I am guessing that this topic have been covered many time before...but I did not find any good topic when searching the forum.
The 2Box cymbal have 3 zones + the choke...how is this really working? I think I red that you Jman offers 3 Zone stealth cymbals...
How are they built ... 2 switches + piezo...or ....?
Best regards

Hi!
I had some general thoughts about how 2Box do the bell/bow separation? One thing they measure is how hard you have hit the cymbal. You will have a higher voltage range if you hit on the bell but I am also thinking the 2Box module is also able to determine a bell hit by looking on the wave form and measures the time between the first positive wave to the second positive wave. I am guessing the curve time will differ if you compare a bell hit with a bow hit.
Anyone who have some thoughts, input or comments on this? :-)

Yep. No. My observations tell me that it's only about the strength of the hit reaching the piezo that determines the zone, because if I hit
very light on the bell, I can get a bow sound, and if I hit
really hard on the bow, I can get a bell sound. But for 99% of playing, the system works really well, as long as the gain and separation (L/M/H) is set correctly.
Great feedback! Many thank! I was starting to wonder if I was completely alone in the hardware forum area! :-) Could also be that the Swedish guy asked questions which are common knowledge for everybody except...:-)
Yes - you are right...I took a oscilloscope today and scanned the signal and the selection of sounds are totally based on the velocity. Nothing else!
This knowledge could maybe open up a couple of opportunities and a invention...
