Lol, I have a ride cymbal I made out of a pintec rubber one. I have two bell piezos and one bow piezo, I don't need anything fancy I just wanted a bell and bow sound but what it appears to be doing is only triggering one or the other.
I'm using a DM10 module.
To troubleshoot by my limited understanding, it may be that:
- I need a resistor between them and the bow must be "switch" not piezo
- I wired it wrong by just using "piezo-piezo" type construction
- I might just need to find a setting or something in the module and change it
- I should just sit in a kevorkian machine and leave this world forever
What I did notice is that if I use the "8ride1" input it triggers the bell only. If I use the "9ride2/perc1" input it triggers the bow only.
What I could do is waste an input and split the TRS cable into 2 mono inputs (I think?? LOL).
I know that if you use a 3zone ride you will have to do this but if I just want the bell and bow I shouldn't have to split it?
Do I understand all this right? I'm about to just buy an actual Alesis ride cymbal and be done with it but my goal was to fabricate everything I possible could myself.
Thanks for any feedback. This forums rocks!
