Basically I managed to get my kit to register but the pads don't work.

What happens when you try to set the pad bindings?

dawn crypt
#

it works for like a second then it just shuts down

oh i have a kit with the same brain i think . i have to turn them on before opening the game and when i get in i have to tap a pad for the game to properly register it

nothing

i forget if the Turbo has MIDI ports; if it doesn't you'll need to find/get a powered USB hub (as in one that has its own power supply which plugs into a wall outlet) and try running it through that

fickle shell

i don't think it does 😔

The drum still works but something just makes it stop on the PC

yeah, like i said it's most likely your USB ports

#

Alesis kits are very picky with how much power they get, even though they're already self-powered

dawn crypt
#

So unplug some things or?

did you not read what i said just above at all? lol

dawn crypt

I do have a power surge protector plug thing but Idk lol

#

that is entirely unrelated

dawn crypt
#

Sorry but I am not smart with midi or electricity stuff

#

do you have any USB hubs laying around?

#

and do any of them have their own power bricks?

dawn crypt
#

I don't think so.

#

that's the only thing i can suggest trying in this scenario

#

but as a sanity check you could also try using it in CH and seeing if the same thing happens there

dawn crypt
#

I did try with CH earlier and got nothing.

then getting a powered USB hub will be your best bet currently
