I assume for the 3 tones:Mylo wrote:Are these bell piezo wired to be switches?
I’m no EE but it seems to me the best way to get these metal cymbals to work well with dynamics and swells and all that would be to use piezo in all three zones but wire the edge and bell to act like switches.
Bow (piezo) - velocity sensitive as expected
Edge (switch) - switch says 'you've hit the edge! - but I'll use bow velocity data to work out how hard'
Bell (piezo) - very little bow vibration data, so relies on own velocity to determine how hard.
On Roland, this is 2 inputs. Module uses internal crosstalk parameters to cancel bow input, when bell triggered.
If this is correct, isn't implementing a 'special reject' crosstalk (as Yamaha modules put it) the obvious solution here? (where the ride bell, special rejects the ride bow)
I presume having a specific crosstalk cancellation option available will also be useful in other cases? (highhat and snare pads sharing the same rack arm for instance, as is the case for the Yamaha DTX modules)
