It's possible, actually, I just removed the middle foam, i.e. the one which stays at the beater. then I left the mesh a little bit loose and I start hearing some 'tack-tack' then I realized that the beater was sometimes hitting  the external plate. I solved it by tightening the mesh a bit. and the acoustic noise is now reduced by far and I didn't have to rid off the light or cut the foam or repositioning the sensor...just remove the middle foam, that's all!! 

that's what I mean, so the double triggering is gone now?

..it may be caused by the cymbal sensor...

I'm afraid it seems to be the reason. I just opened the box containing the jack output to see if there's a bad contact or a unwelded cable, but everything looks fine on it.

Hi

I think it's a problem with the cymbal choke. If you don't see any problem with the metallic plate, it may be caused by the cymbal sensor... You should use the warranty.

Huh how can you hit the light? I mean the beater is only hitting the meshhead at the front.

by lower the trigger to the rimtrigger hole and cut out the foam in the middle (like on the first picture in this thread) should do it perhaps, but maybe you will hit the light then (hit the light like metallica!  )

Huh how can you hit the light? I mean the beater is only hitting the meshhead at the front.So why are you taking the led plate away?why not only the foam in the middle,and then replace the backplate with that 2box light.

Probably my English is so bad...  as I said the issue is only with one cymbal! The second one and the whole kit works fine. It's not matter of power-level and I'm from Russia

On my Ubuntu 10.04 it runs with wine. Just install wine and start the Editor-Installer.

In my opinion it is much more important to have a editor that can create multi-zone-sounds. The current version still can not do this.

+1 here! How come that they claim for an open system, but their software doesn't work in open OS?

Hi folks,

Here's the story. I got my kit a couple of months ago. Since the very first moment I noticed something wrong with one of the cymbals and it was that all the time it sounded kinda 'choked'. However I skipped this by disabling the 'choke' option on the kit module. After couple of weeks I enabled that option again, and the cymbal seemed to work fine (more or less). Sometimes it double triggered and choked, but something one can easily stand. After reading some post here, which pointed the rack instability to the some source of double triggering, I bought new stands but part of the problem remained. Then I realized that the OS had something to do with the problem. I decided to wait till the release of OS 1.1. After the update double trigger was minimal, but since two weeks ago I start noticing that both problems (trigger and choking) increased noticeably. Now it's the point that it works whenever it wants. Sometimes it works smoothly but sometimes (I'd say 75%) it sounds choked and create double trigger mostly when hitting the kick drum.

I have already pulled the rubber up and checked that none of the flips is broken or in continue contact with the metallic plate. In fact I found that I have to do that once in a while, because the problem seems to vanish for a couple of minutes after lifting up and putting back the rubber cover (I just have flip the edge part of the rubber, because near the bell the rubber is glued).

Attached is a short sample of how it sounds. I really don't know what it's going on, and I'm afraid that it might be broken   . Has someone of you experienced something similar? what would you suggest me to do? I know the easiest way is to use the warranty, but as we all know there aren't spare parts, so it might mean a long time without cymbal  

thx and I'm looking forward to some ideas.

Thanks, I'm going to buy some rubbertube
