Simmons Titan 70 HitHat Pedal Triggers Kick Drum Issue

[rkinghmb]

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

I had this issue with my Simmons SD1000. Try using the presets from Medeli DD522 and see if it goes away. If it does, there is a line in the presets called “AutoAtOff”. If it disappears, you may have to do what I did: save the Titan 70 as a user preset, find the file (not sure where it is on a Windows OS), open it with a text editor, and drop that AutoAtOff into the code. Put it near the bottom, reason for the Medeli settings, I think they are the ones who built the Simmons, and they just rebranded them. Probably long explaination but that seem to work for most of my issues with the Simmons module and EZDrummer3

Code at the bottom should look like this. I made it bold to make it easier to recognize.

HatsSplash 1 42
HatsPedalMode hhLibDefault
AutoAtOff
MidiInChannel -1
BlockProgram 1
}

Thank you Brian for the thoughtful response.  You must have spent a lot of time figuring all of this out.

The change to Medeli DD522 unfortunately didn’t work so I will see if I can use your 2nd option.

Seems pretty technical for me so hopefully support can provide me with some help.

 

Thanks again for reaching out to try to provide help.

Hi,

according to the Titan Preset, the Kick drum should be @ #36 and the Pedal @ #44.

The ‘Trigger’ note for the HH would be #42 (and/or #46) and CC4 controls the openness of the HH.
If you start manually Learning the HH, you lose the control over openness and natural transitions. The only note(s) that can be Learned for the HH are the ‘Trigger’ notes and the ‘Pedal Closed’.

If you have the Pedal Closed triggered correctly but still also get a Kick drum sound, I would. look at cross-talk settings in the module.

BR,
John
