Re: [DESIGN] 2Z/3Z Choke Capable Cymbal (by PFozz)

ORIGINAL: Tinaso

I wanna do a dual zone ride with choke and a single zone crash with choke for my ALESIS TRIGGER IO!!!  Does the dual zone ride with choke works with alesis Trigger io?!?!?!?!

Dual Zone Ride :  Piezo bell, Piezo Bow >  connection to Jack Female Stereo.

Single Zone Crash : Piezo connection jack female mono.

The question is the CHOKE. How do i do it?!?!??!?!

Ive seen this page

I have a Trigger IO on order (do not possess it yet) so I can’t confirm this personally. But from what I’ve read the Trigger IO requires an input for every event/zone/feature you want. So, for a 3 zone chokable ride you’ll need 3 piezos, 1 choke switch, 2 female jacks on the cymbal, and utilize 2 full TRS inputs on the Trigger IO. Since the Trigger IO has no intelligence or actual processing provided for anything (each of the 20 inputs are simply that, individual inputs with no relation to each other) you don’t use the Raper circuits at all. Instead, wire the bell and bow piezo to one TRS female jack. Then wire the edge piezo and choke switch to the other. I’d suggest using Hellfires choke switch http://www.hellfiredrums.com/archives/67 as it seems simple and inexpensive to implement, yet flexible as you should be able to make it any size you want. Then have fun configuring the Trigger IO to utilize all of the piezos without crosstalk and mistriggers. YIPPIE!!! 🙂

Now hurry up and construct it and post your results! 😉
