@edcito Maybe i'll do when i have a little more time.

@ANGR77 Search for RhinoPRO. I used the heat shrink tube.

Hi Manfred,

of course i use the same circuit because the brain doesn't give any other choices.
It should work with almost any 2-zone cymbal.

The most important is the magnet and it's position in relation to the sensor.
That's were the DIY part kicks in.
In my case with my Roland FD-7 i use a neodym N45 magnet 15 x 2 mm which
i fixed to the pedal with double sided tape.
The maximum distance to the box is ~ 20 mm. The minimum is close to 0. Just
not touching the sensor box. Depending on the hardware you will have to
play with those parameters and the settings in the brain to achieve the best result

Here is my construction.

Because i'm using it with my Roland FD-7 i decided to build it as small
as possible.





Instead of using outlets in the box i use cables.

The cable for the brain is about 50 cm long and has
a female connector.

The cable for the cymbal is about 200 cm long and has
a male connector which you can put directly into the cymbal.





If anybody is interested i could make some more boxes. Just send me
a PM.

Here you can see my construction.

Just to give you an update.

My module is working as it supposed to. Waiting to get my PCB's
from a professional manufacturer. Hope to get them next week
and the then i can built the module and show you the result.

Hi Neal,

made some tests today with my prototype and it seem to work
perfect I don't have a comparison because i don't have the
original 2Box HH. But compared to my Roland HH on the TD-8 it's
working much better.

I ordered some parts to make a SMD version. As soon as i get them
i"ll come back to you. Maybe we can meet in Eindhoven then for
a coffee 

Hi ,
where in the Netherlands do you live ? I live in Germany 20km east of Venlo.
I'm building my own controller in the moment and i'm going test my prototype tonight
If it works out we can probably arrange something.

[RR04]

Ok  i got it 

Just get SOX as a zipped version.
Make a new dir and unzip sox into that dir. Now also copy the files you want to convert
into that new dir. Like all SNR_1965_V01_SR_MULTI_VEL*_RR04.wav files.

Make a batch file 2Box.bat which looks like this:

Code Select Expand


mkdir converted
FOR %%A IN (%*) DO (

sox %%A resultL.wav remix 1p-%2 
sox %%A resultR.wav remix 2p-%2
sox %%A resultUpper.wav remix 3p-%3
sox %%A resultBottom.wav remix 4p-%4
sox -M resultL.wav resultR.wav resultUpper.wav resultBottom.wav result.wav remix -m 1,3,4 2,3,4
sox result.wav -b 16 -r 44.1k converted/%%A dither -a -f shibata )



Open Cmd and navigate to the new dir.

Now enter

2Box SNR_1965_V01_SR_MULTI_VEL*_RR04.wav 0 5 5

0 5 5 Are parameters for the mix

Here the stereo file will be untouched -0 dB top mic -5 dB  bottom mic -5dB

Execute the batch file and you will find the converted files in a subdir
called converted.

At the end of the batch you'll see error msg's which are no problem
Have to fix that.

When i have some more time i'll program a GUI which will make it
much easier.

Have fun !

With Wave Agent you can extract track 1 and 2
which are the stereo signal. To add the top and bottom
mic the file has to be remixed. Sox can do this but i have
to figure out how to set the command line.

Yes like i said the mix and resample command is not
available for chains.

Maybe use an external macro recorder ?

Unfortunately the mix and resample command is not available
for batch files so it has to be done manually.

Open RRxx files
Mix and resample
Save the new wave file

You can open those files with Audacity (Freeware) and you will see 4 wave files .
Right, left and two mono files which are top and bottom.

Now what to do with those files ?

There is a function in Audacity to combine those files an make one stereo wave file
( Mix and Render in the Tracks menu )

It's easy in Audacity to set up a batch files and it will do all files at once.

Not sure how to handle RR01 and RR02. I'm german and the term "round robin"
doesn't make sense to me. Can somebody explain what the difference is ?

I'm also not sure if combining all 4 files makes sense or just take the left and right
file. I think we have to give it a try and listen to the result.

I'll post the batch macro for Audacity later if needed.

I'll have a look at it. Maybe i can do something.

[multi-channel WAV files]

Hi here is the answer:

The kicks , toms and snares are multi-channel WAV files and Reaper has one of the few samplers that can handle it. The hats and all cymbals are normal stereo files, so any sampler can handle them.
