Midi issue

[hdevr000]

Hi all.
I have an issue with receiving midi from my DrumitFive to my computer.
I use a USB2Midi cable and I tried several program that support midi e.g. Etrigger and others.
Every program absolutely doesn't receive signals from the DrumitFive.
I downloaded a tool that monitors the midi that comes in and out, it's called MIDI-OX.
See the screenshots! What can be wrong!? I don't care if the mapping is not correct, I just don't get any input if I play the drums!
The cable and driver are installed correctly. I am running WIndows 7 64-bits
Anybody can help. I will aplaud for you is that helps

Hi Henk,

I use the same cable. I connected the midi-out cable to the midi-out plug and the same for midi in. However, no midi output.

So, I switched cables: out to in and in to out... That did the trick for me.

  it did the trick!!
So strange. This is my second cable, I do believe that 2BOX switched tyhe two around OR we misinterpreted it.

WHat do you think?

Well... I haven't got a clue.... Maybe the signs on the cable are from the PC's point of view...:

PC's Midi Out goes INto the Drumit...

Anyway... it works

MIDI is undirectional.  So you have separe OUT and IN physical interfaces.  MIDI OUT on one device goes to MIDI IN on another.   MIDI THRU is a OUTPUT and is a copy of what is received via the MIDI INPUT.

It's a current loop system and is optically isolated on the INPUT so nothing can break really if you get it wrong as you have noticed by now.
