I always use CC mode.

I just realized that. Whenever clicking the midi monitor it seemed to crash. I now have the DM8 stable. I can see that it is sending midi data and have selected on the dm8 which midi notes I want that to send. How do I then route that through ED10 and out to my VST It will automatically route it. Y...

Not sure what the issue might be. You avoid using the eDRUMin MIDI Monitor. There's an issue right now where if more than 7 messages arrive within about 50 ms, it will likely crash the eDRUMin hardware. But as long as the MIDI monitor isn't open, there should be no issue.

Do you happen to know what firmware version you are using?

You have the pot wired up as a rheostat and have it connected to the bow piezo of the cymbal?

It's definitely designed to work that way. Does the DM8 power itself via USB or does it have an external power adapter?

To avoid any confusion, you can enter note numbers into the eDRUMin custom notes, and that'll work as expected. Also, although not ...

Hmmm. There should be a 'load' icon which is an arrow pointing up.
