What are your sensitivities on your ride and crash? I keep either dropping notes or doing extra notes, but I can't tell which :/

It's mostly trouble with eighth notes on the ride, or crash.

I play on a TD-4, and actually sensitivity is most likely not what you need to adjust. You'll want to look into tweaking some of the advanced settings for each cymbal, which should be detailed starting on page 71 of the TD6 manual. Assuming you're using Roland CY-8 cymbals, try starting with this:

Sensitivity - 12
Threshold - 6
Scan Time - 2 ms
Mask Time - 35 ms

If crosstalk is the issue, you should be able to adjust for that within the same menu. Obviously results may vary slightly due to the difference in modules, and possible manufacturing differences on the cymbals, and of course difference in placement of pads and cymbals around the kit. I'm guessing the most likely culprit will be your mask time though, I'm pretty sure that defaults to a really low value. Let me know if you're still having trouble, but hopefully these settings get you in the right ballpark.

I'll test these out tomorrow, thanks Elx.

I got the Crash where I want it earlier today, and just gotta fix the ride. It hits whenever I just hit my sticks in the air.

In that case you probably want to bring sensitivity down a little bit and crosstalk prevention up. Amusingly enough, although I have no issues anymore with cymbals not registering or overhitting, if I walk past my kit with the game on it will wind up triggering a green hit.

This happens to me sometimes for whatever reason. I'll just be sitting there after a song and I'll hear one of my CY8s go off randomly. It was the ride, but since I switched my ride with a CY12, my second crash that used to be my ride goes awry.

Is it the cymbal, or the setting for the cymbal within the module? I ask because it only happens when I'm playing RB, not when I'm playing outside of RB. Crosstalk?


Any help in resolving this issue would be great. I have a TD-4S, btw.
