Sorry for the big build number jump. Changes in build 14:
  • Fixed ED10R2 plugged into ED10 sometimes shows ED4 icon.
  • Loading hihat presets now properly sets the pad function.
  • Entering a note by double clicking a note control will now audition the correct sound.
  • Note control will show 'AT' when not using choke.
  • Improved tool tip for choke note.
  • Double right-clicking a note control will no longer start editing it.
  • Fixed xTALK control on pedal editor not drawing correctly.
  • Various Cosmetic improvements.
  • Control application performance optimizations.
  • Stability improvements.

I've been using version 2.0.1.5 without problem.

I just went into advanced mode and changed the velocity curves on my hi-hat individually for edge, bow and bell

when I did that, the pedal just started acting weird (would and wouldn't close / open randomly).

I calibrated the pedal again. not fixed.

so I upgraded to 2.1.0.14

it improved the problem a lot but it is still there. it seems that the cc4 signal doesn't always get sent to the eDRUMin module unless the cymbal is struck first. I went out of advanced mode but it still happens.

so if I strike the hi hat with closed pedal, I get closed sound. then, on the next hit, if I open the pedal, sometimes I will get an open sound, but sometimes it will still be a closed sound until I hit it once

also, sometimes, I start playing with a closed pedal but just get an open pedal sound and when that happens it just stays open

It is random - sometimes works ok but sometimes it doesn't

running a lemon 3-zone 15" with a Roland fd9

Mac OS big Sur 11.6.8

SD3 (3.2.7) in Logic Pro 10.7.4

was working perfectly until I went into advanced mode and individuated the velocity curves

Can you please attach screenshots for your pedal and the hihat cymbal?

Thanks for the pics. Follow my suggestions below and let me know if the issue persists.

1. Turn off 'Fast Stepping'. That's probably the main issue.
2. Lower the xTalk control on the pedal editor page. Because the FD-9 is mechanically isolated from the hihat cymbal, you can probably set it to 0.
3. You might want to turn the polarity control on the pedal editor from 'auto' to 'Roland'.
4. Although not required for your setup, you might want to set the pad function for the hihat cymbal to 'Hihat 1 Cymbal'.

ok so followed all directions

edge and bell are all good - pedal works fine with both

but it is dodgy with bow hits - mostly doesn't open but will occasionally open

if I leave the pedal open and hit the edge or the bell, then hit the bow, it closes the hi hat

if I watch what's going on in the pedal editor, the behaviour looks fine

just to reiterate, it worked perfectly before I changed to advanced mode and set different curves for the different zones (first time I've done this but long overdue with this cymbal)

Please use the MIDI monitor to show the issue. That'll let me confirm if the problem is with the eDRUMin or your sampler.

So open the MIDI monitor, press and release the pedal, hit the edge and then hit the bow and then take a screenshot.
