    I am in the same situation. I use a remote hat on my right. I would love to know this answer as well. From my experience so far, I can only program one hi hat but, perhaps I’m doing it incorrectly. Great question!

    Hi! I did a work around a few yeaes ago when I had a second hihat on one Module.

    If you mount a second hihat pad and connect it to an aux on the module, just tell the trigger input to play the same note than the already existing hihat. But tge point is, that you want different sounds, right??

    Hope you find a solution and let us all know!!!👍

    Cheers, Ilja

    If you mean a permanent closed HH woth “deadhat”, that normally shouldn’t be a problem. If you have a sdx or ezx with some HH-Stacks or so . . . just add that stack let it learn the midi note of your second HH pad.

    Or am I thinking to simple???

    No dead hat. For me personally, I want a working hi-hat on my right, hence the remote HH stand instead of a cymbal mount.

    Van2112 . . . have you tried to use different Midichannels for each HH? Perhaps this could be a way????

    Hi,

    it won’t work in a single instance of SD3. SD3 isn’t built for handling two HH’s and also; since the CC4 data to control the openness of the HH is received by the instance, how would it “know” which CC4 data was meant for each HH?

    You need a host that can handle the Inputs from your modules separately and load one instance that just has a HH loaded for the 2nd one.

    Hi John,
    thanks for that information! But two pads triggering one and the same HH with just one footcontroller will work right???

    Well, to correct myself somewhat: You can actually add a HH as an extra Instrument and map the separate articulation notes to something outside the range already in use (and also set those notes in the other module) but the key thing is the CC4 data. The added HH Instrument will not react to it.

    I have done this successfully, using an additional instrument and a separate CC for the controller (CC5 in my case, set in an eDrumIn module). What was tough was finding enough available/usable midi notes to capture all of the articulations in the second hihat to have it full-featured.  But it is possible (albeit not simple).
