I hooked up my Octapad PAD-80 to an R5 drum machine after 3 years of no use and... no go.
Here are the steps I took to set it up. Did I miss anything? The R5 works fine alone so I'm assuming it's the PAD-80, I can't figure out why they won't communicate:
1. When I hit the PAD-80 with drumsticks the PAD-80 volume meters move to show that the sticks are triggering the pads.
2. I set the Midi channel to 10 for both the PAD-80 & R5, and I set the Midi note numbers to match the corresponding PAD-80 pads & R5 sounds.
3. I set the PAD-80 as the master so it could trigger the R5's sounds. Plugged a MIDI cable from the PAD-80's MIDI out to the R5's MIDI in.
...And the R5 won't acknowledge that the PAD-80 is sending any MIDI information. I read the manuals; but non of the troubleshooting in them has helped. You have any idea what may be up?
