Yep, that makes some sense. Sounds like a lot of trial and error, which is not a bad thing. Got a loom and a load of leads coming in the next couple of days so I can connect things up. Simon, I am in Boxgrove, literally just off the A27, let me know if you are over this way as someone who knows what they are doing could jump start me to somewhere much better than I currently am ;-)
Having monster trouble with the electronic drum kit as well. I thought that would have been easy but it just subs out and sounds crap!!!!
