DIY Yamaha 3 Zone Style Cymbal - Edge Problems

[coralgol]

I don't understand what third switch on Roland cymbals you are talking about and how it is relevant to your DIY Yamaha style cymbal.

I thought the Roland cymbals have 3 switches. 1 Bell 2 Edge. first edge switch on the cymbal for edge sound. Second edge under the cymbal for choke.

You said the Yamaha Cymbals work like the roland cymbals but with other wiring.

Here you can see a Yamaha pcy135 pic inside:

There you can see 3 switch cables.

I just dont understand how choke works with just 2 switches. If I press Bell there is bell sound. If i press edge there is edge sound.
can you explain that?

The edge switch serves for both edge sounds (when hit) and for chokes (when pressed) so there is no need for a separate, electronically, choke switch. Of course, you can place as many as you want switches in parallel in different places but electrically it will still be one switch.

Ok I solved the problem with bell and edge. I updated the firmware and made your tutorial again, now it works. But choke still doesn't work. I will upload some screens from midiox tomorrow.
