I'm trying to make it so that it won't take such a hard hit to trigger it...I want to make it more sensitive I should say...any ideas on how to do that?
-
can you give us any information on how you have it set up so we can help you better?
i would turn the threshold down and sensitivity up in your module. As far as hardware goes you will have to tell us what you have.Last edited by BeyondStupidity; 05-23-08, 01:02 AM. -
I have a TD-6V...here is a pic of it...http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/P5210223.jpgComment

ok, i see. ummm i would say..... i dont know how stiff the foam between the head and piezo is, that may make a difference. the way i have my stuff mounted goes: cross bar, double sided foam disc the size of ceramic on piezo, then piezo with the ceramic side toward the head, then the foam cone(or block).Comment
-
Through my testing I have found for me at least stiff foam is betterComment
-
I put a longer piece of foam across where the piezo is...horizontally that is. Both beaters hit near the end of it. It's more sensitive BUT is still not picking up as easily as I want...anyone else have any ideas?Comment
-
is the foam block thick enough to be pressing up against the head hard?Comment
-
one of the wires may have come loose on the piezo.
try putting two piezos in in parallel, one for each beater (make sure you arent going to break them though (keep the head fairly tight to take the impact)Comment

I have also notice on the kicks that I have done that they seem to trigger better if the trigger is not directly in line with the beaters. I find that I get the best triggering with the piezo mount placed above or below where the beaters impact the head. also make sure the cross bar is very vigid or it will bend on impact, if you can move your crossbar by pushing on it with your fingers it's to flexible.Comment

Any other advice...still not really getting what I want even trying some of these things...Comment

What module do you have?Comment

TD-6V...I notice when I switch the the bass to the snare drum plug-in on the back and switch it to a KD sound(instead of a snare) it's really sensitive. I like but I wish the bass port was as sensitive.Comment

Having the piezo directly in front of the beater is usually not such a good idea since you can damage the piezo that way. Off to the side out of the way of direct impact will still trigger fine. Your foam should be in contact with the head at all times, slightly higher than the head so it is compressed slightly.Originally posted by Vunyos View Post
Try changing the pad type in the TD-6V .... You mentioned that it is more sensitive plugged into the snare input.... I doubt the input is more sensitive. More likely it is the trigger parameters that are set different. Try a mesh head pad type in the trigger parameters and raise the sensitivity if it needs it.I could tell you where to stick that piezo! ;)

See I don't know how or if you can change the sensitivity...I've tried. Can't seem to find it if it's an option.Comment

nevermind...found it finally in the ManuelComment
