Re: S2, still having problems getting the hi-hat to play realistically…

[robertgeorge]

Thanks very much for your help Rouge and I’m really trying to solve this problem for me and others and do not mean to disagree BUT the TD-20/VH-12 puts out the same 2 notes D0 and A#1 (and only those 2) regardless if it is open or closed. It uses CC4 to tell the TD-20 if it is open or closed but uses only those 2 notes for the bow/edge. I have both tip/ring/sleeve cables connected and it’s working perfectly. I’m looking right at the midi notes on my screen. When I record ALL the different hi hat articulations from the TD-20/VH-12 and play them back FROM my TD-20 they ALL play back perfectly (bow,edge, closed and open pedal) So I know it’s putting out (and receiving) the correct midi data. When I try and follow your directions (thanks for the detail) and get to trying to map the closed edge and tip – S2 will not take a second instance of those same 2 note numbers D0 and A#1) I guess Roland changed this in the TD-20. (do you have a TD-20/VH-12 to test this?) Hopefully is shedding some light on the problem.
