MDM send/get HiHat Pedal Settings - 7x64

[angr77]

Hi!
Coming back to the issues using MDM and post settings to the MD.

I did update my MD with the latest firmware (20120218) this morning - (Seems to be important to open the midi channel first one time to open the relationship with the MD device before closing the Midi channel...and go in to Firmware update menu) ...So far no problems! I did use my 32-bit Windows 7 system - A system with properly power on the USB port which seems to work well. (and where you can read back all settings from MD to the MDM like the hihat settings without any problems)

The MD Device is after a firmware update completely resetted (Factory settings), so you need to post your settings from MDM again. (I have a nice MDS file on my site...) (I am also always manually setting the MD Device to AltEncoders=Yes, Autoload Configuration=Yes, USB 3 etc)

When pushing the button "send all" in MDM...everything seems to be normal. You will see the update bar working on the side of the "Live Updates" button.

Then, if I step in to the MD and recheck on each pad...none of them have not been updated...MD is still showing the factory settings for each pad, for an example like the Highlevel Auto=Checked etc something that I never use in my configuration. It seems like there is only problems with the Pad settings...more generic settings like LCD Contrast, Hihat Levels, Notes are always set in a proper way using the "send all" function.

Am I doing anything wrong in this step? Should I maybe press "Save to Slot 1" after using "send all".

Work Around - The only way to update each PAD is to use the "send" button in the PAD Panel...then after close/open the midi connection and then jump in and recheck the settings on the MD device, that the settings was updated. Sometimes they are...sometimes not...

Good guessings are more than welcome!

Why does Firmware ver: = ???????
Did you first set your midi in/out ports in main->options?

Sorry - I did the screenshots without any MD connected.

[kupooglop]

no md connection = no helpful screenshot.

Does the MIDI Led flash when you press "Send All"

I did the whole config thing again.
1. Updated the firmware - Settings went back to factory settings.
2. Opened the midi channel again

3. Open my config.MDS file...
4. Pressed "Send All" - Yes the activity LED is flashing!

5. After been using "Send All" and rechecking the settings on the MD:
- All generic settings are Ok.
- Hihat Pedals misc + notes + levels = Ok.
- All notes for all pads: Some are updated right, some wrong (Factory settings) - I can't see any consistency.
- All settings for all pads: Not updated.

7. Continued
6. "Send All" in Pads Panel
Doing "send all" or stepping through the pads using "send" in MDM for each pad a couple of times after Open/close Midi channel seems to be working - Then all the PADs are updated.

8. Save the config to "1" on the MD...Happy again!!

now i have bought me a connection plug with emi rfi filter and the random triggers are away. but the hihat pedal settings still dont loading right into mdm.

I am guessing that an external USB power will help out getting the Hihat pedal settings. I my case - it helped.

I have not tested a cable with emi rfi ...hmm...I am also tempted to get a new rack box in metall...to create better EMI protection filter...

do you have teseted a very short usb cable? in my case, it doesnt help... how long is your usb cable in combination with the active usb hub?

[angr77]

Hi!

I am using about 1m from the Pc to the active hub and 1 meter to the MD.

It has not solved all my issues...but reading hihat is possible. Still problems to store data to the MD. I have some discussions with Dmitri about this and a couple of ideas is currently under investigation. There is something strange happening on the usb port.

Best regards
