RE: [DTXpress] Volume meter- b4 or after self rejection?

2004-07-20 by Vernon Graner

Continuing on this topic... (Wow! An actual drumming related post!)  ;)

Does anyone know if the rejection setting is a "complete mute" or just a
reduction of gain on the strike? If I understand this correctly, it is a
"gate" so it will "ignore" any strike that falls within the parameters
specified by the rejection. So, if I was getting some kicks significantly
louder than others, it shouldn't have anything to do with rejection. Can
anyone confirm/deny?

Also, if as suggested, there is a "dimple" in the foam that is making
only certain "pressure" kicks show up as much louder than others,
wouldn't the LCD meter show a significanty more radical deflection? This
was the strange anomaly I noticed originally... that the meter deflection
seemed to be the "same" even when one or more of the kicks was VERY
loud...

I suppose I should take apart the kick tower and look for the dimple...
