Re : [Simmons Drums] MTM mental meltdown

Hi jesper  : )
Long time no speak. 
Considering the age of componants couldn't it be drifting specs giving you some spicy and random moments  ? 
It won t be a revelation for someone like you that our old MTMs might need a good recaping these days. 
Difficult to realise with such units compared to sound units that can have more obvious symptoms.
You might need to open them to check if values are correct.

let us know if you do mate. We're all more or less mtm users.

Cheers
P.

Objet: [Simmons Drums] MTM mental meltdown

Hi hexaheads!

After my studio rebuild it is up and running again and I'm slowly 
finding the trouble spots. The midi is messing with me, as is often the 
case when I get into trouble.

After eliminating as much as possible, this works:
midi master keyboard midi out -> MTM midi in = trig success!

After hooking everything back as it should be:
midi chain is unbroken up to my midi patch which just echoes incoming 
midi to seven outputs and also confirms it by LED. The MTM won't trig 
anything.

I've switched cables, changed outputs etc. And I have two other MTMs 
hooked to the same midipatch and these suxxers work and trig as they should.

If I rewire the test setup, it works again. All the MTM settings are 
identical in the MTMs, except for the midi note triggers. But I've moved 
these around too just to test... The MTM is running OS 4 and has the 
highest serial (800) of my three units.

What am I missing?! *cry of desperation*
