Hi, I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. My goal is to hook up my HD1 set to my computer and have it control Addictive Drums (or something similar.
The problem is, when the HD1s are hooked up to my computer, I get a lot of double hits when I'm trying to hit two things at the same time (hihat+snare, snare+bass drum, crash+tom, etc). This doesn't happen when I am hitting drums one at a time, only when I'm hitting two at the same time. And which drum sounds off the double hit changes. It's not constant.
So, I've been troubleshooting this like crazy.
At first, I focused on the cable. Got a new one. No help.
Then I focused on the DAWs. I got the buffering improved, but no change on the double hits.
Then I used the addictive drums 2 standalone program. Same thing.
EZ drummer. Same thing.
Finally, I took the same MIDI cable and hooked it up to an old keyboard I have gathering dust. Works like a charm. No double hits no matter how hard I try.
So, the problem seems to be the HD1.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Or is it just an inherent issue with the cheapo HD1s?
Thank you!
(FWIW, I'm running a Macbook Air (Mavericks). 8GB Ram. 1.3ghz. I've tested out the HD1 on Reaper, Cubase, Garageband, Addictive drums, EZdrummer).
