I’m having the same issue.

I am running S2.2.1 with a TD-20 & VH-11 hi hat. I never even noticed this until I started recording the midi into Sonar. I’ve done factory resets but it still happens.

I’m pretty happy with the hi hat response in SD except for this issue. In Sonar, when I close the hi hat pedal, the midi notes show up as G#3 (the closed hi hat) and F#3 (closed bow/tip). And if I knew that a VH-12 would solve the problem I’d consider it since I plan on using SD as my main VST.

I thought I was the only one with this issue, I’m glad it’s not just me. If you ever figure it out please post here..I’ll do the same.

Regards,

Phil

I found that by setting the TD-12 HH to the VH-12 (even though I am using a VH-11) corrected the issue.

Really? I think I tried that once but couldn’t get a smooth transition between open and closed hats. I assume the TD-12 would behave the same as a TD-20.

Did you make some other tweaks as well beyond simply changing the trigger type to VH-12? And if so, would you mind posting your settings? I’d love to give it a try.

Thanks.

I am also unable to get a totally smooth transition, but I can’t say I was able to get one using the VH-11 setting either.

My settings:

Offset – -31
Foot Splash Sens – +5
Noise Cancel – 1
CC Resolution – High
HH Note# Border – 80

I really couldn’t tell much of a difference when adjusting most of these settings, so I’m not sure they are anything to go by.

Since I use this for studio recording, I have just been dealing with any issues by manually editing the HH note and controller data in my MIDI editor.

I spend less time editing a few curves then I did deleting all of the extra HH notes. So for me, it was picking the lesser of the 2 evils.

Overall, I find the HH to be by far the weakest part of the TD-12 kit and hope future advances in technology make it a little less problematic.

I just tried changing the trigger setting to the VH-12 and messed around with some of the other settings, including the ones you provided. It *does* fix the closed pedal issue so only one note triggers, but the transition from open to closed, for me at least, is not as smooth as the VH-11 setting. Also, I get some dropped notes when hitting the hats while opening them quickly.

But I do thank you for your help. I agree, the hi hat seems to be the hardest thing to get right. Maybe I’ll try a VH-12 at some point and see how that goes.
