Hey all, wanted to let you know that we pushed out version 2.6.2 today. It has lots of fixes and improvements to the cymbal and hi-hat models. Please give it a try and let us know what you think!
You can find the release notes here: What's new | Sensory Percussion 2 Help
You can download the software at https://sunhou.se/downloads or just open the app (maybe close/reopen if it’s already open) to get the in-app update.
Just wanna pop in and say I also adjusted my input and output gain to match my personal dynamic range, as well as maguyvering the goosneck and it fixed 90% of my false trigger issues. You really need to fine tune the settings WHILE playing to find the sweet spot.
@tenoch Thanks for the update. As you know I’ve been experimenting a lot using the cymbal sensors with normal acoustic cymbals. Since the update I’m noticing that the new model doesn’t recognise the edge “ping” zone as well as it did before on my acoustic ride and crash. It’s probably the least used zone so not a big deal but just wanted to feed this back to you.
With the latest SP2 version the hihat open closed action for me is worse… half open playing plays the closed articulation most of the time and fast playing is not possible since the pedal openess level indicator keeps jumping like crazy.
Just wanted to say that with 2.6.4 the cymbals are feeling and sounding great. Although I’m still getting open hi hat artifacts when stepping eighth notes. Anyone know a solution for this?
Im currently struggling with the hi hat tension settings. I have it optimized as best as I can figure out for now but I’m still getting some open sounding hit when I strike the edge of the hats from medium to hard hits. Anyone else experience this? Anyone have a fix?
Anyone else seeing the cc generator for the hihats always just drift to the center no matter what? As in I close the hat, and see the cc value jumps to 127, but keeping the hat closed the cc will eventually just drift back to 60-70 or so. Similarly if I open the hihat the cc will go to 0 but eventually drift UP to 50-60. Really making it not fun to try and get good hihat sounds from SD3, and I just swapped back to my FIELD hihats for now, which sucks. I’m using the latest software update and I’ve followed all the usual recs like alignment of the rubber insert, tightening the base finger tight but not so tight it pops off, loosening the cable, ect.
edit: thanks to Steven for helping me solve this in an email, TL;DR some cc drift in between hits is expected but it should snap back to where it should be on the next hit.
I got the most mileage for cc control In SD3 by using their provided SD3 template, AND playing with my velocity settings for the hihat sensor. As other users have mentioned if your signal is too hot in/out it triggers poorly. I took down my velocity such that only deliberately hard whacks were topping out, and now I’m getting pretty good triggering in SD3
