MidiKITI Programming Help...ED...HELP!!

2003-02-17 by jadiebooshkie <jadiebooshkie@yahoo.com>

Ed..I want to move my visulite 18 inch ride to the midiKITI, I 
wanted to use the one sound I have in my personal user kit for it, 
but I know it has 2 sounds (bell and ride sounds)..I have the Y 
connector, but Hosa sent the wrong one, I got a stereo male to 2 
stereo females, and I needed the stereo male to to mono females, the 
guy at the store said it might work, they are reordering the YPP117.
I plugged in the KITI, I have my midi cables connectec to midi 
in/midi out on both...WHICH MIDI OUT channel should I use on the 
KITI..there are 2 MIDI OUTS, the book only shows a diagram and 
doesn't tell which midi out to use, so I plugged it into the midi 
out outlet next to the midi in outlet.  i tried a preset kit, and 
found a ride sound that changed my #9 pad from the tom sound to a 
ride cymbal.  I then used the Hosa YPP118 and connected my a mono 
plugs from the visulite into inputs 1 and 2 on the KITI.  I went to 
the trigger edit of my preset user kit..named it MIDI KITI, and 
found the sound for pad 9 that changed from tom to ride...the note 
was #053.  I pressed the AUTOTRAIN on the KITI, and pushed the 
trigger voice button, theo the 0-5-3 lights were lit in sequence.  I 
didn't know what to do next.  I read the KITI manuel, and it said if 
I hit the trigger (cymbal) it should play that note...0-5-3 which 
was a ride cymbal voice.  Well I hit the cymbal and if I hit it 
hard, I am getting a tomR sound!!!  What the heck am I doing wrong?  
I wanna assign a ride cymbal, and a bell voice to the KITI...HOW DO 
I GET THESE VOICES TO SOUND FOR MY RIDE.  Ther's gotta be something 
I am missing here, the DTX module is set to ch 10...do I need to be 
in a UTILITY MODE PAGE?  Now I have a tom assigned, and how do I 
change it back?  For now, I just want to move one crash and my dual 
zone visulite ride to the KITI.  Is there something I press on the 
KITI to save that voice to trigger 1.  Also, when I plugged in the 2 
mono jacks from the Vis. cymbal, I noticed that only trigger 1 was 
lit.  Shouldn't trigger 2 be lit also?  Or is this because the Y 
adapter is wrong, I should have the stereo male to 2 mono females 
attaching to 2 mono males into the KITI....can ya help me out?  Jade
