Thanks for the quick replies!
Here’s what I’ve done so far, just in case this background helps. I initially had my TD-12 set up so my hihat was a VH-12. I noticed from watching a graph of the signal that the range of pedal motion that actually changed signal was tiny. So, I could set my offset so that when I closed my pedal it would give a tight sound perfect and open would give a fully open sound. But it was only using a tiny fraction of the pedals motion, such that I couldn’t ever get a consistent 1/4 or 1/2 open, it’s just rapidly bypass that and go out of range and read open. So I made due by setting my offset so that if a song needed a steady 1/4 open sound my minimum signal would be that. But if there was a song that needed a hihat riding beat, and then a closed hihat beat, I was kinda out of luck haha. 😉
When you use your hart pedal as a VH-12 do you find the pedal motion range that sends a valid signal is very small, John? Or is it possible that I have a less sensitive pedal? Do you use the hihat control adapter that Hart sends with their pedals?
Anyway, one day I accidentally set the hart hihat to be recognized as a VH-11 in the TD-12. Now, when I move the pedal, it gives a near perfect range in that every minuscule movement of the pedal from full down to full up is sending a useable CC value. The only downside is that it’s lowest signal it sends triggers a loosely closed hihat sound. In a perfect world, I could just use an offset in that setting to lower it about 20% and it would be exactly right. But with a VH-11 setting there is no offset that I can find. I’ve previously used the settings nirzfan suggested and that’s when I started to notice the improved dynamics of that hart pedal, but it still won’t let me get a closed sound.
So what’s where I am, with it set as a VH-12, I can get basically open or closed sounds with no useable mid range during live play. With a VH-11 setting, I can get great dynamics for everything from 1/4 open to full open but can’t seem to offset it to have my pedal send a CC value low enough to register as closed.
I’ll try using it in Solo with e-drums, but looking at the graph on my TD-12, I know it won’t send a control signal low enough for S2.0 to trigger a clsoed hihat sound. The lowest setting is just at the indicator line in the hihat tab of my TD-12. Is there a way in S2.0 to tweak the hihat control range? Like tell it that instead of a 0-127 range it has to use a ~20-127 range and to linearly interpolate from there? That would 100% solve my problem if there’s a way to tweak what CC notes trigger what hihat sound range.
Thanks again guys, and sorry for the wall of text. I just know there’s gotta be some way to make it work because the dynamics in the NirZ demos were flawless. 🙂
