It's plug-n-play. Once you plug your PD-125 in, rimshots are autoconfigured.
On a serious note, translate.google.com does pretty good translation from many European languages into English.

megadrum non autoconfigured?
PD125 input megadrum?

You have to set:

SnareH -> Dualhead = Yes
SnareR -> Type = Piezo

I'm sorry, ........
I just received a head / Cross Stick. non rimshots.
I see MIDIOX, not rimshots-note send.

No offence, but it is really hard to understand what you're trying to say.

Now I think that I understand what he is saying. He wants to trigger head, crosssticks and rimshots with the same pad.
With the settings he has, he can play the snare and the cross stick sounds in his sampler, but he is not being able to make a rimshot sound no matter how hard he hits the rim od the pd-125.

mr.xiro, with megadrum, you can only trigger two sounds in a pd-125. You can use other midi tools like Bome Midi Translator or Edrum Monitor to make a rim midi note to split in two depending on how hard you hit the pad.

But, if you want to send Rimshots, simply change the "Note" value of the SnareR input to the rimshot midi note. I don't know which sampler are you using so I cannot say you more

[mr.xiro]

wow ....
megadrum not support rimshots. megadrum only Dual-trigger (head / Rim).
I use ADDICTIVE DRUMS+BFD2.
thank.

[dmitri]

Wow....
Set SnareH->DualHead to No
Put SnareH and SnareR into its own XTalkGroup
With tial and error set XTalk between 1 and 3 on both SnareH and SnareR
With trial and error adjust Threshold and HighLevel on both SnareH and SnareR
Physically isolate the snare from all other pads.

With properly adjusted settings
1) hits on the head will send only head notes (head shots)
2) hits on the rim will produce only rim notes (cross stick)
3) simultaneous hits on the head and the rim will produce both head and rim shots. If midi sampling software is smart enough
you can make it to produce whatever sound you want or leave it as it is

Don't see how it is relevant to the topic of this thread.

This is the biggest lie in the roland manuals. I own a Roland TD-12 and what that image says in completely false. With that image they teach you how a rimshot is done and how a cross-stick is done in the real life, but you cannot do both techniques "exactly" as in the image. A Roland module only sends two midi notes for the snare, that is: head and rim (rim can be configured as a crossstick sound OR a rimshot sound). If you have heard both sounds coming out of a roland module is because you can get both DEPENDING on HOW HARD you hit the rim, no matter if you hit the mess or not, in fact, you can get rimshots playing like the "cross-stick" image and get cross-sticks playing the snare as in the other image.

Other thing is that you want to play the 3 sounds with a sampler like Addictive drums. Then, what you have to do is use an additional software like MIDI-OX, Bome midi translator or Edrum Monitor. Configure them so you get a different midi note depending on the strength of your hit and you will get those three sounds
