Good day, sirs!
Having problems with my recently purchased Ion IED01/IDM01 drum machine. First of all, I was a victim of false advertisement cuz the sellers (a webstore selling used items in the Philippines) didn't tell me that the hihat and kick pedals and adaptor was missing. I only found out when I got to their place. However, I brought my own adaptor (9v AC 1000mA) and tested the connections (5 pads with cables, etc) and it eventually worked after a bit of cleaning the slightly corroded 1/8" cable connectors. I went ahead and got the kit but for a much lower price since there were no pedals thinking I could get them later on. When I got home, I set everything up and--with a bit of revising the drums sounds and tweaking the routings here and there--finally managed to make the whole kit sound up. Everything was ok until I got home.
The next time I powered the unit up, the only external pad left "playable" was the ride. The rest of the external pad/pedal inputs had no sound at all! I've tried tweaking the internal routings of the software, reseting the unit, and tested ALL the connections but, unfortunately, found nothing wrong. The battery inside is fine too. In other words, all the electronics/electrical connections/buttons/switches/pad inputs seem to be wired ok but the external pad inputs won't trigger anymore. WTF!?
The module itself works perfectly: all pads, switches and buttons work as it's supposed to; It's still possible to program a beat; it still plays preset kits/beats; pads on the module itself play and respond to velocity well. The only problem is that the external triggers/pads don't trigger anymore (except the ride, which is fine).
Anyone know what to do? I'm at my wits end trying to figure it out. I've thought of re-installing the software (presuming I could find the software for it on the web) but there's only a MIDI out and no way to "re-install" the whole program/software via an input somewhere. Please help asap! Thanks in advance.
