On the screen you just showed, click on the right side where it says “Hi-Hat & Snare CC”
Then right below that, click where it says “Hi-Hat Pedal Control”
You will then see a series of dots on a slider that you can move up and down. You’ll want to move the bottom two dots to get your “Tight” and “Closed” where you need them so that when your pedal is pressed all the way down you get the sound you want.
You’ll be able to see over in the lower left of that panel what the CC values are that your pedal is sending. It should in theory go all the way up to 127 when it’s fully depressed, but yours may stop at something much lower, like 90 or so. Just move the dots at the right up so the numbers are at the thresholds your pedal sends.

It’s pretty easy to figure out once you play around with it. I can’t really explain it a lot better than that briefly.  

Thanks for taking the time to respond Yeah, I was just playing around with that with the “generic” midi selected and it definitely honed things in on the hi-hat. I’m gonna try it with Roland as the MIDI now to see if it works.

Well, I changed the MIDI from Roland to Generic and that seems to have resolved my hi-hat issues but still kinda weird that the ‘correct’ Roland MIDI setting doesn’t work.

For example, is there an explanation like this anywhere for SD3? http://www.graysonkilmer.com/2015/09/03/how-to-setup-the-hi-hat-pedal-in-superior-drummer-2

Hi,

did you open the MIDI In/E-drums page and select the Roland Preset?

What does the input Analyzer tell you when you’re on that page, does it register notes and CC when you hit the HH and move your foot?

BR,

Hi John,

Yes, selecting the Roland Preset was the first thing I did. I have attached a screen shot of what I see when stepping on/off the hi-hat pedal without hitting the hi-hat. I’m just trying to get a baseline or some place to start

I guess I’ll start another thread as I still can’t get this to work.

This person might be experiencing the issue I’m trying to resolve. When playing with my Roland TD-1K, the high hat pedal doesn’t open/close the high hat. When the pedal is pressed down, it’s still an open high hat. The EZDrummer demo did not have this issue. The demo just worked right out of the box. Also, in the demo, the sound of each piece of the kit was even but in SD3 the levels are all over the place. Super quite kick and a really loud snare etc… Hopefully, this is just beginner frustration…
