FootBlaster triggers dropping hits

Post by Scotsman »

Hi, I use Footblaster triggers on 2 kick separate pedals with a splitter going into a single input on the eDrumin10. I'm getting dropped hits every other bar or so, in other words the occasional bass drum hits drop out and are not audible. I've checked and rechecked the trigger adjustments on the pedals so it's not that. I thought I might not be using the right trigger type for this so what is the appropriate trigger type to use on the eDrumin 10?
Thanks!

I saw this post from a while back:
Missing kick hits
viewtopic.php?f=34&t=845
I see that if I have too much gain on the other inputs, it might apply too much cross talk cancellation. Will give this a try today and report back.

It turns out all my gain levels were quite low so that was not the problem.
So does anyone know the appropriate trigger type setting for the Footblaster triggers?

Try using the acoustic trigger pad type. Are you sure it's not a problem with your decay setting?

Hi Rob, thanks for getting back. I changed the input to acoustic trigger, and went through the setup again as per your Transient Scanning Controls video. I'm still getting a bit of drop outs but it is better. Here is a screenshot - I notice the transients are minimal compared to a standard mesh head - I guess because there is no resonance at all in this type of trigger?
thanks
