I see e.g. 99 2F 51 where the second number differs for different pads and the last number is up to about 70 (harder hit = higher number). But I can't hear anything. when I dump one of the demo songs the volume has about same values and I can hear those... however it also sends 89 xx xx and EC xx xx messages, there's also number of F8 messages (clock?) any ideas how to further debug these? Do I need to check midi protocol and go from there? thanks, erik
