False triggering and diy cymbal

[cagrisari]

Hi,
I bought a "56inputs ARM based module" 2-3 months ago from Dmitri. For now, I have set only snare drum, toms and floortoms with "dual zone" method. I'm going to set cymbals next.

Although I have read many of articles in forums, I can't fix problems written below.

1- Although snare drum and floortom are not connected to each other physically, I recieve signal from each one when I hit one of them. For example: I hit snare, I recieve snare+floortom(but low level) signal.

I expect that XTalk group and XTalk Level parameters work well in case two pads are connected to each other physically.(Snare drum and floortoms are not connected physically in my setup.)

What should I do to seperate each pad's signal? (I checked XTalk parameters)

2- I am going to start building cymbals setup. There are different designes. Which design fit for Megadrum? I am going to try 3 zone Ride with choke, 2zone Crash with choke and 2 zone Hi-hat.
Which design is easy to set and use for Megadrum?

3- What is a "switch box" for cymbals? What does it do? Does it contain a piezo?

4- Which material should I use while building a "choke switch" to gain maximum conductivity should they contact to cymbals?

5- Piezo's which are fixed to cymbals be fixed with should double side plaster or hot glue? Does it make sense?

Thank you for answers.
Regards.

What are Threshold and Gain on these two inputs?
Can you take a picture of how they both mounted in your setup?

Sorry.
I will take you pictures about this tomorrow.

I solved it. Thank you.

What was it?

[cagrisari]

The problem was threshold and gain value. I pulled down and solved :S
But I have another problem with snare. Is there any other way split rim and head?
I checked mid point and midth point width values but still I can't fix problem.
When I hit both of head and rim(shell) at the same time, I recieve both of them sound.
If I solve this problem, I feel like a king.

One problem per topic. Create another topic with a detailed problem description including type of the pad and all the relevant settings on it.

Ok. Thank you.
