15" Lemon cymbal to hot

[mprinz]

Hi,

my 15" Lemon cymbal I use as HiHat is also quite hot.
The bow signal is ok. The edge signal is clipping and so
giving already 127 velocities on medium hits.

Tests with my snare-is-to-hot-resistor-bread-board show,
that it will be good with a resistor in series, again.

Anybody of you guys having such issues?
I mean, I got 5 of these cymbals, and the other four are ok, also with a high signal but not clipping.

Maybe it's a mechanical crash cymbal on hihat stand vibration problem...I don't know.

Thanks for your comments!

you can fine tune it by putting a potentiometer in line.

Once you know the exact resistor value you need, you can take it out and add a simple resistor.

Just done.

Since it's 1:15 AM here I will do the tuning while playing tomorrow.

I also put a set of 10K ohms pots in the head and rim snare signal pathes.
A never ending story.

A bought linear pots. I guess log-pots would have been better for the tuning.
Because I need a voltage divider that gives me about 80-90% of the signal.
Now, I find it a bit difficult to adjust.

Good Night!

If it's just the edge switch, can you use the scaler on 0.5->0.9 within eDRUMin to manage these hits?

I've done this with my 15 lemon crashes

No, I have tried it, but I think, if I get this right:

Since it is just a scaling of the velocities and not the input gain,
it "saturates" to early as-well - not at 127 but at 127 * 0.8 then.
