    8 is a weird number for hats anyway, honestly, I'm not sure I'd ever seen that before. Everything else seems close enough to General MIDI standard. This is probably likely because your module is interpreting everything from a Continuous Controller rather than MIDI notes like a lot of synths expect, but 8 is still an odd choice.

    I'd be inclined to change Hi-Hat Open to 46 and Hi-Hat Closed to 42 just to get them similar to GM standard (and probably change Hi-Hat Pedal to 44, and Hi-Hat Splash to maybe 46 as well unless there's a specific mapping for the softsynth that exposes a Splash). The full list is here:

    So, I've changed the midi note to 9, and it does indeed split them between two notes, so that's great!

     

    How though, do I go ahead and do this now? If I change the midi note to 46, then I just get the open hat, but nothing when I press the pedal down, and I can't independently set the closed to 42?

  2. Hi guys,

     

    I'm very new here, and to midi recording in general, but have been drumming most my life.

    I'm having some issues with the Hi-hat on midi tracks via a Alesis Crimson SE2. Having spent a fair amount of time searching online, I know I'm not the first to have this problem, however, most solutions seem to assume much more base knowledge of this type of thing than I have.

    So, plugging the kit in, easy enough. I have created a instrument track using the default virtual instrument in Cakewalk, and everything else sounds fine, but the hi-hat I get nothing.

     

    I've read online about the midi note being set to 8, and have experimented changing this number to match the default 'open' hat in the virtual kit. When I do this, I get an open hat sound, but then I get nothing with the pedal closed. Likewise, I've mapped it to the closed pedal, obviously resulting in a closed pedal sound (With the pedal physically up), but again nothing when I hold the pedal down.  I have also tried remapping, in the drum map on Cakewalk, the open hi-hat to midi number 8, but this doesn't seem to yield any results at all.

     

    So, long story short, how do I get the hi-hat to function through midi properly via the default Cakewalk virtual kit? I'm a bit stuck now, and would much rather not have to spend more money on an audio interface and lose the midi functionality.

     

    Thanks
