A friend of mine recently gave me a DM5 w/ some random drums, pads, etc. I can't for the life of me get the hi-hat footswitch to work, and I was just wondering if anyone had some suggestions, maybe I'm overlooking something obvious.
The footswitch he gave me is a Roland FD-7, which I have plugged into the footswitch jack on the DM5. I have the footswitch set in the DM5 to the hi-hat setting, but it doesn't work for scrolling through the kits either. If I unplug the cable from either the footswitch or the DM5, it makes the closing hi-hat sound once as I unplug the cable (weird?).
Things I have tried:
- Did a full reset on the DM5 back to factory settings, so it doesn't appear that the problem is with a setting on the unit.
- I have tried multiple cables.
- I plugged the footswitch into my keyboard's footswitch jack, and it works fine as a sustain pedal, so I believe the footswitch itself is working fine.
Help please!
