Having trouble programing the LPD8...

Well, I've searchd the internet, I've searched the Forums here, and I've read the "manual" and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the changes I make in the LPD8 editor to upload to the LDP8. I've done it with my DAW (Cubase Studio 5) closed, and open. I've uninstalled and re-installed the LPD8 editor, it just will not upload my custom presets.

Here's what I follow:

1. Open LPD8 Editor, selecting the LPD8 "USB..." item from the drop down list, and clicking the "Done" button.
2. Select Preset #1
3. Change preset midi channel to 10 (it's going to be an ezdrummer preset).
4. Change the Note #'s on the pads to what I want.
5. Save Preset
6. Load Preset
7. Click the "Commit - Upload" button
8. Click the green "OK" button in the "Upload Successful" pop up window
9. Open Cubase, load my template for recording
10. Open the EZDrummer panel so I can se when it's done loading the files it needs, all 268mb of 'em.
11. Hit the pads on the LDD8 device.
12. Nothing happens.

When I do not load the preset I made, the LPD8 works, but the presets make no sense of course for ezdrummer. And all the notes I used are within the range of ezdrummer...I used their map.

If I can't get this to work, I think I'll take it back. It's a great pad controller, but the software and documentation is not even usable in my opinion.

that's very interesting.
so no problems with your MPC?

No problems with it transmitting to my DAW, just won't accept any presets I try to upload.

i've never had much luck with controllers, presets and mapping.
