While eliminating transitions on downward travel helps, the real problem for me (and many others) is purely in the unnaturalness of the transitions themselves, regardless of direction.

They sound fine when you’re hitting the hat a lot while opening them (since the distinction between openness levels is less clear), but if you give it one good hit, then open the hat in a somewhat slow and controlled manner, you can very clearly hear the jarring “staircase” of different audio files loading in without any crossfading or smoothness whatsoever.

This sounds incredibly unnatural and basically makes that type of hi hat hit (which is common in lower tempo grooves) unplayable.

I understand it’s a technically challenging problem, but I don’t see why this isn’t a high priority. Nailing down realistic openness transitioning would be a total game changer.

I’m not sure what you guys are talking about with the fix being implemented in 3.2.5. I’m currently on 3.3.6 and everything OP said in his initial post from 6 years ago perfectly describes what I’m experiencing, even with the “E-drum optimized” setting selected.

The transitions between different openness states is not smooth at all; it’s like an abrupt staircase where each steps sounds like a new audio file turning on instantly and its sounds incredibly unnatural.

Am I missing something? Why am I experiencing this if there was a supposed fix?
