New Roland CY-15, bell extends to bow 1 inch

[lalo]

I got an edrumin10 R2 and a brand new CY-15RMG, I set it as Dual Cymbal with bell sense and used the CY-15 preset, however I'm getting bell sounds 1 inch below the bell, I put a sticker on it, above the sticker from the bottom up to where the bell starts I get the bell. Is this how it should work?

I'll make another small improvement in version 1.6.0.2, which should help a bit. You can always you two inputs instead of bell sense.

I did that but the bell was hard to trigger, I had to whack it really hard to get a sound, like on any Roland module… I just increased the bell scaler though, I forgot to increase the gain and modify the curve, will try again

[Rob]

That won't help... Bell triggering Roland style is crap.

[lalo]

Indeed, even with gain and bell scaler set to max it still sucks, bell triggers sporadically

With the .02 beta all my hits in the yellow sticker now trigger the bow, great work!

I just found another bug....you'll like build 3. I'll post in 5 mins.

I have a similar oddity with my CY-15R wired up with 2 leads (I haven't tried single lead bell-sense yet).

When I crash the edge of the cymbal, I either get a crash or a bell trigger. I've done careful calibration but the problem persists intermittently. It was working fine with 3 zones on the TD-20 but I can't see a reason for this. I've even made sure the bell/edge aren't reversed in Addictive Drums as it's possible to do that.

The cymbal bow and bell separation is great but I never know whether I'll get a crash or bell when I ride the edge!

You're sure you don't have your cables mixed up? What firmware version are you using?

Thanks for replying Rob.

The firmware is what was loaded when the units arrived - 1.5.0.21.

The cables in the cymbal remained in-place when I swapped out my TD-20 so no change there.

The Bow/Edge cable is in input 5 and the Bow/Bell is in input 6.

Does this make a difference? I know the TD-20 had specific inputs for the cymbal but I'm not sure if that applies to the eDRUMin.
