How many Zones....

[Manfred]

...does the Hihat have?

When I watch the Trigger-Page while playing the Hihat I can see "Zone 3", "Zone 8" and "Zone 9" in the display. But I cant't really find out where these zones are. Using the pedal leads to "Zone 9" in the display. If the Hihat is closed the edge seems to be Zone 3 and 8 is the bow. But if the hihat is open almost always "Zone 8" is displayed.

Since the Hihat uses a simple stereo jack and the ring is used for sensing the pedal position, there is only one contact left. Does this mean that the Hihat is a One-Zone-Cymbal?

Greets, Manfred

Hi

good question   ....how can 3 triggers transit by only 2 ways (left and right)?
When we unplug a little bit the jack, it seems that Zone8 and Zone9 are on the same side.

how can 3 triggers transit by only 2 ways (left and right)?

But you must admit that cymbals, for instance, have really 3 different sounds...

Hi Manfred

Have you tried downloading the Hihat test sample from the 2box website?
