potentiometer / force-sensing hihat controller compatibility

[redbullah]

i've found that force-sensing hihat controller here:
http://www.vdrums.com/forum/showthread. ... controller
is it compatible with megadrum? i'd also like to post my question here as well:

"i'm going to use this on a megadrum midi trigger and i'm a bit confused about the "closed-chick" and "heel-splash" sounds. all i see here is a force-sensing resistor but i don't get how chick and splash sounds are sensed here? is there some other sensors (like piezos or switches) for those sounds; or is it done by the module? (like, the module understands the signal as a chick, if the signal goes up from zero to top very fast, or as a splash if the signal goes up and down very fast)."

As long as the resistance varies sufficiently and gradually with the pressure then it will work with MegaDrum. What is the resistance of the this controller when it is open, semi-open, closed?

Splashes and Chicks are either generated by MegaDrum itself based on the HiHat pedal movement or by a sound synthesizer based on the HiHat MIDI CC messages received from MegaDrum.

Is this a question?

no, i mean, you asked for the resistance of the controller, so i did think you may find some information in the product page. all i could find resistance related is this:

"When no pressure is being applied to the FSR its resistance will be larger than 1MΩ."

the "MΩ" should have been "mΩ" i guess...

So from your link how will I know "What is the resistance of the this controller when it is open, semi-open, closed?"?
