I, like many others here, am bent on having the perfect high-hat setup with superior 2. Now there are some kind folk who have offered templates but I think the best way is to setup your own system and for that you really need to understand how it works.
For me everything is clear except the system of CC4 with HATSCTRL.
How does Superior understand these messages exactly? My understanding is that the high-hat sends a note when it is hit in the open position and a different note when it is hit in the closed poistion. In the TD12 brain you can set the “Hi-hat Note Number Border” which decides at which point the sound changes from “open” to “closed”.
But! When you play the hi-hat (with Superior or alone) it is possible to get a whole range of sounds between open and closed and indeed in the “Articulations” menu of the hi-hat (using the DFH Exs for eg) there are “Open 1” “Open 2” “Open 3” and “Open 4”.
So how does Superior understand that it must play a slightly more closed sound when the actual note doesn’t change (only the CC4) and if this is the case how can I make Superior “Learn” these positions directly for the Open 1,2,3 and 4 articulations?
Thanks for your indulgence, I think this will really help myself and others to better understand the workings of Superior and the drum brains together.

ETA If I choose each “open 1,2,3,4” articulation in turn and “Learn” the hi-hat sound by hitting it, this doesn’t seem to work.
Don't worry, this won't hurt a bit...
