Annoying Hi-Hat problem with E-Drum EZDRUMMER2

[Automaton]

Hi, I’m getting an annoying problem with EZDRUMMER2. I have a Roland TD1Kv that connects via USB to my PC. I use a Scarlett 2i4 interface for the output with 3ms buffer time. I use this in Reaper.

I didn’t get this problem until today, it seemed fine in the past (I had a problem with my hi-hat pedal, but the curve profile fixed that). The problem is, whenever I hit the hi-hat on my TD-1Kv, on the “rebound” of the hi-hat (however small), i.e. when the hi-hat bounces back up a little, it registers it as another hit. This makes it impossible to record even the simplest of beats. I’ve tried moving the hi-hat around, loosening it, tightening it etc. Nothing seems to work. I also don’t think it’s a problem with the kit because when I play it through my speakers directly from the kit module, and not through MIDI/EZDRUMMER, it works fine. Does anyone have any advice?

The only thing that comes to mind is that EZDrummer is responding to a MIDI note being sent, why the module is not triggering it, I can’t say. You might try reducing the sensitivity for the hi-hat and see if that helps to not trigger those events being sent to Reaper and then EZD2.

I’m not quite sure how I’d go about reducing the sensitivity for it, I don’t know if there’s a sensitivity thing on the module, just volume. But I did notice it happens maybe <5% of the time from the module's speakers, and not very loudly, whereas in EZDRUMMER it happens maybe 30-40% of the time and much more louder and noticeable.

I found this out at the Roland KB, perhaps might help; https://www.rolandus.com/support/knowledge_base/201919879
