[Matias Grosso]

Yeah, i got FOFIX but it didn't work. Could you tell me how you did it?

---- EDIT ----

Nevermind, man. It worked at LAST!!!! I'm so happy. I downloaded FOFix 3.100, I pluged my drum and it **** worked. Thanks all the people who did this post or posted comments. THANKS ALL!!!!!

Hi guys! I need a hand over here. When I play FoFix 3100 with my Medeli 305 an error occurs. When I hit two drum pads at a time (green + red, green + blue, even bass drum + any colour) its like I hit first one and then another. Look, for example, I wanna hit Green + Red, its like I do Green, the Red. Understand? Please, please help me as soon as anyone can. Thanks!

dude this is awesome
(if only I had an electric drum set)

ditto :p
my mom is too selfish with our money

to be fair, a decent electric drumset is >$1000! I would be a little selfish when the price gets that high as well!
I went and bought each piece separately: TD-8 "brains" (found a guy who's set had been in a box in the garage for 2 years), PD-100 (ebay), CY-7 (used music shop), KD-120 (ebay) etc. (I already had hardware & double bass pedal) - it's not as big a set, but the full, big set costs $1400+ (depending on how good a used deal you get) and a minimal set costs only ~$600, which is all I can afford (and I took a few extra jobs to afford that!).

If you enjoy the drums on these games, I highly recommend buying at least a FEW V-drum pieces. It won't kill your writs like plastic pads do, AND you could actually plug it into an amp and play with your buddies. honestly, if you're just trying to get halfway decent on the drums, 4 toms and 3 cymbals are a little excessive, so a minimal set really isn't bad.
honestly, I think it's a great way for me to practice timing & stamina.
I'm gonna try hooking up my V-Drums shortly, I'm so glad that FoF exists! I knew someone must have done it! gotta love those computer genius geeks.

sorry to dig up an old thread but does anyone have the midi2key program that was posted on this thread earlier as i have looked all over for it but cant find it anywhere,cheers

[italianstal1ion]

try google? http://lotro.acasylum.com/midi/

forum thread (not trying to advertise lol): http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?t=121331

FoFiX 3.100 has support for MIDI inputs as controllers, so you won't need it if you are using 3.100 or higher.

cheers for the reply im using a cheap usb drumkit and it works fine with fofix but i wanted to try it with GHWT ,the link you gave me is for the midi player which did not work for me so im hoping someone still has the original midi2key program for me to try.i used the glovepie method from this thread but i had the same issues as others with the pads not registering properly,cheers

If you are using an electronic kit I'm pretty sure there's no software that will magically allow you to use the kit as an xbox/ps3 controller. You'll have to buy an ION drum kit module or a GHWT module (recommending that because you'll be playing GWHT) and hook up the MIDI outputs to the module to convert them to xbox/ps3 controller inputs.

Don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure that's the only way you can get MIDI devices to work on xbox/ps3.

sorry i meant for GHWT for the pc,so i can assign the midi notes of the kit to the keyboard layout of world tour

I can't thank you enough! Very simple to follow tutorial! I have the same drums as you Pitythefool. and for all of those wondering a USB to MIDI cable does work.

thanks a LOT!

THANK YOU pitythefool26!!
Now i can play ghwt pc with my edrums and of course frets on fire.

I think in FoFiX you can just use RTMidi.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but just thought I'd mention that GlovePie 0.30 and maybe 0.29 support Midi Channel 10 (percussion)...now you don't even need midi-yoke or midi-ox, just copy and modify slightly the following code:

Code: Select all

midi.DeviceIn = 1
debug = midi.InDevName
midi.DefaultChannel = 10
Key.A = MapRange(midi1.csharp3, 0,1, 0,1)
Key.B = MapRange(midi1.fsharp2, 0,1, 0,1)
Key.C = MapRange(midi1.e3, 0,1, 0,1)
Key.D = MapRange(midi1.d4, 0,1, 0,1)
Key.E = MapRange(midi1.b3, 0,1, 0,1)
Key.F = MapRange(midi1.g3, 0,1, 0,1)
Key.G = MapRange(midi1.g4, 0,1, 0,1)
Key.H = MapRange(midi1.b4, 0,1, 0,1)
