Wich Best DIY HiHat Pedal-Cymbal

[dmitri]

Initially MegaDrum didn't support switch type pedals. It now does for some time. But of course variable type pedals are better than switch type.

OK,

but for the Hihat Cymbal what are your suggestions:

MILLENIUM MPS-400 STEREO BECKEN PAD - 49 euro

YAMAHA PCY-155 E-DRUM CYMBAL PAD - 111 euro

I would choose this one. I own a Yamaha pcy-150s (old version of this) and with the new firmware of megadrum I can get the three zones only with one jack cable. Besices, sensitivity and feeling is quite better than roland cy8. I had onces 2 cy8 and they were not very sensitive...

For example : 25 Kohms pot with a 5 Kohms resistor

Ok I've made my pedal with a 22k pot,

the pot really goes from the bottom to the center of the pot, but I cant get it to work right!

the only way to se a small change is to set param low to 171 and high to 172

there is something I can do to to extend the range

Thanks
