- The pinouts of the button and USB connectors shown in the pictures of sections 2 and 3 are reversed from the pinouts in the main schematic. For instance, the button board connector P8 in the main schematic shows ground as pin 1, but the picture in section 3 shows ground as pin 4. This caused me some confusion when wiring things up because I kept referring to the main schematic. It would be very helpful if the user manual had a note somewhere that pointed out that the main schematic connectors are reversed from those shown in sections 2 and 3.
- The picture showing hown to wire the pads is incorrect. The Head/Bow inputs are shown to be connected to the Ring of the jacks and the Rim/Edge inputs are shown to be connected to the Tip of the jacks. It took me a long while to figure out why all the triggers were wrong in MDM. I though it was a problem with the wiring in my DIY triggers. Once I figured that it had to be in my MegaDrum unit, I reviewed my wiring with the pictures in the manual and realized that the picture was incorrect. It took a couple of days to figure this out and to rewire all of my jacks. Edit: I was totally wrong about the pad connectors being wrong. I must have been standing on my head looking at the schematics in a mirror
Sorry for the misinformation.
I'm just trying to be helpful here, not critical. MegaDrum is an amazing project and I have great respect and admiration for Dmitri and the work he has put in as well as those who have contributed to the project.
I'm just getting my feet wet. Hopefully setting up multi-zone pads and positional sensing won't be as difficult as some of the posts make it seem. I've got a mash-up of Yamaha, Roland, Alesis and DIY triggers to deal with
