As I've reported, hitting the same pad 20 times will bring out one (faint) sound. I do not think the Alesis Control Pad is changing MIDI note number during these 20 hits on the very same pad. I also do not think the Control Pad has cross-pad noise (it is adjustable) as cross-pad noise does not happen when using Hydrogen nor does it happen when using the Control Pad to trigger the sounds of a M-Audio Prokeys 88 keyboard with built-in sounds. Clearly, the Alesis Control Pad seems to be working fine. > 2. Have you tried using VMPK (Virtual Midi Piano Keyboard) to send > MIDI notes > to QSynth to see how that reacts? (dropping notes yes/no?) Qsynth also works fine when played by the keys and pad of both M-Audio keybaords (Axion 25 and Prokeys 88). > Good luck.. -Harry Ouside of luck, there must be a good friggin' reason why it is not possible to reliably trigger Qsynth sounds (with velocity!) from an Alesis Control Pad. > On Sun, Apr 18, 2010 at 11:06 PM, lanas <lanas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > All, > > > > Even though Qsynth's green light is flashign on each pas hit from > > the Alesis Control Pad, barely a sound is coming out.
