1. Are you sure that your soundfont has a sample on
every key? Ie:
Check WHICH
notes are being sent from the Alesis Control Pad, and compare them to
the pads on your
Axiom? (Use KMidiMon or GMidiMon or ... for testing?)
As I've reported, hitting the same pad 20 times will bring out one
(faint) sound. I do not think the Alesis Control Pad is changing MIDI
note number during these 20 hits on the very same pad.
I also do not think the Control Pad has cross-pad noise (it is
adjustable) as cross-pad noise does not happen when using Hydrogen nor
does it happen when using the Control Pad to trigger the sounds of a
M-Audio Prokeys 88 keyboard with built-in sounds.
Clearly, the Alesis Control Pad seems to be working fine.
2. Have you tried using VMPK (Virtual Midi Piano
Keyboard) to send
MIDI notes
to QSynth to see how that reacts? (dropping notes yes/no?)
Qsynth also works fine when played by the keys and pad of both M-Audio
keybaords (Axion 25 and Prokeys 88).
Good luck.. -Harry
Ouside of luck, there must be a good friggin' reason why it is not
possible to reliably trigger Qsynth sounds (with velocity!) from an
Alesis Control Pad.
