Title: (SOLVED) Drum CV Gates not working
Post by: Kubase on July 02, 2017, 12:15:56 pm

This is with various eurorack modules.  No problems from the Seq 1/2 gates but nothing coming out of any of the drum CV gates.  I've tried the positive/negative settings in MCC.

Help!

Hi Kubase,
Are you sure about the pads that are used are the ones linked to the Gates?

I Grec.

Hi, yes I'm sure. The gates also don't work with sequencer steps, not just hitting the pads.

Have you check the output voltage of drum gates?
You may have to check your Drum Map

How do I check the voltage. I don't think it's related to a drum map as I am trying to trigger eurorack modules.

With a multimeter. Maybe your unit is faulty.

My mistake, you are right.

Ok,
Let's try some trick:

• Put a jack cable (Mono) between "DRUM GATES" output 1 and "CLOCK IN".
• Put your BSP in SYNC -> CLK
• Put your BSP in DRUM sequencer mode
• Then press Play button
• Push the Pad labelled "C Forward" a lot of times

The sequencer should increment itself. Tell me if it is ok.

Hi, that worked!  What's even better is that after going back into midi synch mode, it still worked!  Everything else was set up identically.

Thanks, case close.  ;D
