More VH-11 questions

[Chris Kidd]

Hi guys I stuck this up on the v-drums forum but didn’t have any luck getting answers. Anyone here up to the challenge?
 
I’ve been using my TD-12 with superior 2 and have a few questions about the workings of the VH-11 that hopefully some of you can help me with. I’ve been closing the clutch screw so that with my foot down I get a CC value of 127 and when the pedal’s open I’m getting about 20.

1) How is a foot chick generated? Is it CC data that generates the midi note and if so, how?

2)I always thought that the hi hat only generated 2 notes, one for the edge and one for the bow and that the pedal position defined how open or closed the note should be, but I noticed that with my foot right down, 2 different notes are generated for closed bow and edge. If i limit the CC value to say 110 then only the 2 different notes are generated but I still achieve closed sounds using the S2 curves and still get a foot chick. I guess what I’m asking is which is the best method to use with S2, should I be sending 2 or 4 hi hat notes or does it not really make any difference.

Cheers

1) Foot chick is a separate MIDI note sent by the module G#1 or note 44
 
2) hihats usually generate notes in the open and closed positions, if it is a 2 zone hat it will be bow and edge in both open and closed positions…..S2 will convert all these notes, both open and closed,  to hatstiptrig for bow and hitstrig for edge.  So it won’t matter to S2 if your module is sending 2 or 4 notes as long as you can achieve all articulations.  It may make a difference if you are not solely using S2 sounds but also using the sounds from the module however.
