Found a solution, thanks anyway!

It's running in a mac without any windows support, it's running as a Java application

It's been decades I don't code, but started messing with AppleScript and tried to automate some stuff to use in DSoundTool. I can do stuff with the menu bar 1 easily, but can't reach the menu and menu items in the DSoundTool window. Any idea what the names of these are?

Well, I've had some improvements. By increasing the gain (of both zones), I started to trigger zone 1 (bell) erratically, together with zone 8. I also took out the protection pad below the bell and gently pushed the bell trigger, perhaps this also helped. Then I edited the ride dsnd with dsoundtool and replaced the sound of zone 8 (edge) with the bell sound. It seems I have a reasonable bell now, although I still have to test it properly

Hi Anders,

Thanks for your message. I have a Pintech PC Series Dual Zone Ride 16" w/ bell. I have tried all trigger types that 2box has in the unit settings, but none of them triggered the bell.

Zone 4 (bowl) is triggered normally. At times, if I hit the bell really hard, I am able to see in the unit that zone 8 (edge) is triggered and I hear that sound. However, I can never manage to trigger Zone 1 (bell)

BTW, you do have the 2 output type of ride cymbals yeah? i.e. Roland style meaning you need 2 cables for 3 zone function? If so, you would probably have better results with trigger type CyPSB! The one you're using is meant for 2zone crash cymbals. Rides are known as 3 zones cymbals. 1. bow 2. edge/choke 3. Bell. sorta thing!

You can get 3 zones with 2box cymbals on a single TRS cable or Yamaha cymbals on a single TRS cable (different trigger types for each though) but not Roland.

Thanks. Unfortunately I tried all the trigger settings, but it doesn't help. Any other suggestions?

Hi Everyone,

I hope you can help me, I am struggling to solve this

I just bought a Pintech 16" ride with two zones. It triggers zone 4 (bow) correctly, but doesn't trigger zone 1 (bell). After hitting the bell very hard (way harder than I would while playing), I was able to trigger zone 8 (edge). I used the level display to see which zones were being triggered

I have as settings:
- Trigger type CyPS (but also tried all others)
- Gain 5/H
- Curve POS1
- File I am using to test (among others): Swiss PR 22 Ride

Thank you in advance for any help! I was a long time ddrum4 user and just joined the 2box train recently, among other things because of the equally string community that has been formed.
