Hi folks, new guy asking what's probably an easy fix, I'm not sure.
I've got an old TD-7 kit which I initialized so that it's got all factory settings, and I'm trying to get my PC (Windows 10) to recognize that there is a midi device connected via USB. I'm using a generic MIDI-to-USB connector which is brand new, and shows up in the device manager (midi device 2.0). There is a steady green light on indicating that it has power, but regardless of the orientation of the MIDI in and out cables (I tried swapping them just in case I had the connection mixed up), when I'm hitting the triggers, there is no indication that a signal is outputting. I'm of the mind that when I hit a pad, that the LED indicator for output should blink, which I am not getting. Checking the the settings for MIDI connectivity in the TD-7, it says In and Out are both On.
Additionally, when trying to map my drums in SD2, it says that no MIDI device is found.
Needless to say, I am at a brick wall and unsure of how to progress from here. Would anyone mind offering some insight on what I could possibly be doing wrong?
