Millenium MPS400 & Megadrum, how to???

[drumdhiver]

Hi all,

I bought 4 MPS400, and I've big problems to configure it in Megadrum : I can only set it like simple piezo, I don't succeed to make second zone work! I try to set Yamaha 2 or 3 way and roland cymbal setting, with piezo or switch for second zone, It doesn't work... (I try to invert connection on a stereo wire too)

Could you help me please?

Hi!

I have à MPS 400 configured...Should not be any big problems.

You can download My settings on http://powerhell.wordpress.com/about/zo ... d-library/

Hi angr77,

Thank for reply, I will try it soon. Just a question, I have a 32 Input M. and I used a standard stereo jack and I don't understand why when I set Yam's or roland, I don't get two bar signals on megadrum's vu meter... I've only a sinals bar on the bottom line... (the top line correspond to the pieso)

??!

I have just connected the stereo input between the MD to the MPS. (you should set it to dual or 3 way Yamaha and switch for the edge) my settings reflect these config.

I would guess that the threshold for the switch is set too high...if the upper bar is showing zero when hitting the edge.

Hi,

I try your config, it seems to be "chineese" cymbal... It don't work.

[angr77]

That's only the name...you can use what ever...

[drumdhiver]

OK,

I'm using addictive drums

In any case, If I hit mps400 on the top or on the edge, if I grab it, I've only the signal of the piezo : W H Y ? ? ?

If I set Yamaha 2 or 3way (switch for rim/edge), I have green & grey bar on the log notes of megadrumMANAGER. iN ADDICTIVE DRUMS, it's recognize like a simultaneous hit&shoke. Variations of treshold don't change anything.

If I set roland (switch for rim/edge), I have only piezo signal...

[angr77]

Forget about the Roland selection.

You should use DUAL or 3 way Yamaha...(note: dual has nothing todo with 3 way Yamaha)

We are going for dual! and the rim/edge channel for switch.

use my settings...should work fine...using AD. works fine on my system.

be sure that you are really using a stereo tele cable...three zones on the connector...

Hi Angr77,
I try the wires gave in the mps,s box, or my own wires... connector stereo standart with ground, ring and tip. I don't know what is a stereo "tele" cable

[angr77]

Sorry, I meant a cable with tip, ring and ground. Sometimes when there are problems reported...the error has been a mono cable.

I still believe that my configuration in the syx file should work directly out of the box...so it sounds strange.

There is a parameter on MD that you could try... can't be done in MDM.

Set All EdgeSw>
< No >
Use this screen to automatically set Threshold on all inputs which are configured as 'Switch' type for all 2 and 3 zone pads/cymbals. Press UP/DOWN to change it to Yes, then press RIGHT and it will then show 'Working'. Now hit a few times edge zones of all piezo/switch and piezo/switch/switch pads/Cymbals.

Does it work better now?
