question concerning midi

Post by norddrumuser »

hello all,

I've recently bought a nord drum2 to control it with a midi controller.
Midi note #s are kept at the factory state; namely 60, 62, 64, 65, 67 and 69.
But whenever I play notes other than #60, #60 is played along with that sound.
For example, if I play note #62, the result sound that I get is #62 plus #60.
Am I not setting something right?
Could anybody please explain to me why this is happening, and what I can do to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Questions:

) What's the MIDI controller make/model?

) Do you have your MIDI controller plugged directly into the ND2?

) Are you seeing two trigger lights on the ND2 light up instead of just one?

) Are you sending MIDI only to the default global channel 10 on the ND2?

) Do you have MIDI out from the ND2 plugged into your controller?

My primary suggestion is to simplify the setup. Use a direct connection initially and only Controller->ND2, not in the opposite direction. That'll help you debug it more easily. Sorry in advance if this is something you've already tried, just not making any assumptions here.

Hello rhombus,

Thanks for the reply.
I changed the global midi channel to 1 and individual midi channel setting to any number other than 1, and it works fine now.
Thanks for the tips!

Hi Norddrumuser!

Indeed that's the right way to set it up!

(or switch indiv. MIDI channels OFF if you're not using the feature)

Cheers,
Albert
