TranslationI have a RHH135 and currently will need to replace it as I see it's not supported for use?
Where is a good place to start, Roland seems an obvious choice? I have a spare PCY135 I can use so a controller is an option, any recommends on that front also?
HI-Hat controller to use with ED10
Re: HI-Hat controller to use with ED10
Your Yamaha hihat is supported, but it's only going to give you 4 or five hihat positions.

Oh! That's good, thanks for confirming Rob!
What's the best type of controller for a good full range of motion?

Re: HI-Hat controller to use with ED10
Also curious how the Alesis DM-10 controller triggers.
I have a replacement coming soon under warranty. I bought the ED10 and ED4 before it could arrive so I've been using an ancient Roland FD-7 (I think) which works great for triggering multiple level samples and I wonder if the DM-10 is more limited since I think it uses distinct pressure pads, and in the original module (now sold) only had a few distinct levels. That may just be the modules' limitation though.

Re: HI-Hat controller to use with ED10
I use both a Roland FD-9 and an FD-7, and the FD-9 is my current favorite. I have found that the foot chick of my FD-7 provides too strong a signal, but the FD-9 works very well in terms of range of motion and chick sensitivity/strength for the eDRUMin. The one property of the FD-9 that I don't like vs the FD-7 is that the FD-9 has a spongy feeling vs a solid feeling when a chick is played. This was a design concession that Roland had to make so as to make the FD-9 more quiet. It's something that I've gotten used to, but I do wish it had a more solid feel at the end of a chick stroke.
The FD-8 is also probably good if it's relatively now and working properly, but it has known issues with reliability of the FSR that provides range of motion.
If you get an FD-9 or FD-7, I can provide you with my settings if you'd like.
