(I'm crying right now) I am kidding of course but I do feel a bit helpless Bottom line it still doesn't sound really good and authentic.

Plus even though I can now open the hi-hat when playing it is not a hal-open that is triggered, it is a fully open, so it takes ages to fade. But it you give closed HH as a midi note to the HH controler (with the foot down) it again triggers something else, and messes up the HH itself. When you try to choose the HH controler on the drum module it gives you the HH itself ! I figured it's normal since it belongs with the HH, the name on the screen are the same.

I mean when you put your foot down it should make the same sound as it does when you do it on practice mode (namely a hi-hat being closed) But no, it triggers a crash :/Īnd the funniest thing you cannot set-up the MIDI note of the HH pedal/controler. I tried every possible setting, it doesn't work :/ only workaround I have found: mute that crash on my software. So on my recording each time I play an open hi-hat, just after you can hear a crash (I am crying right now). Like the Tom was triggering the crash and the HH edge three things at a time (Kick-Snare-Crash: bongos !).Īfter I did a little fine-tuning I've managed to get everything in order and the HH to open when I lift my foot from the controler, but ! (yes there is a but).Īfter I lifted my left foot to get that swishy hi-hat sound, I have to put it down again to close the hi-hat right ? Well at this very moment it trigers a crash !! a crash yes. On cubase I had to re-do the midi note attribution of each pad though. Now, I've had a friend of mine lend me is Roland TD4-kp. Plus as mentionned earlier you cannot open the hit-hat with your left foot. Even with fine tuning of the settings the signal is suuuuuper weak and the hi-hat misses a lot of notes. But first I would like to say: do not buy an Alesis Nitro for MIDI recording. I'v had the time to run a couple of test. If you ask me, the MIDI Standard was never very well thought out, especially where Drums are concerned, and needs to be completely redesigned. On Roland, MIDI Note# 23 is usually used for Brush Sweep, and MIDI Note# 21 is unassigned on the Module (Channel 10). These Notes are not assigned in GM#1 or GM#2.

Therefore you need to program your receiving MIDI Device or Software to assign and play a Half-Open Hi-Hat Sound to MIDI Note# 23 and a Splash sound to MIDI Note# 21. Hi-Hat Pedal MIDI Note# 44 (same as GM#1) Hi-Hat Closed MIDI Note# 42 (same as GM#1)

I see on page 38 that Alesis has implemented a non-standard It would be up to the receiving MIDI Device or Software to interpret the Open Note Numbers and the Pedal Control Change Message value and change the degree of open sound accordingly. The default is 127, meaning that the Module sends the Closed Notes when the value os 127, and the Open notes for any other value. The Hi-Hat Note# Border determines the value of the Foot Pedal position at which the Module switches between transmitting the Closed MIDI Note numbers, or the Open MIDI Note numbers. (Rockband implemented this very well in the Training Area, but not at all in the actual Performance Area). It would be up to the receiving MIDI device to interpret that input and change the associated Hi-Hat sound accordingly.

The Pedal Control Change Message (on CC #4) transmits a value for the position of the Hi-Hat pedal. There is no note assigned for Half-Open Hi-Hat. Pedal Hi-Hat Close MIDI Note# 44 (same as GM#1) Open Hi-Hat Bow MIDI Note# 46 (same as GM#1) The Hi-Hat MIDI Notes are transmitted according to the position of the Foot Pedal (Open or Closed) on MIDI Channel# 10Ĭlosed Hi-Hat Bow MIDI Note# 42 (same as GM#1)

From what I know, the MIDI Standards never really implemented anything around HiHat very well, and the MIDI implementation on Drum Kits does not seem to support degrees of openness of Hi-Hat, and depends more on the sending and receiving MIDI devices or Software to mutually agree.
