Missing HiHat hits

[thenewdrummer]

I have a Alesis Nitro HH foot pedal and the Alesis cymbal.

With edrumin the range of the pedal is really better, but I found that when I change the foot position sometimes the first 1-3 hits are lost. (I don't see them in edrumin either) and after that it starts to hit again.

If I stay always at the same foot position, there's never missing hit.

Is there a setting I could use to fix it ?

You probably have the hihat xTalk control set too high.

I had this issue and lowering the cross talk (on the hi-hat pedal page) fixed it as Rob recommends

Can confirm that the crosstalk settings are really, really sensitive, and not just on the hihat. I was having issues with a CY-14 crash cymbal triggering erratically, and I was ready to take it apart to see what the problem was until I remembered I had set the crosstalk to 24 — waaaay more than needed. I reset it back to the default 15 and the issue went away. Just another little thing to keep in mind when dialing in your settings.

Thanks it fixed my problem.

It was at 50 and I had to place it to something like 5.

Just for personal information, why crosstalk on the pedal? I understand on a pad or cymbal. How vibration can go in the pedal?

Is it because it takes control of the hihat cymbals? I understand maybe for impact mode?

Closing the pedal with a hi-hat mounted on a normal stand will trigger the cymbal pad. Pedal crosstalk cancellation ensures the foot 'chick' sound is triggered and ignores the pad vibration.

Impact is the mode for the 2 hat style (VH13) but the stand mounted controller (VH11 / Goedrum) is classed as 'pedal' as the information sent to eDRUMin is the same type as a pedal.

You're right that a pedal controller with an isolated hi-hat pad is already immune to pedal crosstalk.

The hi-hat pad crosstalk is incase the snare or cymbal share the same mounting arm (for example).

I see, thanks for the explanation.

I think you left it at 24 in your CY-14 preset... So I was seeing missing hits on my hihat until I saw that... back to 15 and it's all good

Not sure if 15 is still the default but I'm using 7-8 now on all triggers that share a rack and that works fine too.
