I am getting very unnatural chopping-off of samples when working the pedal…

I too am getting this problem with my Roland TD-3.
The transmitted TD-3 midi data is as follows:

Pedal hat=G#1

Closed hi-hat (bow) = F#1
Open Hi-Hat (bow) = A#1

Open Hi-Hat (Edge) = A#-1
Closed Hi-Hat (Edge) = D0

Hats foot controller = cc4

How should these notes be mapped to the various S 2.0 articulations for the hi-hats to achieve a smoother, more realistic response?

EDIT:
OK, i think I’ve got it. I’ve mapped all the “hits” (apart from pedal hat) to hatsTrig and that seems to work.
I think the problems I’m experiencing are to do with the calibration of the Roland FD-8 foot controller. It’s tough to get a “lightly opened” sound.
Time to spend some more cash I think!
