Adding a cymbal to the TD12

[sopranos]

Hey eDrummers -

I have a completely stock (well until now anyway) TD12 set. I went and purchased a CY-8 cymbal to add another crash to the system. However, when I plug it in to the allocated "Crash 2" port on the module it is not even close to as loud as my 1st crash. Like I said, everything is pretty much stock aside from adding the top 50 Vex kits. But, I am not using a splitter or anything and there is a specific port for a 2nd crash so I can't figure out why the sound is diminished on the new 2nd crash. I wouldn't think that I need to tweak the sensitivity (nor do I know how) or mess with settings for the that specific instrument volume since it is stock to begin with and the 1st crash is perfect... why wouldn't the 2nd crash be the same volume?

Any ideas?

Thanks so much!

did you set the trigger type to cy-8? it's probably defaulting to the CY-12 or whatever was stock with your kit..

Thank you for your reply, Spyder!

I did NOT set anything as I didn't realize I had to... can you explain how to do that or what you are talking about? I have not heard of this.

Sorry bud... I am new to this eDrum thing.

Again, thanks so much for your help!

well on the TD-20, i would go press the trigger button, then hit the trigger i wanted to edit...

then you just mess around in there....

Is you CY-8 as loud as your CY-12?

Seems like I have to smash the **** out of the cymbal to get a good crash out of it.

Thanks!

i just picked it up, it seemed a bit quieter.. then i actually set it up as a CY-8 now its louder then my other cymbals... needed to turn it down a small bit...
