Lemon hi hat controller with Simmons Titan 70

[chermanpa@gmail.com]

The Simmons Titan 70 has a non-movable Hi Hat.  It’s controlled by a simple foot pedal.  Using the Lemon Hi Hat controller on the module, I am able to get open and closed sound but no “half open” or variance of sound between full open and full closed.  However, I am able to get the effect of hitting the cymbal pad with rapid closing the hi hat giving that “sits” sound, as if I were using a real hi hat (well almost).   What I want to know is if going through or using EZ Drummer 3 as a VST, can I get the computer act more like a true hi hat, truer sound and functionality like the effect one gets with the newer Roland VH-14 paired with the Roland V 51 module as an example?   Also, as the snare pads are dual zone, will EZ Drummer allow me to have side stick function?

Thanks for any feedback you all can give me.

Hi,

if I understand your question correctly, your HH Controller is perfectly capable of sending CC data for EZdrummer 3 to control the level of openness but your module isn’t triggering it?
AFAICT your module should be capable of sending continuous controller data for cc4 so either there is a setting in the module that needs to be changed or they simply aren’t compatible. EZD3 will react to what is sent to it from the module. I would switch LOCAL=OFF in the module and check the data out from it by recording the MIDI when you move the HH up/down to start with.

Hi John, I am excited to use the ezdrummer product but can’t until I get the issue resolved below.  Can you provide me with some suggestions to see if  I can get the product to work with my drum kit?  Thanks.

 

I have the Simmons Titan 70 kit preset.

I was able to use the “learn” mapping feature to fix other buggy issues with other cymbals/drums but can’t fix the hi hat pedal issue.

When it step on the hi hat pedal I also get a kick drum. I tried mapping the hi hat but it keeps triggering a kick drum. The hi hat pedal control is at CC4.

My kick drum is #32.

No where in all of my hi hat settings do a see a #32 only pedal control CC4.

When I unplug the cord to the hi hat pedal my kick drum doesn’t register in ezdrummer so something is messed up.

How do remove the kick drum from being triggered when I step on the hi hat pedal.

 

Thanks,

Randy
