I get random unwanted midi notes triggering while I plug my dd-55 into my emu x-midi 2x2 with my Reaper DAW. I don't know if this is a problem with the emu or the dd-55 itself, but it doesn't happen when I use a roland pc-180 midi controller so I think it must be the yamaha dd-55.

Once connected to the computer you have to open your Daw and find the menu to activate the mixer via midi. Check the user manual of your Daw. Also you might have to do some midi mapping to set up the controls.

the main line on the c note that goes to the main board seems not ok, u will need a qualified technician to check and advise. this may be caused by liguid pouring on it, moisture leading to rust corroding the terminals.

Are you connecting to the laptop and using it as a midi controller? You can record midi notes from the keyboard and send them to your laptop via USB using any midi sequencer program (reason, logic, etc). Create a midi track, select the input of that track as your keyboard, then hit record to play some midi notes. To hear what you record, you have to set the output of the midi track to whatever midi sounds or instrunents you have installed on your laptop.

If you are trying to record the actual audio sound the keyboard makes, use an audio program such as cubase, sonar, audacity, pro-tools, and either mic the keyboard, or connect one of the other audio outputs (1/4" TRS) to an audio input on your DAW, and record an audio track that way (as opposed to a midi track).

Axiom keyboards are compatible with PC as well as Mac.

I don't know what DAW you are using but Axiom is compatible with several.

Take a look at Avid's hompage to solve your problem, lots of configurations and downloads.

I am sure you will find the answers right here :

what program are you running and did you set up your keyboard with the software so it can recognize it. Depending on what software it is your using as soon as I know I can tell you how to get it working. I use my midi keyboard with everything from reason, Ableton live, pro tools logic logic express vdj traktor basically every software!

you need to determine what midi note the DTXplorer is using for the snare, kick and 3rd tom, and set the SR-18 accordingly, or vica-versa. the midi notes for each instrument has to be the same.

if you cannot change the midi note in either unit to make them correspond, you can download a "midi mapper" program (i think e-drum might be one), there is freeware available if you search CNet. with a midi mapper program, you would have to get a midi/usb adapter for your computer and rouite the midi signal through a computer. midi mapping software allows you to change the midi note, when the hardware itself is incapable of doing so.

It needs to be plugged in to a computer with a DAW to produce sound. The DAW converts the information sent by the controller about which key is pressed and how hard and converts it into sound with a virtual instrument

I don't know what you are using to record with but if you are recording audio try sending half of the split right and the other half left or use two separate channels to record each half. Mix as needed. If you are recording midi using a DAW assign each half of the split to a separate midi channel and assign the receives to separate channels in your DAW. If you are recording onboard your manual should have the solution and you might just have missed it so far.

Oh, oh... that is often called the "Dreaded MIDI Drone".

There ccan be more than one causes, however two of those are this:

1. The receiving device either does or does not respond to the note off command or only responds to the note on command with zero velocity, which is also now interpreted as note off. Check the MIDI implementation chart to determine this.

2. Two MIDI commands have merged without using a MIDI merger which makes sure ONLY complete MIDI commands are sent. If the commands are mixed, dreaded MIDI drone is assured.

The Tascam has no midi In,Out or Thru so the answer is No.
