Hi :)

sorry for my late reply, I didn't fetch emails for 2 weeks. I'm using 
the D4 to, but without using my DAUZ pad any more. Anyway, I guess I'll 
have some time to check this behaviour next week. What soundfont do you use?

When I bought the D4 years ago it was the or one of the original first 
version(s), because of a broken power switch I got a new one some weeks 
later with a software update. Pushing "EXT TRIG" and then the "CURSOR" 
there are  functions like "VCURVE" and "DCAY". I was more fine with the 
less functions of the original first D4 I had. It might be, that your 
software version doesn't support this, but if it's supported, it might 
be that you don't really trigger all played notes, than adjust "DCAY" or 
that the velocity needs to be fixed.

Dunno what software version my D4 is using, it starts with the 
information 1991. There must be some key combination that can be pushed, 
e.g. when turning on the D4, to see what software version it is using, 
but I'm short in time right now and can't figure it out. Btw. the user 
manual is from 1992, unfortunately I don't have the service manual.

If you can burn EPROMS I can take a look and try to read a probably 
existing ROM.

Are you using a pad or mics? What functions are supported for "EXT TRIG" 
by your D4?

In addition I've got a DD-11, as soon as possible I'll check if I can 
trigger fluidsynth by my DAUZ + D4 or the DD-11.

Some information, I only read the first mail of the link, maybe this 
information I'll give you know is mentioned by some mail:

"Note on for Acoustic Bass Drum with velocity 127
Note on for Acoustic Bass Drum with velocity 0"

A note on event with velocity 0 is the same as a note off event and not 
unusual for keyboards too. Another confusing thing for people might be 
the so called "running status". It would be good if you can post a MIDI 
monitoring instead of a misinterpretation ;).

Maybe Peter or some other drummer can report what the situation is for 
Roland, Simmons etc. when triggering any virtual Linux synth. IIRC Peter 
is using Roland Pads.

If I shouldn't find the time to test it next week, please remember me to 
check it with my DAUZ/ Alesis and my Yamaha the week after next.

Cheers,
Ralf
