Ok so the first time I tried to calibrate it didn't do anything. I tried today (3 days later) and it worked for some reason. But it worked way too well and instead of not responding my hits are crosstalking like no other and no matter what I do the sensitivity won't go down. I set everything at 0 and it didn't do anything. I can hit the bottom left part of the legs of the drum set and my orange cymbal will go off.
I don't have the instructions...so can someone explain EXACTLY what I need to do to calibrate them? I'm hitting save and test all the time and unplugging and plugging the cable and trying different things but nothing is working at all. I'm in the music studio where you can play free-for-all. Help anyone?
EDIT: YES. I guess if you leave the drum tuning kit open too long it stops working? Who knows. I just restarted my 360 and the tuning program and it worked like a charm. _________________

Anyone know how to get this if you live outside the US? I live in Canada and the only options are for the states |

How long did it take you to get your cable? |

Ah yes, I thought I'd have to search for the thread that first had that link, but thank you for the sticky, Briguy. Once I have a working drum set, then I can work on becoming good at drums. _________________

I need that USB to Midi cable sent to Australia, but their support site doesn't even list the sensitivity problem as an issue on the Australia section of the site, has everything else though.
Any suggestions?
If i purchased a cable over the counter is it likely to have the same features or will it be missing the hit indicator? |

I just got a notification (finally) that my USB-Midi cable was shipped and that it would be here tomorrow and I was wondering if anyone had the same problem as me.
Both my red and green pads don't register unless hit in the center of the respective pads (about 1/4 the area of the entire pad). My yellow cymbal registers double hits when playing fast parts (such as Everlong).
If anyone had a similar problem with one or all of the pads, I would like to know which sensitivity levels seemed to work the best? |

My cable arrived today, two days after the email notice. I hooked it up and started tweaking it - what's nice is that you're in the Music Studio so you can easily see what's happening with your pads (for example: yellow crosstalk, or rolls not registering). After just a few minutes I found some good settings, but I think I still need to tweak down the cymbals just a little bit more to be at the perfect setup. Great success! </Borat>

The PDF that you can also download with the software addresses these types of concerns. It would seem that you should turn up your red and green and turn down your yellow. Make changes (it updates it in real-time as soon as you change something) and then try playing in the Music Studio to see the results. For me, I turned my pads way up (like 17 or something) and my yellow down to 8, but I think my cymbals need to go down a little bit more to completely eliminate crosstalk. Good luck! _________________

I'd like to know this too.
Also, my snare worked out of the box, but my yellow cymbal had some issues. After three hours of play, the snare will no longer register at all. I've tried just lightly tapping it, and I've tried bashing the hell out of it. Would the sensitivity program remedy this, or is my pad just screwed?
Kinda sucks that Aussies have to shell out another 20 bucks for a cable after we spent around 300 bucks on their game. I'd be expecting compensation unless activision Australia starts offering free cables fast. _________________

Does anyone know it the tuner app works with other MIDI interfaces? Like me for instance, I have a X-FI soundcard with the front panel, and it has MIDI ports. |
