Hi Denis.
Yes, note on and off quickly will do a splash. You could filter out noye off, but it will always be chick. So not sure about

"opens again even if it never receives a note off".

Maybe the cc4 does that, I am not sure exactly about the implementation, long time ago...

I will take these issues into account for the future..

Hi.
I think (its been some years) you need a cc4 of 120 or more (test w 127), and than a note on (being the 3rd note nr from the base note, as bow is base note, edge 2nd, pedal 3rd) which than both initiates the foot chick or splash, and quickly decays the open sound.

Very maybe, the cc is not needed because of pedal having its own note, not sure though...

Hi. From DI5 mk1 manual.

MIDI parameyer selects between continuous controller 1 or 4. The CC value range can be set from 0 when open to 127 when closed (arrow down) or from 0 when closed to 127 when open (arrow up). Normally MIDI pedal data is only sent just before a note on, selections with a ! indicate that pedal changes are sent continuously.

Pedal down (chick or splash) transmits control change and note on, the corresponding note off is send when the pedal moves up again. A short time between down and up results in a foot splash, a longer time results in a foot chick because a quick sound decay sets in when the pedal comes down, and is removed when the pedal moves up again. So a short time in between keeps most of the sound, while a long time will quiet the sound down.

Hi! The ever going sd card discussion! :-)
It makes it clear why I on the original DI5 chose to -not- have a sd slot for user cards.
You can call drumit "sensitive", but indeed, it needs a reliable consistent performing card.
2 warnings, an extender cable makes signalling definitively worse and prone for errors.
And I dont how DI3 and 5mk2 do things nowadays.

Hi. The metr sound is user assignable so "native" ?
If you dont have a drumit module, get or dl a drumit.dkit file.
Open it in a hex editor, might work in text edit too, and the first legible file name is the metronome.
Dl it from 2box site, and do as i suggested before.
Best, Deve.

Hi. File / folder order should (!) not matter at all, at least it didn't on the original DI5.
Only the os.bin and drumit.dkit file need to be in the root.

Hi. The metr can be any dsnd file at all, mostly some perc type.
Just rename the file to .wav and use it in any daw or sound editor.
Just select and copy the hit you want to use, loudest ones come first.
Also might need to pitch down.

Hi Joe!
Basically good idea. However, putting a 220 ohm in parallel will make the range very non linear. With the 36k halfway, the total is still 217 Ohm. So not much happening there.
Sort of coming to 1/10 of the range, it is still 207.
When the pot is 1k, then you get 180, now its doing something, but at 1/36 of the pedal range.

Hi all!
From v 1.2x (I know, ages ago...)
UNIT-HPED page

"MIDI selects between continuous controller 1 or 4. The CC value range can be set from 0 when open to 127 when closed (arrow down) or from 0 when closed to 127 when open (arrow up). Normally MIDI pedal data is only sent just before a note on, selections with a ! indicate that pedal changes are sent continuously. Pedal down transmits control change and note on, the corresponding note off is send when the pedal moves up again. A short time between down and up results in a foot splash, a longer time results in a foot chick."

Edit, this is for midi send / recvd.
For the actual pedal ctrl behaviour before midi, it might indeed be different now. V1.2x only expected the original hall sensor hhat.

Hi.
DrumIt (and maybe emerge) send the note off pretty quickly after note on since they should always be a pair (and for drum sounds, n.off isnt used(. Maybe the synth thinks its too short after.

Hi. Afaik no mirror.
However the chan to bus is global, so  easy to do, however this is direct out from chan to bus to out.
See page UNIT-INTF.
Mix bus (or Submix) to out, see UNIT-OUT.

Hi Bill.
Well, when I designed the original DI5, it had the sd card built in. I sort of suspected problems when people use their own.
But when they released mkII later, it opened up a grey zone of what to use. I added that msg (which seems to be still there) as a safety warning just in case, which turned out what you got :-)

Hi.
That boot msg says the sd card is not formatted correctly, cluster size (allocation size) is 16k, should be 32k.

Try to reformat with that.
Btw, formatting a 64 gb card as 32 gb is not an obvious thing, but you might get away with it.

Best, Deve.

Hi.
Using more than 4 gb via usb does NOT damage the unit. Just the sd card data gets messed up.
This is not a bug btw. The usb mass storage code was never intended for more than 4 gb.
Best, Deve.

Hi.

"BTW, the Speedlight kit doesn't have an SD card so those links aren't applicable."

Oh yes, it does. Just not externally accessible.

Cheers.
