I’m hoping some light can be shed on the hi hat situation as well for the Alesis Trigger IO. I have one and I am only getting open and closed- nothing inbetween. (I’m using the Roland VH-11) I will say that I’ve gotten the sensitivity pretty well ironed out on all the pads but that took more time and patience than I normally care to give. My ride cymbal is also a concern. I have a Roland CY-15 and I’m not able to get the bell seperate from the bow which is also a serious bummer. If anyone has managed around these things, I’d sure love to hear it.
