Drum problems? Download the Drum Tuning Kit from Red Octane

**GuitaringEgg** · Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2008 3:08 pm Post subject:

I'm getting GHWT tomorrow, and I'm really worried that it will be fucked up. I have a few questions:
1) Can i just use a 'normal'(is they exist) USB to Midi cable that i could buy over the counter.
2) Do they ship to the UK?

Thanks to whoever can answer this.

For those who are patient enough to wait they added the USB-Midi cable to the Australian section of the support site.
God I hope this fixes my kit.
I want to get an ION but can’t find anywhere that’ll ship to Aus *cries*

Sorry bout the triple post….

I can’t even process a request.
Keeps giving me an error message saying

“We're sorry. There was a problem while executing your request.”

I’ve tried several times now checking over all the fields ensuring they are correct.

Anyone else in Australia had this problem?
I just want a working kit damnit

I sent in my request last Wednesday, and RO emailed me saying they would ship it within 3-5 business days, and they would email me when it was shipped. Still no new email from RO. This happen to anyone else? Should I contact them?

Sorry for the double post.

I just got the cable today. But the tuning kit isn't working. The LED on the cable blinks when I click test and save but not when I actually hit the pads. Also when I save it doesn't seem to do anything. When I exit it and start it up again the sensitivity level goes back to 10! Is there something I'm doing wrong? I followed the instructions in the pdf file just so you know. I'd REALLY appreciate help. BTW I'm using the Wii.

agh I'm getting so mad with the whole MIDI USB cable crap. I ordered it over a week ago and still haven't even gotten the e-mail that says it's been shipped.

and the first time I tried to order it was TWO weeks ago until they sent me an E-MAIL telling me they don't accept E-MAILS.

just wow.

so then today I messaged them and was like "wtf is it sent?" and they were annoyed-like and said "we don't deal with RedOctane's problems" (it was on Activision customer support.) and the answer of course was no.

BLAHHHHGH

Just to point out since some people are saying it's being slow for the confirmation email.. I don't think they're exactly consistant with them. I got the Confirmation email the day after the cable got to me.. (might have been the night it got here, but nonetheless, I got the cable before the email)

Ok, I got my tuning kit today, but the "USB Audio Device" isn't a choice in my dropdown menu for the software, and none of the options register hit on the drums...

EDIT: I just did it with one of the other options and it worked fine...Woot for good drumset now!

got the cable, it passed the TEST test, I calibrated and saved, but it doesn't seem to have done anything. I bring back up the drum tuner program and is it saying everything is back at 10, or that's just the default setting shown?

Is anyone else having problems with the program? Mine won't even open up because it claims to have an error EVERY time. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling like 3 times. Wtf?
