Is my Snare Trigger too hot?

Can you do the following test?
1. Set HighLevel to 64. Set HighLevel Auto to Yes. Hit the pad a dozen of time with medium strength. What HighLevel do you get?
2. Set HighLevel to 64 again. Set HighLevel Auto to Yes. Hit the pad a dozen of time with full strength. What HighLevel do you get?

Hi Dmitri,

here are your results

Gain 4
medium strong hits: 759
full strength: 759

Gain 0
medium strong hits: 589
full strength: 589

... I cant describe "medium strong" any better, but i promise, it's far (enogh) away from full strength.

Does this help?

Based on this results it looks like the signal from the pad is the same for medium and strong hits. I cannot say why. You may try it with an inline 10k resistor and see if it makes a difference.

As mentioned in my previous post i tried a mixer (volume fader) which worked fine!
Is this solution also OK or will it produce bad signal in any terms for megadrum?

I would suggest to test it with a ~10k resistor, not a fader, and see the result.
