Is there a way to use two different hi-hat stands with different hi-hats?
I picked up the New Breed by Gary Chester to work on my independence and he recommended a dual hi-hat setup. I saved up and got a second hi-hat plus stand. But now, I’m not sure how to best link that in with SD3.
I found a post but it’s not too helpful as far as solutions go. The poster ended up not using a foot pedal cc with that hi-hat.
(edit: my post was marked as spam so I had to delete the link)
My only solution so far is to:
- add a hi-hat as an additional instrument
- use the module to process the second hi-hat to happen on the software side, before it goes to SD3.
- have the module send a specific note depending on the pedal cc.
- correlate every articulation to a given note
I don’t see any option to use an edge or tip trigger when adding a hi-hat as a separate instrument, so this is the best way I could figure out to make it work, but it takes a very long time to get set up without being able to just use tip and edge triggers. And plus, if I want to change out the hi-hat, I have to go through the same process all over again. Brutal.
I imagined that SD3 would let me have a secondary pedal on a separate control channel (cc). I could then link the cc up with the second hi-hat just like we normally do, and use the tip and edge trigger articulations like normal.
I would really appreciate any help or suggestions because I’m totally clueless on the best way to do this. I keep telling myself I can’t be the only e-drummer that needs a secondary hi-hat stand in SD3 in order to practice independence
