Hi everyone,
I use a CY-5 as my hi-hats and it's been acting up lately. If I hit it with the same velocity repeatedly, the volume of the hits changes, there are dead spots, and it also double triggers. This doesn't happen all the time, but enough to annoy me and make it very noticeable when I play. I looked at the stereo jack itself and there are two small grooves dug into the metal of the plug, I'm assuming this is from years of use. It doesn't seem to affect the plug at all because if I plug it into a different pad, it triggers just fine. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem? Is my hi-hat indeed dying and should I just get a new one? I'm not an electrical expert by any means so I'm not sure I would know what's going on inside the trigger itself if I were to take it apart. Thanks for any help!
