    Hi
     
    As you are not using TT solo you need to go into Superiors settings to get the hats working correctly.
     
    First off you need to make sure the MIDI note numbers that your TD-20 is sending for your hihat match those in Superior 2. You can use Superiors ‘MIDI learn’ functions for this.

    Go to the bottom right hand corner of the Superior 2 interface. Here you will find the ‘Instrument’ pane. You need to select the required instrument, ie hats, and then the first articulation to be set, Hatstrig (this appears low down the list), from the dropdown menu. After you have selected this articulation you press the ‘learn’ button that appears in the bottom right of the Instrument pane and with your hihat pedal in the open position strike the hihat on the edge. Repeat this with your foot in the closed position. S2 should now have learnt the edge note your TD-20 is sending.

    You then need to repeat this whole process for the HatsTipTrig articulation, this time hitting the bow of the hihat instead of the edge.

    After this you need to make sure S2 is receiving the correct continuous controller information. Go to the articulation dropdown and select HatsCtrl and make sure it is set to CC4 if it is not set already. You can do this by typing CC4 in the ‘key’ box.

    Finally for this first part you need to set the Closed pedal articulation by following the aforementioned steps and ,instead of hitting the hihat, pushing down on your footpedal until the hihat closes.

    Next, and this is the important part for getting the closed and tight notes, you need to make sure the upper limit of CC4 data sent by your TD-20 is equivalent to the closed or tight hihat articulation in S2.

    To do this you need to, again, go to the instrument pane in the bottom right hand corner, select Hats from the instrument dropdown and hatsCtrl from the articulations dropdown. Below the articulation dropdown there is a small button that says ‘edit articulation only’ – press this so it illuminates blue. Now go to the voices and layers pane to the left of the instrument pane and close your VH-12 hihat (tightly) . Whilst hitting your hihat reduce the ‘hard’ value in the velocity ctrl section until you can attain closed or tight closed hihats (the latter will require the value to be a little lower).

    There’s no way to put that in some kind of file lika a midi file or something? Did I have to do all that everytime I change computer? If it’s like that I’m done…. it’s very tuff and takes to long…

    You can save a general preset or a specific MIDI preset

    Doesn’t this accomplish the same thing?

    Download the edrum preset in this thread:

    and follow all the installation instructions. After installation, make sure that you select it as instructed further down in the same thread.

    You might still find that the hi hat works slightly better in TT solo, but this should be very close.
