How to Connecting TD-20 to Toontrack Solo?

[schimmel]

I have an E-MU xMidi1x1 usb midi cable. I’ve installed the proper drivers for it, selected it in MIDI Devices in toontrack solo, and E-Drumsin the controller options but nothing is triggering. There are lights for midi in @ out on the cable that I believe are supposed to light up when signals are being sent. The light don’t light up so it seems that no signals are being sent at all. What more I am supposed to do? Is there something I need to do on the TD-20 module? And could anyone help me to also set e-drum controlling in Cubase, I’ve tried to figure it out but it seems I can’t.

Do you see any check boxes next to your MIDI devices?

I saw that thread earlier but it didn’t help. Yes, the check box for the MIDI device is there and is selected.

I know this is probably a silly question but do you have the ‘MIDI output’ of your TD-20 plugged in to the ‘MIDI input’ on your E-mu device?

No they’re in their proper places.

These are the proper places aren’t they?

The question was directed at schimmel who had said ‘no’.

[schimmel]

It was connected properly, I just said no because I had not read the question word for word. I just glimpsed at in, out, td-20, e-mu and assumed he was asking if I had mixed-up the in and out-puts literally. So I had replied no, implying that it wasn’t mixed-up. It started working, after I finnished installing the rest of metal foundry, for reasons I do not know. The latency is very bad. Going to have to work on that. For a single hit it take almost a second for a sound to be played, and for successive hits, anything faster than ~ 1/4s @ 200bpm, timming is skewed and notes are cut out. Going to research. You are welcomed to point me in the right direction, as I have close to no knowledge of these things and am figuring it out as I go along.

there are much information lacking for anyone to be able to help you, not least what audio interface you are using. Are you using the latest ASIO drivers for it?

I use ASIO4ALL (the latest ver from asio4all.com.) Unless whatever came with stock with my cpu counts as an audio interface, I don’t have one.

Looked at another thread which prompted me to check the audio device selection in tt solo. Changed it to ASIO4ALL v2 instead of realtek and I think it’s playable now (only tested some soft single strokes, at the moment, because regular playing would wake everyone in the house .)
