Hi Brady.
Did you test all outputs? The six main outputs are electrically all the same.
The hp output has an extra pair of transistors for each channel.

The volume pot uses a cap for dual slope AD conversion.

Please test on the UNIT OUT page by using diff routing and
selecting output without vol ctrl, those with !
Also on this page is top right an indicator for the vol pot value.

Best,
Deve.

Thanks for the feedback! Appreciated with a reply on a suggestion.

Hi.
"talk about the multilayer sample import already in 2017."
Yup, nice its there now for MP. Just saying, DrumIt had that since 2010 or so.
And I could have imagined another road ahead for DrumIt since 2009,
but things sometimes work out another way.
Enjoy e-drumming!

Hi. Its typical for spring loaded slots, so called push-push sockets. I prefer push-pull.
However, they might come back to life when you take tweezer / pincett and drag the card out.
Then just try in and out again.

Hi. Is this the original DI5? Those cymbals implemented bell sound by velocity switching.
So probably you have to adjust the gain.
From the manual.

When the TYPE is Cym12 or 14, the GAIN parameter has an extra cup value selectable between Low, Medium or High. First turn GAIN so only hard hits on the bow give full level on zone 4. Then click GAIN so only hard cup hits give full level on zone 1. (Note: only relatively hard cup hits result in zone 1, otherwise zone 4.)

Best,
Deve.

Hi. On Unit Intf page you can set the midi chan and note for each chan.
The note is for the center articulation, the others are on consecutive higher notes.
Cheers, Deve.

Hi. When you split toms or snare, you access them by holding More + Tomx or Snare.
Set the trigger type for the split ch on Unit - Trig page.
Set the sound on Kit - Drum.
Each can be individually panned on Kit - Vol.
Each can be routed as you want om Unit - Intf.
Remember to check More button is lit up.

Cheers, Deve.

Hi. Looks like a bir of the white / inner circle of the piezo came off where it was soldered.
Maybe (?) you can solder the wire again on another part of that inner circle.
Otherwise and better, new piezo.
Best, Deve.

Hi. Sure fast these newer SD card interfaces. But it depends on the type of cpu / soc if it can be used.
Best I have seen is UHS-1 on embedded soc chips. (Mmm, interesting! :-)
Mimic uses a Sitara SOM which has SATA,

Just the SOM costs like the whole DI5 mainboard.

Hi. Thanks for the thumbs up Cman!

As fat32 on sdxc is not officially supported, there is no official utility to format them.
I am afraid cloning will have to do, or very low level byte wise tinkering.

Larger than 4 GB over the current DrumIt USB implementation goes wrong indeed (I know why).
However,  I dont want to go into details because I need the solution for my own sake, so to say :-)
I hope you understand. It cant be solved with an OS update anyway.

The original DI5 had the card built in, because it is (and turned out to be) hard to find a capable card. So the 4 GB USB limit back then was ok.

All the best,
Deve.

Ps. In the DI5mkII user manual it still says support for 64 GB, but on the web site its gone.

Hi All.
I think a card can not be too fast. The host determines the transfer rate. See also
https://www.sdcard.org/developers/sd-standard-overview/bus-speed-default-speed-high-speed-uhs-sd-express/
However, access time can maybe be too long, but that does not affect the card being recognized.
Reformatting 64 GB from exfat to fat32 is not that simple. Cloning is not the correct way actually.

Best,
Deve.

Check volume / routing. See...

Kit mode, drum page, volume (per drum)
Unit mode, mix page, vol in the mix (global)
Unit mode, intf page, bus assign for individual out (per drum)
Unit mode, out page, set which bus goes to which out (global)

Cheers, Deve.
