Does the footsplash sound work? Did you try a different stereo cable?

Nope, The footsplash does not work. I'll try another cable to see if it 
helps. Thanks for the advise.

Hey Perry, and anyone else,

I can't remember: Does footclose on the Xpress have its own 
parameters in the voice menu? If the cable checks out okay, it's 
possible, I guess, that something vital got deleted accidentally from 
the settings (like the voice itself?). Also, is something amiss with 
the common hi hat sensitivity setting in the voice menu, or the 
offset/time settings in utility? If not, the pedal may have a 
mechanical problem that keeps it from running its full course. I've 
run into something similar, and have duplicated the problem 
artificially, with another company's controller, by shortening the 
throw, although when I do so, I don't get a closed hat stick sound.

I,m pretty sure I had a hi-hat close parameter at one time. I'll do a factory 
reset since I don't have any user kits I really need to keep.

Foot splash isn't working. I'll also do a factory reset if the cable is not 
te problem. 
Thanks again...perry

Perry,

Have you had any luck in fixing the problem yet? 

I took one of my HH65 apart and posted photos in the photo gallery.

It appears that the footsplash and footstomp are only activated by 
the end ridge on the bottom of the curved rubber pad. Check to see if 
something has gotten in the way of the rubber pad that would keep it 
from going all the way down.

Haven't got to it yet. Thanks for the input...perry

Found the problem. Cable was bad. I should have checked this before asking 
for help. Duhh.  Thanks for your help.

This is really, sort-of off-topic, but relevant as it deals with the
group directly. :)

Since becoming a moderator on this group, I've been receiving all the
Join and Unsubscribe notifications. What I am amazed by, is that it seems
we get about 2 (or sometimes more!) new members a *week* and only about 1
member a week (or less) unsubscribes! At this rate, the group should be
getting *much* larger. :) Also, so far no new member postings have been
from a SPAMmer.  All new posts that have come in for moderation clearance
(at least the ones *I've* seen, somedays I'm slow on the draw!) have been
%100 legit!

Just thought some of  you might like to know what it looks like from up
here in the moderators chair! :D

Vern.


    Oh yes I know what its like I used to be the Founder/Mod of the 
Olympus 5050 digicam users Yahoo group,but the time I closed it (cos 
Im not keen on Yahoo,with its advertising and pop-ups) I went from 0-
960+ members in 6 months or so,I moved my group over to a website 
called digi-darkroom.com,and I must admit it is about 10 times 
better than Yahoo (it is run by vBulletin),I`m glad that we wont be 
seeing anymore spam on this site,but the problem is also happening 
on other Yahoo sites,its a shame that there so many who want to 
spoil it for others.

Guess where a lot of the ads and such are going instead of to the 
group? The group owner's Yahoo mailbox, that's where. I've had about 
ten so far that I've asked Yahoo to block and/or track.
