Here are the screen shots. When the pedal was fully closed the note when hitting the bow was the right (bow closed) note. But before that no note changing was happening while moving the pedal more and more to the closed position.

Can you see yourself in these screenshots? I cannot, the resolution is too bad. Also you can attach screenshots to posts directly, without using photobacket. When taking screenshots next time take separately screenshots of the pedal Levels and Notes.

The conroller uses Hall effect sensor. It´s the polarity of the magnet that is the reason for reversing the levels.

So when the pedal is open the pedal output signal is high and when the pedal is closed the signal is low?

This is correct. I´m sorry for the images. I keep on forgetting how to present them.

Here are the images again. Hopefully they are better this way.

Also, I don´t have the screenshots for this latest info. I talked in the phone with my friend and we found out that as the values for OPEN/SEMI OPEN/HALF OPEN/CLOSED were changed around all the other notes started to appear for bow when pedal was moved from open to closed while hitting bow. I assume this issue could be caused by first off the backwards thinking of the values set for each state of the pedal. Also the curve used for the pedal movement Which would explain the intervals when the notes start to change between open and closed states.

We shall look more into this and keep working things out but if you have any sugestion which way to go that would be great too! As always, thank you!

My only guess is that the Open/Closed/SemiOpen/HalfOpen Levels are not set correctly in relation to using 'Reverse Levels'

This is my conclusion too. I will post more information if the problem doesn´t solve itself. Thanks!
