Oops...this could happen even to the best.

Just for curiousity...did you still have such a small gap between the low and high level?

I got the chance to test the td30 with vh13 for a hour last week and my feeling after have been playing with the system was that my MegaDrum with my VH11 is equal/slightly better in performance and precision seen from a pedal angle - however, i have still some work todo on the hihat bow/edge triggering on my system to make it to be equal. I do also truly beleive that the sound coming out from my Addictive Drums/Metal AdPak is way beyond the sounds found in the TD30.

On the roland TD30 associated pads i believe that roland have done something to create the extremly wide dynamics found on the pads when playing softhits...and changing to hard hits.

I really wonder how they do this....:-)

Yeah, my mind is scrambled... The difference in 'raw level' is now what it should be in comparison to your settings for example. With a 10k resistor, i have values of 898-1022. Meter is smooth as can be. I've been also trying to fine tune the bow/edge of my VH-12, and I am pretty happy with the sensitivity. I can play very soft to very hard on both the bow and edge and get enough separation between the two. Unfortunately what I am realizing now is, that in SD2 specifically, that each 'kit' has a different mapping for the high hat, so once I get one kit prepared and switch to another kit, the mapping is not the same, resulting in a mess. So, I am now trying to get a perfect MIDI note situation going with this hi hat so that it's consistent no matter what I want to play.

As far as pads are concerned, are you using a centrally located cone on the head or of to one side? My pads are disgustingly accurate as far as dynamics are concerned... Feels like a real drum and I'm very happy.

Small queston in regards to VH12 configuration does the hi Hat control need a TS cable or TRS cable I know the trigger is TRS for dual Zone. Thanks. I got the resistor for hihat installed by Dmitri

I received my module yesterday and getting there!

Hi!

I am quite sure that my VH11 was delivered with 2x TRS cables when i bought it. It was total news yesterday...that it might be mono...investigations required....

Thanks I have done investigation, and the td20 module can work with ts and trs cable as per some forum, not sure with the megadrums,but I manage to have good response chick splash with picture of ibanman, I tried your sysex file for the hihat but was a hit an miss for me but got me on the right track, I used picture posted from ibanman and working a lot better only problem cannot get the dual zone to work right , I have made some change now I have 2 note trigger at the same time when hitting hihat the hihat sound and crossstick sound hehe. I only have the hihat connected at this time

Will get more work tonight if you guys have any recommendation or anything let me know !

I picked up a vh-12 just the other day but was wondering what wires I should solder the resistor to in megadrum?

Hi!

If we talk about the pedal for vh-11/Vh-12, just install a 10-15 kohm beteende the tip and ring.

There are some posts about this on the forum. viewtopic.php?p=20778#p20778


Best Regards
