I need some help! I havent used my Roland PM-16 midi interface in about 20 years, and I just got a Alesis SR-16 to hook up to it and makes some noise with a couple of drum pads I have. Last time I used the PM was with a Korg DDD-5 that didnt sound too good but was easy to hook up. Im not familiar wth the SR and I’ve forgotten everything else! So I cant tell what setttings I have wrong…the drum machine, interface or both??
Midi settings for the SR-16… Drum in on V1, Drum out, Clock In, Clockout, MidiThrough, Prg Chng…..ON or OFF??? And Midi in note triggering what pad? Omni On/OFF or Poly?
Now the interface, forget about it! Midi channell is flashing…there’s Bank buttons to push, patches to edit…note# prog # chanel, input channel, Threshold, gate time….input a channel or input all? Midi, Copy, Write buttons, level/name….I can’t get it to make any drum noise…do I have one little setting wrong or is it all messsed up? Ah! I just found where the PM-16 is telling me, to get the midi sound source to emit sounds when I hit a pad connected to it, at least the midi channel and note number must be set…Well, Im burnt! I got a little trigger light to flash when I hit the pad but still no sound…..anybody have any advice before I go completly mad?
thanks
mike
