Good to know. So with matching pedals and some tweaking on a DM10 it can work. I really didn't think it would work. I know it's been about ten years since I tried this, but back then it didn't work. I don't remember which module I was using.
I tested with a STRIKE module this morning since it had "Auto Calibration" implemented and with factory default pedal settings everything works fine.
It needs fine tuning as it splashes extremely easy..
I have spent a great deal of time with the Alesis Hi Hat issues and even designed some equipment to get the actual HH ranges...The Realhat and Pro_X are more of a universal type probably why they have been around as long as they have..the STRIKE module range is nowhere near 90k.
I have designed
* a remote (mounts on any rim) that will allow manual adjustment of the STRIKE controller (plugs into the back..HH controller #2) and you can adjust the HH to any range and have full pedal control.I have also implemented it to onboard a few of the modules (pic attached).
I have also calculated the OHM range for each of the velocity ranges in the Editor so you can construct a Hi Hat to actually match the pedal range and corresponds on the dial.
Very very few of the factory Hi Hats go beyond 3 ranges..closed-semi-full open..and have minimal sample or samples in each..sometimes just 1.
These HH are also used with multiple kits
Amp Room and Spank are a couple examples that are close to full range and will go from closed - tight - loose - semi - full open..but they also lack a sufficient amount of samples for smooth transition thoughout the range..currently a 2-3 Ohm range each until you get to semi to 3/4 range which is 20-30 Ohm ..then Full open.
I picked up some DM10 MKII Pro modules...they are being blown out.These modules have a lot more capabilities than advertised...256 polyphony..bi-directional USB audio/midi and there is the Pro-X option in the menu,the head/cross stick/rim shot setup is quite interesting and works extremely well.It supports a Dual Zone Hi Hat while a single zone is shipped with the kit..so it is STRIKE HH compatible..I am waiting for response from Alesis as the Auto Test on the module shows a USB MIDI port error as I am having a 1-2 sec latency when using the Bi-directional audio..
*I am in the final phase of my 6 axis CNC prototype (actually 3+2)..with quick change: side mill option,3D printer headstock,laser engraving Headstock ) with Touch screen and a completely redesigned Mach 3 screen set with a Virtual Machine plugin so I don't have to rely on a CAM program to translate for 5 Axis.This is for doing small production runs as I miss it from my days in the Aftermarket Harley Davidson Industry and having a full machine shop..what I don't miss is 5 ton machines and the smell of rancid coolant etc..lol...a couple "in construction" (pics attached.)
I have de-railed this thread enough so am going to stop...if I remember correctly your are in engineering so am sure you can understand/appreciate the effort , I am sure you have many more ideas from the past or present that you would love to do small runs of without all the expense of a full machine shop..I should probably start a Topic in the Top Floor Club..
I am off to see if I have an extender cable I can hack up or order a female TS end so I can test the DD650 and the DM10 MKII pro for Dual Pedals..
