Roland VH11 cannot configure the edge Zone

Hello Folks,
I first tried to build a hall effect sensor hi hat but gave up on this, because I tried several times with different sensors but never got it work, so I switched to the common VH11.
I didn´t made the resistor mod yet, but I probably see what the benefit will be because the resolution of the open to close transition is really tight. But I think I will do this right on the input in the module, later.
But actually everything except the edge zone works like a breeze, if I select the single piezo the bow area work fine and as "advertised". But when I switch to dual zone and set the edge to switch there´s always just Midi Note "0" instead of the given note in the setting for both zones and no sounds were triggered. I use the CC4 continous control function of ez drummer 2, all states between open close work in a smooth transition.
I just have to refine the chick/splash function, chick seems to be OK, but splash is quite difficult to achieve.
I use EZ Drummer 2 as sound source, but it seems like the problem is in my megadrum settings. I am at work now, but it would be nice if somebody would like to check my settings later, when I put my settings as screenshots in here later.
I read and see so much support in here for many issues, hopefully somebody can help me out, because for me it´s inacceptable to just use one of two zones, for the price I paid for the VH11 :cry: :oops:
Because it´s ridiculous expensive for what it is.

By the way, can anybody show me how to open up the casing from Dmitri, which screws, for the resistor mod. I´m a bit afraid to loosen the wrong ones, so that the pcb inside get loose.

I got the Megadrum 32 Input version with the aluminum case. Help would be really appreciated.

Thanx in advance,

André

For configuring the switch edge zone see http://www.megadrum.info/forums/viewtop ... f=3&t=3177
If you are still having problems after adjusting Threshold, post screenshot of your settings here and describe what the problem is with these settings.

I think adding a 10k resistor to the cable between tip and sleeve is much easier. But if you want to do it inside the module then opening the case is quite easy - you just unscrew screws on both left and right side of the top cover of the module.

Hello Dmitri,
see my setting with just bow enabled this all states chick/splash and all states between open and close working. A bit tight but that´s because I don´t have a resistor between tip and ring now.

Thanks for your reply

Hello Folks,
can anybody put a screenshot from his hi hat configuration with bow and edge for a VH11 in here.
Hopefully I can find out what I have to change in my settings, thanks.

Rock on,

André
