Board pins to drums in Megadrum FX Manager

[madpsychot]

I'm at the beginning of my biggest project yet. I'm going to convert a full acoustic set into an eDrum set, making my own drum triggers (but not my own cymbals). With the first tests I've done, I can see that hooked up to Addictive drums or Superior Drummer I'm going to be having some fun!

Here's the issue I've run into. Looking at the megadrum board, I can see that pins are numbered 1 to 40.




According to the pinout diagrams, pin 40 is ground, and pin 4 is the kick drum tip. Except when I connect those two pins to an test drum, in ManagerFx, somehow I can only change the note that is played from pin 4 if I select Aux8R.

Am I doing something wrong here? My ManagerFX is configured to 56 inputs, and I've factory reset my megadrum as well.

What pinout diagram did you see that in?

Am I reading this wrong?

This is very old full DIY Inputs board schematic. The pinout for the MegaDrum kit is in "MegaDrum kit - instruction manual 20170127.pdf" in viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1420

Thanks Dmitri

I didn't realise how old those schematics were - there were linked directly from the home page so I assumed that there were universal schematics for any generation of megadrum

A big thank you for the link - this schematic makes waaayyy more sense to me now!
