Hello Dmitri,

Since I have some inconsistent triggering, I thought measuring the trigger signal could help to optimise the pad mechanically.
Can you tell what wave form I should strive for to works best for MegaDrum?

Knowing this, maybe I can modify the pads to give more consistent trigger signals.
The heads are Vdrum-Remo mesh heads and the trigger cones are in the center of the head.

Loose head tension


Moderate head tension


Normal head tension


Tight head tension

Well, an optimal signal would be a single positive sine half wave without any subsequent after hit signal. And level of this signal is consistently relative to the hit strength.
What sort of inconsistency are you having?
