Hi below is a post from the propellerheads forum. I am wondering if - as midipipe helped this mac user - midiox can help me.
I just bought the Alesis DM5 kit and had a trigger problem with the NN-XT. The NN-XT would only trigger randomly even though the MIDI and "Note On" lights would light up with every hit. I spent hours trying to figure out the problem and now have an easy solution. The reason it triggers a random sample is because the DM5 note duration is not long enough for the NN-XT to to play the sample but is just long enough for you to see midi activity. The super simple solution for this is to download a free MIDI utility program called MIDIPipe. MIDIPipe is Mac OSX only but I'm sure there is a similar Windows MIDI utility program. You can use this program to add a 10ms duration to the note and now my electronic drum set works perfectly!

thanks in advance

Short answer: yes.
Longer answer: you need to set up a mapping where the input message is mapped to itself if it's a Note Off (or Note On velocity zero) but set the "delay" option to 10ms or whatever.

Thanks for the answer.
Pretty new at midiox so is the below correct?
Midi map
DATA MAP
Ch Message V1Min V1Max V2Min V2Max C|Ch Message V1Min V1Max V2Min V2Max
* NoteOn * * 0 0 | * * * * 0 0
* NoteOff * * * * | * * * * * *
Wait for complete NRPN: Off, NRPN Data Incr: Off, Send Full NRPN: Off
Map is: On, PC Keyboard Mapping: Off
Sorry for perhaps a dumb question.
Neil.

Looks fine, assuming you've set the delays, too (which don't show there). Also, on the NoteOn, you could use -1 in the Set Output to side, too, for velocity (just to emphasise you're not changing it  ).
