“You are triggering the ‘Open 2’ articulation directly, not one of the ‘Trig’ notes, right?”
“Do you have a module attached and do you have a MIDI In/E-drums mapping Preset active?”
I use the Roland TD9 Preset so A#1 is the TipTrig articulation.
“I’m guessing you are not using the Trig scheme intended for opening and closing the HH via CC messages.”
Of course my CC messages are triggering the different open closed stages: why else would I achieve such a sound???
The issue is quite old: I already complained in 2014 on SD2 : https://www.toontrack.com/forum/superior-drummer-2-help/closing-variable-hihat-sounds-more-or-less-shaky/
The answer back then was the invitation to edit the CC curve but as I already said: “(ok, you might say: reduce the stages – but sometimes I want them!)”
If you still don’t know what I mean please compare the hihat CC reaction with AddictiveDrums or BFD – then you’ll easily learn the difference. And as I mentioned the variable hihat in these samplers does not react authentically [-> a max open stroke is only altered (muted) by the pedal articulation; increasing CC values (= relatively slow foot movement towards the closed position) won’t affect its release time!] BUT when playing e-drums I often prefer this behaviour because there won’t be any shaky or jittery sound.
@Olle said:
There is a new feature in SD3 that allows the user to construct a CC controlled switch
of their own. It is mostly intended for positional triggering of cymbals but it could
probably be used in your situation too.
Are you talking about the “Hi-Hat Pedal Control” with its slider points? Then I cannot see this is in any context of my claim…sorry.
Dear developers at TT, please ask yourself why nearly all other manufacturers of drum sampler software implement that different variable hihat reaction.
>No. It is in the MIDI in/E-drums settings tab. You select an incomming note, e.g. 46, and then,
in the Mapping and Response window, assign articulations to CC-zones. I asked around
and it seems that the maximum is 3 zones and that is probably not enough for you. I think that
limit may be increased in some future update.
Ok, you mean that kind of PositionalSensing feature? I’ll check this out. But remember: a high detailed hihat has 8 open closed stages…
>Our CC-hihats, on the other hand, are not implemented in the samplers but
in the soundlibraries. Some sound expansions may have exactly the kind of CC-hihat
you are after, if that suits the sounds, e.g. electronic sounds.
Come on, you shall know what kind of hihats I mean (“the variable hihat set up to many open-closed-stages” (from my first post)): the high detailed ones, otherwise my claim does not make any sense
>Because they can’t do what we do, mainly because they use diskstreaming.
AddictiveDrums uses diskstreaming??? And what does this have to do with diskstreaming??
I really appreciate the SD hihat in its current state (as it is most authentical despite these “artefacts”) and I know you guys do a fantastic job and I really am a TT fanboy (as a drum teacher I always recommend TT software to my students) but can’t you realize that software drummers should have a choice to also get the CC hihat the way I’m after? Listen to my sound file if you still ask why
ok, thank you Olof (and team). I’ll be patient and curious…
