hmm...No answers...hello!! Anybody out there?

Okey - I had to do the task myself...
First - I found a useful post. http://www.megadrum.info/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1523&start=0 how to setup a 3 Zone Roland Trigger Cymbal.

I connected my CY-15R to Aux3 (for Bow/Bell) and Aux4 (for Bow/edge)
I then completed the steps in the metioned in the post above. (but to be really honest...what do really step 6 do? - I could not see any changes on my system)

Then, I used the configuration settings from a Roland CY-8 to have something to start from. (Highlevels, threshold, etc)

After completing the scenario - I started tweaking. I am using Addictive Drums, so doing midi note mapping is easy using the midi mapping window found in AD.

In AD you have the following Ride sounds: Bell, Tip, Shaft and a cc:pos Tip to shaft sound (4 different) The damped note is set to 63. You see exactly when the right note trigger the right sound.

After some work and testing using the fine midi monitor in MegaDrum Manager tweaking a bit more...I got some really great results: All functions works fine! Even damping. The real progress came when setting head on Aux4 to to O. I have not been using the cc:pos tip>Shaft sound yet...but It is totally possible to use 4 different zone areas + damping. For now I am using 3 Zones. I found a nice drawing how CY-15R is working:

Still - I am open for recommendations on the settings above!

You can now find a small movie clip when playing on the Roland CY-15R, MegaDRUM-32 against Addictive Drums.
