Drum problems? Download the Drum Tuning Kit from Red Octane

**HoorayItsMike** · Joined: 28 Jul 2007 Posts: 1604 Location: Ohio

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

It says I have to ask a question after I go through the steps is that what I'm suppose to do?

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 put up a request on Monday night (11/3). I got my shipping confirmation email today- its expected to arrive tomorrow (11/13).

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>

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.
