Another "stupid" question...

If I do a single zone hi-hat setup (only one piezo), where should I connect the piezo wires? Ceramic to tip, metallic to sleeve?

Doesn't matter really.

That's how I did it actually (just chose something), but then I noticed that there are HiHatB (bow) and HiHatE (edge) in the settings.

So now I'm wondering - which one is my piezo now? I have connected ceramic to tip and metallic to sleeve. How does MD determine if this is Bow or Edge?

I hope my questions are of some value to some new users at some point :)

If a piezo is connected to a tip then it is Bow (or Head).
If a piezo is connected to a ring then it is Edge (or Rim).
