Editing how open the hi-hat is in with EZDrummer in logic Pro

[DiBosco]

Folks,

I’ve played a drum line into Logic using a Roland kit and Ezdrummer;  it’s a good take that I’d like to slightly mod. Somehow the hi-hat became very closed at one poimt and I’d like ot tweak it it so it’s more open like the rest of the song. I don’t remembering it sounding tightly closed when I played it, but then I was concentrating on the playing.

Looking in the events list I can see notes, P-Touch and foot controller information. the notes are obvious in that the hat is Asharp1 (sorry can’t see a sharp symbol on this Mac keyboard), and I can see its velocities. (There a rel value, what does rel stand for? Releasse, relative?)

The p-touch values ALWAYS are 0 (zero).

Is there  way to edit this so I can open up the hat (and close it for future reference) from the piano roll/event list? There must be some sort of contoller info that is stored. If I press my foot on the hi hat pedal I can see logic logging controller value, if I record a little just pressing harder and softer on the hi hat pedal that show controller number 4 going up and down, but if I play back a section when the hat suddenly closes right up, that value doesn’t move to something more than one or two different to the normal value of 73 amd it varies between 72 and 74 just like the rest of the song where it’s just a little open, not fully closed.

I know I could drop in with a another take, but this is something I’ve been wondeirng about for ages and is worth understanding.

Thanks!

You can always redraw the CC4 values in Logic’s piano roll or Step Editor if you are looking to fine tune it that way.

If I look in the step editor it’s the same kind if thig, I can’t see anything changing in any of that infiormation that tells me why the hat is suddenly tighly closed. What is the control that suddenly makes the hi-hat closed up? I see no CC4 values in the step editor, but I do see Foot Contol whose value chamges little throughout the song. What am I needing to find/ look for and change here?

 

I also don’t understand why (and this separate to the closed hat thing) soetimes the hi-hat is played as D0 and sopmetimes as A#1.

If you are familiar with Logic Environment you can correct anything.

I have build a Map instrument and I use EzDrummer as a player only, I am very pleased with it’s sound.

In case this helps someone else: 74 seems to tbe the magic number for the controller value. once you hit that it really chokes the hi-hat, below that it’s not that senstiive in terms of how much it changes the sound. No idea whether something needs changing on the Roland kit to make sure it’s harder to hit that value or something in ezdrummer, but that seemed to have been the big issue here

If it’s a case of setting hi-hat zones, you can do that in the MIDI/E-drums settings of Superior Drummer. You can then save it as a custom mapping to use with any preset.
