I would guess that the Mintberry Crunch fix bypasses the Superior Drummer 3 internal hi-hat engine to a degree by using the incoming CC4 from the e-drum module to target specific MIDI notes in Superior Drummer 3 by way of some 3rd party software or internal DAW MIDI transformer, the aim being that moving the pedal alone does not cause a transmute (a transmute will always be triggered by a new note). You can achieve the same result by using the ‘Note-Triggered Transition’ setting in Superior Drummer 3.

If you want a more natural feel where the hi-hat continues to transmute whilst opening the hi-hat you should select ‘E-drum Optimised’. With this setting closing the hi-hat will not generate a transmute unless a new hit is triggered. This setting is particularly useful for users with moving hi-hats, such as the Roland VH series, where hitting the hi-hat can cause a deflection into the next more closed articulation before rebounding back. This behaviour in Superior Drummer 3 is only achievable using the internal hi-hat engine.

We are always looking at new ways of improving hi-hat performance for e-drummers but unfortunately due to the non-linear behaviour of a hi-hat, particularly when more open, crossfading alone does not currently provide realistic enough results.

Apologies for the confusion. The Wendel presets used the Insimmonable Touch preset with the snares and kicks swapped out. We have updated the website to make this clearer.

It definitely should not sound like that. I would recommend going to the Hitmaker SDX in the Product Manager and selecting verify/download again from the drop down and then re-installing.

Did you do a full or partial installation?

The Amb Ribbon mic channel is routed to an ambience bus with a high amount of bit reduction. The sound is intended.

Just tried it out with some Phil Colins tracks, sounds pretty awesome to me.

A few errors in some of the Hugh Padgham presets not mapping to the default Kick drum though, it defaults to the right side drum, which is not there.

We are currently looking into this issue. It seems to be related to selecting the e-drum preset whilst in some other libraries then navigating to the Hitmaker. If you are experiencing this issue as a temporary workaround you can try setting the e-drum preset to default then re-selecting your desired e-drum preset.
