Yamaha DD55 and Ableton Live 9

[maylortaylor]

Can anyone give me some simple instructions on how to connect the Yamaha dd55c to my drum rack?

I have a Roland Um-ONE "midi to usb" cable that i cant seem to figure out with this device.

My DD55c's pads are all set to channel 10, and notes -c2 through -g2

Ok, i have mid in and out going on.

I'm using MIDI PIPE to see what's going on. Every time i hit a pad, i get a 'note on/off' (two in fact) signal traveling on channel 10 for the specified note (c-2 , g-2, etc)

But ableton is still not recognizing what is going on.

The drum pad should be going in to the midi in. You want to make sure Ableton is receiving midi signal first. On the top right (in Ableton) there are two little squares, when you hit the drum pad the top square should light up.

Here are some steps you can use to trouble shoot:

Track is armed (track arm is red)

Go to preferences-> midi->
Your device should be listed on left. If it is not it may be a hardware issue.

Make sure the track midi input is set to on.

Hope this helps!
