3 different notes on Snare ?

[jerash]

Hello,

Now the whole kit works perfectly with a basic setup I try to configure the snare to get 3 sounds :

1. Open hit : hitting the mesh head
2. Sidestick : hitting the side (reggae style)
3. Rim shot : hitting both the mesh head and side at the same time

I've added a second piezzo for the rim, on the ring of the jack.
Both piezzo have the same GND on the jack's sleeve.
I can actually get only 2 sounds

The normal open hit sound is ok.
Then the only other midi note going out from the megadrum is from "DBNote". According to the configuration manual, the note would be active "when the rim/edge switch is pressed", so this should be my rimshot.

I'm not able to send the midi note from "BNote"....

So, can someone tell me if this is possible to have three different sounds, and if it is possible with 2 piezzo ?

thanks!

How did you configure the pad in general (Head Dual?, Rim Piezo? Levels?) and the DualMidPoint/DualMidWidth?

Here is the complete config for the dual head pad :

Btreshold x

The main piezo is big (32mm), so i have a voltage divider, and gain set to 1, and the sensitivity is REALLY good now, with a midi velocity range perfectly adapted from very soft to very hard hit.
The rim piezzo is smaller (12mm), without voltage divider.

I have only two different notes coming out the megadrum : D2/E2 (alternate) when hitting the head, and D#2 when hitting the rim.

let me know if i have some value not correct

also i tried to make the SnareH threshold bigger (up to 80).... but nothing changed, still not able to get the F2 sidestick
