Yamaha 3-zone pads only triggering 2 zones

I have a couple Yamaha XP-80s and PCY-135s connected to the eDRUMin 8. The center zones are triggering fine (center snare and cymbal bow), but the 2 switches are both triggering the same midi note. Both the rimshot and side-stick edge zones on the XP-80 are triggering the side-stick (SS) on the software, and both the edge and bell zones of the cymbals are triggering the bell zone. I am using the XP-80 preset and the PCY-135 preset on the software. This problem is consistent across multiple pads.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi, it's a bug that has been fixed in version 2.3.0.8, available from the downloads page.

Thank you for the quick response Rob! This issue is persisting after verifying that I was running version 2.3.0.8 as well as reinstalling the software. I updated to the newest version 2.3.0.9 today and am still having the issue. The system I am running on is an older MacBook Pro with macOS Big Sur Version 11.7.9. I have also attached screenshots of the eDRUMin settings for the snare and cymbal.

Click that icon next to the orange exclamation mark on the bottom left hand side of the UI.

Well, it looks like I had updated the software but not the unit itself! Clicked on the icon and updated the unit and now everything is working great! Thanks Rob!

I'm having what appears to be almost this same problem with a Yamaha TP100, except that the switches are triggering the RS rather than SS note. I'm on firmware 2.3.1.16 and have no indication that there's a firmware update available.

This seems new. I recall that previous firmware versions worked correctly with all 3 zones for me.

I'll test tomorrow. What eDRUMin are you using?

It's an eDRUMin 4 Revision 2.
