    Hey man, i just want to thank you for all your electronic drum videos. Very helpful and in-depth!

    Yup! It's not a footswitch. After receiving my pedals, I took one apart. It has a strip-type force-sensitive variable resistance element. The relaxed pressure resistance is ~100k ohms. Full foot pressure is ~10 ohms. The element is in parallel with a 1M ohm resistor.

      Thanks for the info! Interesting though that a sustain pedal will also work in those inputs but not a standard piezo trigger.

    Hey!
    Can PD705 send hi-hat continuous control messages via MIDI?
    I want to get sounds of different pedal positions between closed and opened for VST.
    Is there a pedal that could do it?

    Sorry if this comment gets a little long, but anyways, here it goes. I highly advise you to read it all the way through to the end.
    Firstly I should probably explain why I even found this video in the first place. Long story short, I have this crazy idea in mind where I would play piano while playing drum sounds with my feet, and I talked to a friend of mine about this idea. Said friend looked at bass drum trigger pedals and they found this one and recommended it to me. So I found this video about it. Not sure if it'll really be adequate enough for my specific foot drumming needs though; I'm looking into and thinking about several options I could use, even if that means some of this is gonna have to be homemade DIY-style. If you're interested in my specific requirements for foot-drumming while playing piano just let me know and I'll write a separate comment.
    Secondly:
    You mentioned that this pedal is velocity sensitive even though it's a footswitch and you have no idea how that would work. I have an idea of what might be going on here:
    Perhaps it works in a similar way to how a keyboard detects the velocity of the keys for controlling dynamics. You see, on a keyboard, the way it usually works is that each key has usually 2 switches under it. As you move the key downward, the first switch closes, then as the key continues to descend, the second switch eventually closes. Now, as this is going on, the controller is essentially counting the amount of time in between when the first switch closes and when the second switch closes. It then uses this amount of time to determine the intensity of the note when you hear it.
    It's possible that the pedal shown in this video is using a very similar technique, except obviously it's not using a piano key but a pedal under your foot. Would be cool if anyone else in the comments section who understands this stuff, like an engineer or something, could maybe verify this or add their input to this discussion. Highly doubt the manufacturer of the pedal is gonna explain this stuff... manufacturers don't do that... all they do is advertise products to get folks to buy them. Roland certainly isn't gonna explain how their KT10 kick trigger works, neither is Yamaha gonna explain how their KU100 (or whatever it's called) kick trigger pedal works. And, I really think having even a basic understanding of how these pedals actually work, mechanically/electronically, can be helpful in determining which pedals are compatible with which drum modules and such.

      @@99otari This makes sense. I bet this is also what electronic hi-hat opener/closer pedals use.
      Actually it's funny I mentioned that, because one of the sample kits on my electronic drum module has the hi-hat pedal playing a bass drum sound instead of performing the job of opening/closing the hi-hat... I don't think that sample kit even has a hi-hat sound at all! :)
      Anyways, it likely detects velocity in the same way.
      I also mentioned a Yamaha pedal, KU-100. It uses the more typical piezoelectric sensor for electronic kick drums, which I think is ultimately what I'd end up using for my crazy foot percussion idea. It just makes the most sense... piezo sensors are pretty much a standard component of any electronic percussion system.

    I bought 2 of these for my Avatar PD 705 percussion pad. They both came with the cables but the one has single ring 1/4" jacks on both ends and the other has dual ring 1/4" jacks at both ends. So whats the deal with that ? Is one the right cable and the other the wrong cable or do both the pedal and drum pad input jacks accept both single and dual ring jacks ?

  • @marcvandoornik
    @marcvandoornik 4 месяца назад

    Hi Justin, awesome video, I'd never expected it to be velocity sensitive! I think they're probably using a resistor to detect what the internal switch is making contact with, so that the module 'sees' a certain fixed resistance when the pedal is in the top position, infinite resistance in between and close to zero ohms when in the bottom position. That way it would be able to measure the time between leaving the top and reaching the bottom, although that's just a hypothesis...
    Could you measure the resistance between the cable tip and sleeve for those three positions by any chance? I would love to add my own pedal to this pad.

      It would probably work, but it might not be quite sensitive enough. One thing I have noticed is the output on these are softer than most kick triggers. You might have to turn your sensitivity up all the way.

      Thank you because I tried ordering petals over the holidays for my tabletop, but when they arrived I found they were double-ring quarter-inch jack cables. and my machine only talks to a quarter-inch single ring. So I had to send them all back and now I'm looking for a quarter-inch single-ring pedal. The one that you are showing in this video looks very similar to the one that ddrums has their NIO pedals. When used as a high hat were you able to get the open and close sizzle that a true acoustic set brings?

      @@jerbear9651 Do you get any velocity response when this pedal is connected to PTED06? I've got Pyle PTED01 and while the drum pads themselves are decent, the included foot switches are erratically double-triggering to the point of being unusable. PTED01 has two 1/4" jack inputs (separate hi-hat and kick drum), so maybe this pedal would work. I'm just worried that the signal (judging by the two pins visible on the "plunger" of this pedal, it may be producing two "low" pulses separated by a velocity-dependent time delay) it sends won't trigger PTED01 at all, but since it functioned for your PTED06, this gives me some hope that it might just work, even if it does not provide proper velocity response. I'd be happy with just a switch that doesn't double-trigger so often. Also, does this pedal has a polarity switch? Thanks for help!
