Yamaha RHH-135 (Specification and Config)

[ignotus]

Post a screenshot of that pad's settings in MDM.

[Thanasis]

Here are the settings. I have trouble understanding the following midi mapping in drummica and where exactly in mdm I must put them.

60 HiHat pressed
61 HiHat closed
62 HiHat loose
63 HiHat 1/2 open
64 HiHat open
65 HiHat trashopen

[ignotus]

They go in the pedal notes settings. As you ony have 4 articulations in MD and drummic'a has 6, I'd leave out 60 and another one and assign the other 4 depending on how they sound. I don't know what "loose" or "trashopen" sound like.

As for your cymbal config - isn't the hi hat a 3-zone cymbal? Anyway, are you sure you have the correct threshold for the edge? Does it send aftertouch messages when you press it? Also, are those highlevels ok? If so, you should untick the HighLvl Auto box. You also seem to have assigned the same note to bow and edge, is this because there is only one articulation in drummic'a?

When setting the high level, tick the auto box and hit the cymbal a few times as hard as you are likely to hit it. If the high level hasn't gone up from 64 the press 'get'. This should be a ball park high level so untick the auto high level box.
I can't really help much with the hi hat as I have an allergy to them.

EDIT
And start off with a linear curve in MD. What you will find is that most libraries (even drum libraries) are assembled by folks using a keyboard and the velocities don't match edrums. The, much vaunted, Martin France drums being a case in point.

Saying that MD has only 4 articulations that means that it can only recognize 4 midi notes?
As for your second question, yes my hihat is RHH-135 3 zone with two stero cables, 1 for pad and 1 for pedal control.
What exactly do the highlevels stand for?

What exactly do the highlevels stand for?

It stands for the max velocity you are likely to reach.

When hitting I am getting this from mdm. I've also configured hihat based on this http://www.megadrum.info/content/hihat-pedal-settings
Why is it showing note G?

In 3 zone of pads what values must be entered?note,altnote,pressroll,dumpened and midpoint?

Any note you want. Usually AltNote and PressrollNote are left equal to the main note.

and midpoint?

For piezo/switch/switch pads/cymbals midpoint and midpoint width are meaningless so they're not adjustable. Instead you adjust 3rd zone Threshold. See BThreshold in http://www.megadrum.info/content/pads-settings
