SD3 Hihat “Skip Tigh and Close” ? too “tight” and too “open”..

[unodos]

how do you skip Tight and Close I’m on a Alesis DM10.
The Hihat “Tight” and “Close” of the new Library sound Extremely “Tight” and “extremely “Open..”
so I never use my hihat that Close.. cannot find a way to skip 2 articulations.. on Hihat “edge”..

and open 0 is “extremely” open already.. mm… I guess,, I will have to use the hihat of other SDX libraries..
you Should Rethink how you SD3 theme interpret the Ranks.. of the “hihat” .. open 0, 1, 2, it is allready too open..
and tight, and close, are Extremely tight and close.. and “Tigh” and “Close” has a noise of the Stick and in “open 0”
it is gone, so on edge Tight and Close sound like “Tip” type of playing with the hi hat.

all the rest of the library sounds great except for the Hihats, as always, =( .. other companies like “Atelier Robin Natural Drum Kit”
record almost 14 Layers of openness on the Hihats. so you really have a lot of “Personall” options to satisfy almost any Real Drummer.

I think that for your Nexts… libraries you should consider a Better “rank” “openess” of the hihats.. all Toontrack Libraries tent
to sound.. too Open almost on the First “Open option” “open 0” or “open 1” so.. you Jump alot there. and leave no room for the more
contemporary Drummers.

don’t get me wrong.. it is just a “Feedback” from a User that really uses a lot the Hihat in 16th.

Have you tried adjusting the openness in the hihat CC curve controller in MIDI In/E-drum Settings?

yeap.. I have done that allready, but I cannot skip those 2.. and start with ..open0 to open 2.. only.. those 2… sound good too me..
mm.. maybe I could use the hihats from othe SDX library, I think that the best I have found on Toontrack.. that are not.. super tight or super open.. for “jazz” almost sort of.. are from a old Library.. SD1.. but I cannot add that Library to SD3.. in superior drummer 2.. you can add it..
not in sd3.. wonder why . ? .. it has better hihats “layers”.. and a lot. not the custom and vintage sdx.. but other Part of that first library of SD1 that has never been re-released… maybe I will.. sample my own.. samples jeje.. tomorrow.

i can’t get no satisfaction with the SD3 recorded hihats “layers”

the rest snare tombs kicks and cymbals are amazing

You could try to turn off all of the articulations that you don’t like to use from the Articulations Menu in the Drums Tab. Make sure that both edge, tip, bell etc. are turned off. Now other articulations will be triggered as substitutes for those that you don’t want to use. If you turn off all Tight and Closed articulations for example, these will be replaced with open 0. Then go to the Hi-Hat & Snare CC tab in E-Drum settings and click the Hi-Hat Pedal Control button. Now use the sliders to adjust the response.

Maybe you could adjust the adsr-curve for the articulations that sound too open to make them sound a bit less open? The adsr-curve is found in the Envelope and Offset property box in the Drums tab.
