Every now and then a wise and wizzened member re-posts good hihat utility settings for offset and splash time. I know i printed these once, but I am unable to locate this info. I know I should use the search function and honest I did, but I always have trouble finding what I'm looking for there. If anyone has any tips on searching- I would be grateful I think. Thank you all... Creighton

Anyway, I haven't used a Yamaha hh pedal in a while, but I seem to remember that when I did, both offset and sensitivity were set at 0 and the "T" setting at 20 to 32. Do these strike you as reasonable? Ed

oh wizened one I think the offset was 32 (or minus 32) and the "T" setting was a low positive setting. I left my reading glasses at home today - what a morning, don't ask- so I am struggling to read my mail. I have an earlier DTX- the I with ability to do stereo so I don't have a sensitivity setting unless you're referring to the dipswitch on the back??? Thanks for your prompt response.

Dear Bad Santa,
My DTXpressI had a dedicated sensitivity parameter for the hihat. It
was located under the drum kit common parameters of the voice mode
(5.?). By the way, I've had some interesting private exchanges with
Bob Giles (I trust you got my private email). The upshot is that I
combined his trigger posts from Electronic Drums into a file here ("A
Short Course"). I wish I had the facility to make the words in this
post bigger for you. If I'd lost my glasses, I'd be hardpressed to
find the computer kyboard at all.

Ed Bless you. I found a store in the neighborhood that sells magnifiers and I can read again. The glasses look like the ones Lilly Tomlin wore as the operator on Laugh-In (there's a generational test) so I'm happy that my office has a door. I came across some Rogers drums that were literally set out for the trash lately. Two of the shells have cracks in them and the tom hardware will not grip so they are truly shot. This breaks my heart- when I was a kid I lusted for a Rogers set with the Dynasonic snare. Well the snare is in my basement and I will be looking for a new throw-off on ebay soon. I am going to cut down the 12" tom and create a mesh head snare. Bob's post is inspiring and I am thinking I will be trying sensors other than the piezo just for fun. Thanks for preserving his mail- I will be returning to it. I am interested in members ideas on how to create a separate rim sensor that won't interact with the head sensor. Again- great holiday to all.

Here's tip: if u read your mail in the Mozilla browser, hit CTRL and the "plus" sign (+) that enlarges the font. If it's IE, choose the "view" pull-down menu and choose "text Size" and select "larger". Or, if you need all of windows to display larger fonts, try resetting Windows itself to "large fonts". To do so, right click on the desktop, choose properties then choose the appearance tab, then in the "Font Size" requester, choose "large fonts". Though this can make screen layout look a bit weird, it should allow you to get through the day till u can bring your glasses the next day. :) Of course, if u just want to magnify a few areas to read better, hit START/PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/ACCESABILITY and choose "magnifier" to open a neat little window that enlarges whatever your mouse is hovering over. Lots of tips like this here: http://www.charles-retina.com/compvision.htm Vern PS: I'm assuming you're using windows and/or mozilla.. ;) Also, FWIW, I did some work for a school district and we had to do this for the visually impaired students so I researched it a long while back. -- Vern Graner CNE/CNA/SSE | "If the network is down, then you're Senior Systems Engineer | obviously incompetent so why are we Texas Information Services | paying you?

I'm rather near sighted. Anything within 14-20" of my nose is perfectly clear, farther away is mush. I can't just pop into a store to get glasses, I have to carry a spare set in the car "just in case". I guess you're lucky if you can operate w/o glasses to do things like play drums. If I get "energetic" my glasses can slide down my nose. grrr. One of the only pictures I have of myself on stage at one of the biggest shows I played, has me with my glasses perched precariously on the tip of my nose. I'm a slave to my glasses. And before u ask, yes I did contacts (too much cost/hassle/health issues) and I'm not about to let some "Doctor" (what do u call the guy who graduates last in his class from medical school? Doctor!) with a razor sharp scalpel near my eyes, thank you!
