Hey guys
I’ve had a Disaster Area Designs DMC-7D for a little over a week and I can’t get it work with my OT’s pickup machine. I’ve been in contact with DAD’s customer service and they’ve done all they can to help me out, but unfortunately they don’t have an OT of their own to test with. The DMC-7D is a discontinued product and they haven’t had any software support for it since 2013 (time flies, doesn’t it?) They gave me their Elektron firmware and I uploaded it properly but the OT still doesn’t respond. I’ve set up the OT as it should: receiving CC, Auto Channel set to 16, Tracks 1, 2, and 3 are Pickup machines for my setup. Track 1 is selected, I hit the pedal… and nothing. I do see a little blip on the top left of the screen that indicates the OT is receiving MIDI data but apparently it is not the correct MIDI Data. I’ve toyed around using different Auto Channels and nothing. I’ve installed the pedal’s original firmware and then re-installed the elektron firmware, i’ve gone through all mode changes in the pedal to see if the different settings would do anything and still… nothing.
The only thing I can think of now is maybe the OT needs some older firmware in order to work with the pedal? Does this make sense to anyone? I’m using the latest 1.25H or whatever it is… Does anyone use DAD’s DMC-7D with an Octatrack? If I can’t this to work I’m going to have to figure out how to sell it… Which would be a shame because I really like the way it looks. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
