Couple questions after a week with the Mandalas
Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2014 11:48 am
So I've had my 2 mandala drums and synapse for about a week now. Very fun to play. I just have a couple questions that I can't seem to find any answers to online.
First one. Is there something wrong with my edge zone? I have to really whack the hell out of the edge to even get the slightest bit of sound out of it. Center, mid-in, mid-out are solid. But the edge zone is almost non existent and inconsistent. Is this a velocity setting or something like that? If so, what can I do to fix this? I can see on the VB that if I just tap the edge, it shows it triggering. But as I hit harder, the volume stays the same unless I bang it uncomfortably hard.
That's my main concern. There's a bunch of little things too like me having to restart my computer and having to unplug and replug everything in whenever I want to play my mandalas, just so the VB will recognize the mandala. It's very annoying and doesn't seem right.
Then also, where is the synapse software or program? The only cd I got with my order was the VB cd. Does the synapse software pop up when I plug in, say an epedal? I still need to buy an epedal but I wanted to make sure all of this is working correctly first.
So a recap...
What's with the edge zone?
Why is connecting the mandalas such a hassle?
How do I access the synapse software?
I'd really appreciate any kind if help! Thank you!!
