HI
I have a little problem...

I have a kit of sinthex and Im trying to use like a midi mallet controller
to trigger vibraphone marimbas and sinth sounds.
questions:
1)Its the keyboardpedal conected in the pedal hihat input for this purpose?
2)I cant to set the simply pedal of sustain (thats should to send a midi cc control sustain to module of sound) on the inputs of megadrum.And i dont understand the function of the jumpers (hi/low impedance and polarity. (I suppose
I dont connect the jumpers in the pcb for caution of fry.
Some one can help me please?
All suggestions are appreciate !!!
THANKS A LOT
MEGADRUM ROCKS!!!!

As far as I know a sustain pedal is just a switch so it can send only two extreme CC values - 0x00 and 0x7f and nothing in between.
Set the HiHat pedal jumper on the board so that it goes to the low impedance HiHat pedal input.
Set the HiHat pedal type to F.Contr
Set AltIn to No
Adjust LowLevel and HighLevel.

Hi

OK I will setting as you mentioning,

thanks a lot

Does anybody know, would it be possible to sustain all the notes on the megadrum somehow?

Thanks!

I can't imagine why you would want to that, but one way is to plug a keyboard into the midi in and use a sustain pedal

i'm using megadrum as a mallet controller, like a digital vibraphone. And want to sustain all tones, like it can be done on a vibraphone (or a piano).

Got the hihat cc number to 64 (sustain) now. It's sustaining all notes, but can't control sustain on/off yet. On my way!

Thanks

I can switch on sustain with a momentary footswitch now, but I'm not able to switch it off. So every note I play after I sustained is eeeteeernaaalll

Got the ground connected to the ring of a mono female jack connector and the low impedance to the tip. I'm using a simple Quiklok ps-25 momentary sustain footswitch.

Hihat settings:
Type: Footcontr
CC#: 64
Low: 63
High: 64

Anybody an idea what could make the sustain shut off when the pedal is released?

1. Make sure MegaDrum sends a required CC messages when the pedal pressed and depressed as I suggested in viewtopic.php?p=18634#p18634
2. Make sure the software recognizes these CC message as triggers for sustain on and sustain off.

Thanks! I'm sure the hardwaresynth i'm sending the cc messages to is able recieve them as i tried with another midi controller.

I'm not sure if i get the first 'hihat pedal' right in this sentence, is that 'pedal power' connection 40?

Set the HiHat pedal jumper on the board so that it goes to the low impedance HiHat pedal input.

Yes but a simple switch type HiHat pedal should work even without power.
