Hi John, thanks for reply and I really appreciate the explanation but actually this wasn’t what I was looking for! 🙂
 
I had read of course the explanation for programming the hi-hat articulations.  In thinking I wanted this again I’m surprised you didn’t give me a good flaming!
 
What I would like to know is how the Superior 2 software interprets the hi-hat notes and controller4 messages. 
 
When we type in all the notes of the hi-hat under the hatsctrl articulation we don’t give any indication of which of these notes are hi-hat open and which are hi-hat slightly closed.  Of coursen it could be the CC4 messages which modify the note messages but how does Superior know this?
