all seems well........tested all the points and all the numbers seemed about what i expected them to be, ALTHOUGH, i plugged my box into my PC, loaded up reason and just couldnt get anything to happen....any ideas?? this shold work with reason yes?? my LCD is working, the computer is recognising a MIDI USB peripheral so the USB function is enumerating......i dunno what to do? help please?
.... beautiful looking PCB though, nice one synthex,

Dmitri: Deleted you know what. I'm sure it is possible to avoid too strong words.

There should be a configuration option or input selection box where you need to choose MegaDrum (probably called "USB Audio") as a MIDI Input.

thanks dmitri, ill try that first thing in the morning,
sorry about the language......i get carried away sometimes and forget young people might read this.

I did admir's edrum before but it is more complex than megadrum.

Megadrum is the best Because;

I don't need so much pot to control sensitivity.This makes megadrum easy

I don't need so much pcb (thanks to syntex for aio)

I don't need pic and atmega programmer to programme it.Everything is on one pcb.

thanks Dmitri...

I have an extra option for poll: "I built it but it failed due to my total noobness at the time, although I'm sure my pending second attempt will rock the world "

... I knew I had to use a pc to hook it up to, but since I just started building the Synthex I ask myself what to hook it up on if there is no pc available ... Any suggestions ?
Also, it would be nice to put a metronome in the setup ? (I found schematics based on a pic and a midi in port)

BTW, nice work Synthex and of course Dmitri.

Any MIDI sound sampler, e.g. Drum machine. I use Boss DR-3

Is that Boss supposed to replace Megadrum or only support it for the sounds ?

Well, if I had Boss DR-3 and it could do what MegaDrum can, why would I develop MegaDrum in first place?

Afterwards I thought this was a dumb..s question, but since I can't delete this post I decided to leave it as is so other noobs like me wouldn't come up with the same question

Maybe I will build a case with Megadrum and a Linux EEE-laptop. This way it will be kind of portable ...
