EAD10 BD Trigger

I recently acquired a used EAD10. The BD trigger is not generating a good signal. With normal playing of the BD there is no trigger signal. I can get a weak signal if I slam on the BD. The rest of the unit seems to be working great. Suggestions on trouble shooting steps? Ways to check if the trigger...

Yamaha Custom Recording

I have a 1980’s set of Yamaha Custom Recording Drums (12/13/16/22). I made a discovery tonight that I could use your help with. I was trying out a few different tom head possibilities (EC2 and Pinstripe). I have been quite frustrated by this kit, because the 12 and 13 toms did not sing the way I thi...

Using MODX to record and play midi with Logic

What is the correct way to set up MODX and Logic so I can record and play back sounds on the MODX? My setup is as follows: MODX/Focusrite Audio Interface/Macbook Pro Studio monitors connected to the main L/R outputs of the Focusrite. Using the utility/quick setup/(Midi rec on DAW), I can successfull...

Re: Setting levels and recording MODX audio into Logic

Ivan, thanks for the reply. I was wondering if it is normal for the signal to be showing no clipping on the
audio interface, but clipping within Logic?

Controlling MODX7 with a Controller

I am trying to use a Kurzweil PC88 controller with MODX7. I have the two boards connected directly with a midi cable. It generally works, but the MODX7 does not respond consistently to every key press on the PC88. For example, if I am using a piano patch on the MODX7, playing middle C several times ...

Re: MODX7 keys

Thanks for the report on your experience with the MODX7. How are you using the synth? Home recording? Gigging? Has the noise interfered or caused problems?

Re: Time signatures (not 4/4)

Keith, I don't know the answer to your time signature question (I bet someone in the forum will), but I was concerned to hear that you returned your MODX7 for some "clacky keys". Was it this way straight out of the box? How many keys? What did it sound/feel like? I'm aware of the issues th...

Re: MOXF arps on MODX?

I don't know the answer to your question about MOXF arps, but I am wondering if you could describe the
"noisy key syndrome" that you encountered on your first MODX8? I'm very familiar with the various post about this.
What exactly was your first board doing?

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. I have a working midi cable connecting an M Audio controller (midi out) to the MODX (midi in). The midi channel of the controller is set to 1. I am testing playing a performance on the MODX that has a single part. If I understand the MODX correctly, part 1 should receive on M...

I would like to try triggering the internal sounds of the MODX8 with an external midi keyboard controller. Could folks help me figure out how to do this?
