Problems with MIDI triggering between Alesis DM Lite and Addictive Drums 2
I have tried to contact XLN Audio several times but I am beginning to doubt whether they are even operating anymore as I have had no reply in 3 weeks and their Twitter hasn't had an update since 2013! So, as it came free with Sonar, I wondered if I might get some support on here - here's the issue:
I have set up the drum map on Addictive Drums 2 to the DM Lite preset and everything is mapped fine with very little latency on all pads. The only problem I have is that the hi-hat pedal doesn't seem to operate the way it should. To show you what I mean here is a list of my actions, the MIDI message received by AD2 and the outputted sound, in sequence:
Action 1: I hit hi-hat with pedal up (open).
MIDI message: Key 46 Vel:127 (IN) / CC HiHat Tip (OUT)
Sound heard: Open Hi-Hat
Action 2: I hit hi-hat with pedal down (closed).
MIDI message: CC4 127 (IN) / PedalCC 100% Closed (OUT)
Sound heard: Open Hi-Hat
Action 3: I hit hi-hat with pedal down (closed).
MIDI message: CC4 127 (IN) / PedalCC 100% Closed (OUT)
Sound heard: Closed Hi-Hat
Action 4: I hit hi-hat with pedal up (open).
MIDI message: CC4 0 (IN) / PedalCC 100% Open (OUT).
Sound heard: Closed Hi-Hat.
Action 5: I hit hi-hat with pedal up (open).
MIDI message: Key 46 Vel:127 (IN) / CC HiHat Tip (OUT).
Sound heard: Open Hi-Hat
Read through the above carefully, but I think the MIDI messages coming through seem to be correct in terms of open/closed messages, yet the sound coming out does not correlate. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Mike.
