pcy 135 as a 3way ride/hi-hat

[chain]

Hi!
So I have 2 pcy135 and am trying to get them to have 3 zones. I am starting with the ride.


I have done the configuration process advised on megadrum configuration.
Right now I have bow sound and bell sound but no edge. What can I do? But the weirdest thing happens. My choke is working on the bell!
How weird is that?

Raise Threshold by 1 on the Edge until pressing/releasing the edge switches STARTS to generate Aftertouch messages (choking). Note the Threshold level you set as level1.
Continue to raise Threshold on the Edge by 1 until pressing/releasing the edge switches STOPS to generate Aftertouch messages (choking). Note the Threshold level you set as level2.
Set the Threshold on the Edge to (leve1+level2)/2.

Its working, thanks so much,
Any advice on improving the separation between bow and edge hits? Since I cannot use threshold what other settings should I use?
Thanks

What is the problem with zones separation between the bow and the edge?

When I hit the edge lightly it only triggers bow. I can only get edge sounds when I hit the edge hard and it also triggers the bow.

If you hit the edge slightly it doesn't make - it is a switch so you have to hit it with some force to trigger it.

You need to raise DynLevel and DynTime on both Bow and Edge and possibly Threshold on the Bow.
