Please help me about hit hat Config.

[tapi]

Hello everybody !!!

I'm a newbee. I'm near from the good config but I'm fighting with the most important....HH !

For beginning, my hit hat is acoustic cymbal with foam. I put just one piezo on the top cymbal and a fsr under the pedal (I don't put resistance for the moment, I don't know what for ?).
Does it need a piezo on the bottom cymbal ?

My first problem is a gunshot when my pedal is near closed. I search a solution with CC RdcLvl and threshold of the edge and bow but nothing to do.

My second is differences of gain between the semi open or semi close like a falling of sound ???

And at least, I probably a little bit silly but I don't understand the new parameters. If someone could explain to me differently because my splash and chick are not good.
I try to understand but there's too much smoke !

Is someone could help me ? I have searched in the forum, test and retest but nothing to do...

Thanks

What for? You don't need a piezo on the bottom cymbal. Chicks are generated from readings of pedal movement/position.

My first problem is a gunshot when my pedal is near closed. I search a solution with CC RdcLvl and threshold of the edge and bow but nothing to do.

Gunshot of what?

I don't quite understand the question. What gain are you talking about?

Thanks for the answer.
Sorry if you don't understand it's not easy to describe and I'm not very comfortable with english.

So, ok for the bottom, I just have a doubt suddenly.

Gunshot :
When I close my pedal there's a chick, normal.... But when I release very slowly the pedal, suddenly several chick sounds appears like gunshot and don't stop if I stay on the same pedal position.

The second problem is when I hit several times the HH during I open the pedal. It seems like the different notes (open, semi open, half open) don't have the same output level or like the sound of one cut the other.
Do you understand me a little bit more ?

My config :

I just realize that it's configure for 2 or 3 way but I've just one. But I don't think that the cause of my problem !?!

If you have a idea, thanks very much for your time

First, settings names in blue color means MDM doesn't know if these settings are in sync or not between MDM and MegaDrum. You have to send these settings to MegaDrum.

Gunshot :

So it is chicks. In this case you need to adjust Chick Threshold. Also I would recommend not to use 'New Algorithm' for now - not too many people tested it.

The second problem is when I hit several times the HH during I open the pedal. It seems like the different notes (open, semi open, half open) don't have the same output level or like the sound of one cut the other.

Not sure I understand this. Any new hit on a cymbal (HiHat) is supposed to cut any previous sound from the same cymbal. Velocity of any hits on the HiHat is taken from the same piezo - all MegaDrum does is choosing a right note to send depending on the HiHat pedal position. If it appears that velocities change for the same hit strength but for various pedal positions then either your HiHat cymbal is not yet configured correctly and velocity changes too much for the same hit strength even without pressing the pedal or your drum synth doesn't produce the correct output volume for various HiHat notes with the same velocity.
