HXW Avatar PDL HH-191 pedal for the PD705 Percussion Pad
The Avatar PDL-HH191 is a surprisingly nice foot switch that can work for both bass drum or hi hat for the Avatar PD705 percussion pad. Pick one up at https://amzn.to/3Ujh2bp.

TENDENCY OF DOUBLE TRIGGER? HIGH? LOW? OR NONE.
I'd like to know if this is compatible with KAT KTMP1 and Yamaha DTX Multi 12. Thank you !
Will it work for alesis sample pad?
Is it compatible to pyle pted06
Is it compatible for cpd 1000?
how to adjust the tension??
What sensitivity and threshold settings do you have the Yamaha ku100 on? I’m trying to do double bass and I’m getting double triggering.
I have just bought one of these. i have an issue that the sound is triggered when you realease the pedal, not when you depress the pedal. Any idea whta I am doing wrong? I am using and Alesis Strike pad.
To crash with the little “eep” is diabolical ???? 2:38
Can you use this on 708?
Will it work with a KAT Multi Pad ?
Avatar Pedal Jack Size?
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.
Is there any way to change the hi-hat pad to something other than Pad 9???
Boa tarde, sou brasileiro, comprei um sample avatar recentemente e tenho que comprar os pedais, de hihat e bumbo, acredito que estou bem confiante em comprar um pedal avatar depois de seu vídeo, obrigado.
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.
What electronic kick pedal would you recommend?
The toe heel toe technique works with this pedal for doubles?
Do you know if this would work with the Alesis Nitro as a kick drum pedal replacement?
Thank you for the information ????❤????????????????
I have bought a Yamaha HH65 and it's able to switch but not trigger the pedal part.
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 ?
Compatible Lekato cpd1000?
is this compatible for alesis nitro mesh as hihat controller?
Good afternoon can I use the Yamaha KU 100 on this Machine?
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?
Is there a tune acoustic drum?
I have a avatar pedal set to kick ang i use a sustain pedal as a hi hat why the open hi hat sound will make a sound even if i step on the sustain pedal? Do you have any idea?
Would it work for the Pyle PTE?
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.
As a hihat pedal, is it only open and close, or do you have in between?
i have a DTX drums yamaha 400k, i can use this pedals?
