HELP!! Hi Hat pedal open transition artifacts

[jedijj98]

I’m using a Roland TD-11 kit with a kd-8 HH pedal and have noticed there are artifacts little pop noises when playing my hi-hat.  I’ve been messing around with the hi-hat pedal response in real time while playing my kit and it seems like the problem is between the open 1 -6 transitions where it cuts off the sample.  So you get a pop noise.  So it’s basically unplayable.  I’ve done some research online but can’t find an official response or solution.

I would think it would be an easy fix where the sample just needs to sustain the notes as long as they are transitioning from different levels of openness??

Is there a fix, is this something that will be fixed in an update?   I’d like to see ToonTrack give a definitive answer on this so I don’t consider buying any hardware upgrade.

I don’t know how with such an amazing program and great samples that this was overlooked…It will basically render SD3 useless for me if I can’t get it fixed.

You mean something like this:

Link 1 + Link 2

I’ve developed a workaround: you can toggle between 2 hihat engines (the orig. Toontrack vs. my clean one)

For anyone who may be searching… like I was…

Followed the suggestion from a member on another thread (thanks again!).

I made a hybrid kit with my TD17 combined with SD3.

Made a new kit in the module, turned down all pads except the hi-hat.

In SD3 I turned off the hi-hat & all associated bleeds etc. Now my entire kit is triggered by SD3 except for the hihat which is from the module library. Hihat works perfectly now (however, effects from SD3 wont be applied to hi-hat, which is ok if your kit is dry). This will do until Toontrack come up with a fix… if ever 😉
