellow with the number 127 in the mmiddle, the numbers on the bottom range from 26 through to 63, the LED remains lit and the LCD remains on the primary info screen then MM crashes and has to be stopped from task manager.

Hi Sbonasuk,

are that C1 and C11 which are connected from VCC to GND?
I would say they are to stabilize/smoothen the Power supply.

They are. They are properly called "decoupling" capacitors.
