Setting for CY5 with TD12

[daveybabes]

Hi

Can anyone tell me the best trigger setting for a CY5 using a TD12, can i use the VH11 or CY8? or whatever?

Never tried a CY-5, but I would think that a CY-8 setting tweaked to fit what you want will be about right.

The CY-5 manual says use CY6 on a TD-12.

Aha!, it's the old next number in the list rule.... how could I have missed that SuperBruce to the rescue again - what would we do without him?.... he's an international treasure

[BarT]

So sorry

Just thought the official answer might help, though there's probably virtually no difference between CY6 and CY8 settings.

What is there to be sorry about? It was a compliment.... truely, what WOULD we do without you!?!

ok ok! break it up boys, i don't wanna see a smiling drum and an impatient cat getting all gooey i set it on VH11 and it's kinda ok, set it on VH12 and it's downright weird and tried CY6 and 8 and those seem the same so i'm leaving it on CY8. I do have another question for you clever clogged duo

Right! the VH11 is recommended to be set on to the VH11 trigger yeah? well what makes that hi hat any different to a CY5 and FD8? i mean it's rubber and plastic with a piezo on bow and a rim switch ? so why the special setting with it's own trigger? does it work differently to other cymbals? is it made differently? or just an expensive folly?

Well, first it contains it's own controller. It is also built differently. Subtle changes in design and material can have an effect on triggering and Roland was thoughtful enough to pre-tweak it for you. You could probably set the Trigger to CY-8 and tweak the settings till it works right. But using the VH-11 settings will get you there faster.

[daveybabes]

aha oh!

Aha! i got ya, different build design = different trigger required as it's a much different animal compared to a CY8 etc yep yeah i saw a schematic of that controller looks very good, i don't think a diy attempt could get that result quite as good. mmm may ditch the diy plan ? dunno

I still can't afford a real one ...


mmm i used "different" 3 times oops now 4

I will double check but I think my CY5 is set to VH11. Will let you know tonight. Works like a charm

Right ok - thanks - it sure does boggle the old brain but highly enjoyable

Well, if you used a different word it would be different.

Hi Daveybabes -

I also did this, and it definitely works a treat. I really wanted to keep the portability of the CY-5, so this makes a very good compromise.
