Thanks, I will compare the two note configurations to determine which one works better.

My controller (Alesis ControlPad) only supports on/off HiHat control when using its HiHat Pedal Imput.  Thus, this solution does not provide support for continuous HiHat controller pedals.  However, for a hobbyist non-drummer just looking to play his own drum tracks into Cubase, and with no need for the complexity of Superior Drummer nor a fully articulated HiHat performance (I’m not that good – just a keyboard player who also plays drums), this solution works great!
 
I thought that others would know from my hardware configuration that I was not looking for advanced variable control of the HiHat.  Sorry for any confusion.
 
Now that this is working, I’m going to get a bunch of EZXs!

Scott:

I fixed this on my own in about five minutes, purchasing neither Superior Drummer nor EDrum Monitor/eTrigger.

Thus, for all you Cubase users, here is how you can get open and closed HiHats in Cubase using only the EZDrummer VSTi and Cubase itself:

1. Set your HiHat to note 60 in your trigger interface or pad controller.
2. Fire up Cubase.
3. Insert EZDrummer as a Instrument Track.
4. In the Track Explorer pane, click on MIDI Filters.
5. Insert the MIDI Filter called Transformer.
6. Insert the following in the Transformer window:

FILTER/CONDITION/PARAM1/PARAM2
Type is/Equal/Note/ and
Value 1/Equal/60/ and
Last event/Equal/Midi status/176 and
Last event/Equal/Value 1/4 and
Last event/Bigger/Value 2/64
ACTION TGT/OPERATION/PARAM1/PARAM2
Value 1/Add/1
7. Save the Transformer file for future use. I called mine EZDRummer Hihats.
8. Play your new HiHats that actually work!
I altered an Input Transformer configuration that I found on the Addictive Drums forum. All you have to do is change the open HiHat note number (here, 60), and the offset (here, Add 1).
Hopefully this will help others.
