Drum-tec's 3-ply 'real feel' mesh heads are noisy and are known to cause issues with positional sensing on eDRUMin. If you have a 2-ply mesh head, the issue goes away. Alternatively some users report that adding a 25k resistor in series with the piezo helps resolve the issue.

No. But you can use drum maps to achieve the same result already.

Hit, xs, and rs all get two levels.

I went for a much simpler setup in the UI and it's working and will be included in version 2.4.

At the moment, the version here and the version on the downloads page are the same.

1. I have set up the drum map to BFD. Does that limit working articulation use? I have a CyY5R in the crash 1 slot. Can't get the bell to activate at all. using the configuration that requires two cables. And yes, the slot to the right of the ride slow shows bell. The problem is not the cymbal itse...

I purposely chose a snare that had a large sound variation, but that's not necessarily what you want.

Yes, not all snares in SD3 have positional sensing, although I think most do. As for the hotspot suppression, if you have the amount control set too high, the feature will not suppress a hit when it would otherwise be completely suppressed.

It must be a setting in SD3 or eDRUMin. Can you post a screenshot of your settings in the eDRUMin control application for your snare?

I would start by making the decay very relaxed. Hit the pedal once and take a look at the transient. If you do that and post a screenshot I can make more recommendations for you.
