A new firmware and MegaDrum Manger version released. This is a further work on the new pedal handling algorithm. Added 2 new settings: ChckDead and ChkCrv. Chick and splash handling in the new algorithm uses 4 settings:
MinVlcty
MaxVlcty
ChckDead
ChkCrv
When Pedal->New Algrthm" is set to Yes:
If you press/release your pedal longer then ChkDead time period then no chick/splash will be triggered. To find right setting for it, navigate to Pedal->ChkDead and see detected values for various press speeds.
If you press/release your pedal slower then MinVlcty but shorter than ChkDead then chick/splash will have velocity 1.
If you press/release your pedal faster then MaxVlcty then chick/splash will have velocity 127 if started from full open or below 127 if started from lower position.
If you press/release your pedal with a velocity between MinVlcty and MaxVlcty then chick/splash will have velocity between 127 and 1 depending on where the press started and the press velocity.
ChkCrv is obviously used to apply desired velocity Curve to chick/splash notes.
In my tests with my opto pedal controller I had MinVlcty around 10, MaxVlcty around 200 and ChkDead around 300. Best feel I had with S2Custom9 Curve.
This new algorithm is still under development but I will not make further changes until I have more (prompt) feedback on it.
