I have built MegaDrum and...

[gyro]

Everything of the hardware works, yippee! Megadrum is recognized by Windows as usb audio device. I now use SaviHost + MyDrumsetRocks to do a qiuck test (maybe later on I will use other soft, this one is just for testing purposes) but I can't select a midi input. I don't know if I better put this question here or in the software part. I guess I'm missing something here. Can someone help me out please ?

My wild guess is that we won't see concise reasons from whoever voted for 'I should have not built it, total loss of time/money.'
Too bad, could have saved others from loosing time/money.

I can't vote for any of these options yet because I haven't spent enough time with my kit and MegaDrum with a strong enough level of understanding for what each precise option does and what strategies to use to nail down my pad and cymbal responses. I've been doing a lot of reading and I'm definitely understanding the terminology and purpose of the various settings better now but I haven't found the "sweet spot" yet.

I'm certainly hoping MegaDrum will live up to my expectations... I've already worked through a couple basic problems, which is positive.

First of all, read everything on http://www.megadrum.info/content/megadrum-configuration
After that, if you have any problems raise the question in the forum in a separate topic with detailed description of a problem.

I've already read through that page a few times, no doubt I'll be reading through it again.

You can see results without voting. I've deleted your vote. Vote again once you've built MegaDrum

This is one of the best personal projects I've ever tried. I built the 32 channel trigger and it works great with Yamaha pads, and the homemade one I built using the information from Hellfiredrums. Thanks for putting this information out there. My first set is going to be used by our church's youth group. I plan on building a second set for my own music room (once my kids move out).
