Open to Closed Hi-Hat sound with one hit?

[deathbydrumming]

I am a finger drummer and I am trying to setup an open to closed sound of the hi-hat (where your foot would normally quickly close the hi-hat) using one pad on a pad controller. I can get this sound using two pads, one hit for the open sound and one hit on another pad for the closed hi-hat which quickly chokes it. Is there a way to get this open to closed sound to happen, with just a single ‘hit’, almost like it’s automated?Thank You

You would be able to do this on a single pad is if your pad controller supported firing a MIDI note on release of the pad. Then, you could set it up to fire a closed hi-hat articulation. Otherwise, you can use the open pedal articulation along with midi cc4 tied to a control knob on your controller to manipulate the position of the hi-hat.

Thank you for responding. Looks like I can’t do either of these with just the Novation Launchpad X.

Unless you can program the pressure sensitivity to trigger a note or MIDI CC. I know this is possible with the Maschine Mikro on up.

Also, you have 64 pads, so you’re not really starving for pads in most common finger drumming situations.
