OK so it arrived its not a Silicon Mallet! it something ive not heard
of ...its a multi mallet...same thing almost...main differences are
its got only 2 not 3 octaves, Its about half the length and all the
electronics are built into the synth like case, no seperate box.
Anyway its exactly what I need as an addon for the kit. Now its all
fine except 6 of the 24 pads dont work...ive done some initial
investigation ...all 99 patches work fine, headphones fine, amp out
fine, midi fine. Took it apart , the top boards are 12 pads each and
have some sort of trigger proccessing board incorporated, so swapped
the 2 complete top sections round and the problem moves with the
section so I have either a partially duff processor card or some
knackered triggers. next stage is to swap the trigger processing
boards between the sections to try and identify if its the circuit
board or the rubber/wood trigger pads. Will keep you all posted and
will get some photos uploaded soon. its going on the backburner for
now as Im off to Stonehenge and then Glastonbury festival.
