Hey everyone,
I recently brought home a Yamaha DD55 drum pad setup for recording in real time. I was trying to get it to trigger samples from my phrase sampler (a Zoom 224), but it's not triggering them.
The MIDI connections seem to be correct, since i can trigger notes on my synthesizer using the DD55. But when I daisy chain from the synthesizer to the sampler, I can only trigger the synth. The sampler does nothing. The sampler can be triggered by the synth keys, so the MIDI of the sampler is working.
Any thoughts? I was wondering if it has to do with the trigger mode of the sampler (gate, trigger, retrigger), but none of those options make a difference. I've got the MIDI channels set up right, and I've set the DD55 to trigger the proper MIDI notes. It's as if the notes just don't make it to the sampler. Oh yeah, and i can start and stop the sampler's sequencer using the DD55, so there's some MIDI info getting to it. Just not the notes!
I appreciate any advice or suggestions from anyone. It would really suck if I can't use these pads to trigger my own sounds!
Thanks in advance,
marcus
