Does anyone happen to know the pinout of the 25 way snake socket on an Alesis Surge Electronic Drum Kit? - my old 70's band has got together for another gig, and the drummer has just changed his Alesis DM6 drum module for an Alesis Surge drum module. He only got the module, and is using his DM6 snake lead, which from what I can gather is wired differently to the one for the Surge. I'm doing the PA, so am expected to sort things out! 😀
Basically everything seems to work, other than the Hi-hat Controller, which does absolutely nothing, I've had the controller to pieces, and have just changed the membrane switch inside (just in case - as it's cheaply available from Aliexpress). Unfortunately, I don't have access to the unit, or the lead, to play with - or in particular a Surge so I could test it.
While I say 'everything else' works, all the plugs seem to be plugged in the wrong places, and he's presumably swapped everything over with the controls? - but to be fair, it sounds pretty damn good 😀
Googling finds a bit on info, but none of it sounds very confident, and if I'm going to wire a 25 way plug to socket for an adaptor, I'd like to be confident it's going to work.
Thanks for any helpful suggestions, other than shoot the drummer!!.
