timing is off between drumset and Rock Pedal.

[nudgie]

I want to apologize now if this has been talked about before, but I don't know what is going on, so I don't know what to search for.

Basically, when I hit one of the drum pads and the pedal at the same time, there is delay between the two; I'm talking about 60ms or so, but it's there and driving me crazy. The pedal strikes first, even though i'm stepping on the pedal and hitting the pad at the same time.

I've tried adjusting my timing so that i step on the pedal a little later, but it feels much too strange.

Anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix within the game or an adjustment on the Rock Pedal itself? I've looked at both, but I can't seem to find one that does the trick.

I hope someone knows what to do.

Thanks,

Nudgie

Sorry that I personally don't have the answer. But I would ask CENACHAINGANG54 or ask the people that sold you the pedal.

How is the timing with the original plastic pedal? I would start from there personally. Good luck.:)

the timing is fine with the plastic pedal.

I now think it has to do with the sensor, but don't think there is anything to be done about it.

When you press the pedal, it activates the bass sooner than the plastic pedal does.

I wish there were a way to make it activate at the bottom, when pedal strikes base.

I would suggest trying to adjust the pedal so that it only goes down far enough to trigger the hit.

on that page they have a video on how to return it to factory settings, which should help show you how to make it stop when the pedal triggers the sensor.

Adjust the pedal upward, reduce the distance it needs to travel. It just sounds like you have it too close to the sensor.

Thanks, I'll go look at that now.

I was complaining about this exact same thing last night. Cept i'm using the original pedal still, so not sure what I can do about it either. You just described exactly what is happening to me as well though.

Nudgie try these steps first. First let's reset the pedal so you have a clean start for you adjustment. This is best described in this video by jordan.

The next thing you want to do is calibrate your tv with the game in the gaming options. Sounds like your calibration may be slightly off. It is possible for it to be off and have it work just fine with the stock, as this has happened to me.

Now that the pedal is still reset to the factory settings, go into practice mode select a song and see if it is still off.

Now on the calibration since they released the patch to fix it, the auto settings works fine for me and my tv.

Then from there if it is hitting on time, adjust the pedal until you are comfortable.

This will react differently depending if you are using a practice pad or not.

Let me know how it goes

Since you are using the stock you need to just try to recalibrate

Nudgie: You need to change the relationship between the pedal, the stopping point, and the sensor. First go watch the top video at www.rockpedal.com/support then read the directions I'm about the write. Watching the video will make my directions make much more sense.

Now, put your left hand on the side post of the pedal like shown in the video to keep everything still over there. With your right hand, use the key to loose the bolt by the chain. There are two, it's the lower one--the one closer to the actual pedal. Your goal is to move that metal mechanism (with the patent number on it) up or down until you fix your problem while your right hand is keeping everything else steady. Your are change the relationship between the parts. Note: Pedal height is separate from this. Once you set this, you can set the height without changing this setting at all. So don't worry about pedal height right now. This setting will seem to change the height, but we can lower or raise it later with another adjustment.

If you adjust too far down, your pedal will clank the practice pad clip. If you adjust too far up your pedal will bottom out before triggering the sensor. Everything in between is the zone where the pedal works. It's not a spot, it's more of a zone. Now you have to fiddle with it to get it to your preferred spot. This is can only be done with the "guess and check" method.

Okay, hope this helps. Please email me again if it does not and I'll make sure you're good to go in the end.

That is the problem I've had to deal with on my pedal mod since the beginning. The reed switch is positioned to trigger early, before the beater hits the head. Of course I could move the reed switch further away, but then I run the risk of accidental double hits from the small rebounds that occur next to the pad.

The way I solved the problem is both silly and brilliant at the same time. I fasioned a 100 ft speaker cable into a reed switch mod. The extra distance causes a small degree of lag...enough to fix the problem. :D
