Brian,

You can edit the preset triggers but you cannot save to setups 1-7
(see P11 of the reference manual "Data cannot be stored to preset
Trigger Setup (No. 1-7)").

After editing, if you want to keep the changes you need to select
numbers 8-11.  

From your comments I think you are confusing the trigger setup [1-11],
which is a set of the setups for all inputs, with the individual
trigger inputs [1-10].  Yes, input 8 is your hi-hat, but trigger setup
1, for example, is a complete setup of all inputs, from 1 to 10. 
Copying that to trigger setup 8 is nothing to do with the hi-hat. 
There are 7 preset setups and each one contains the configuration for
every trigger input.

I am not sure if I have explained that properly - post again if it
still doesn't make sense.

Keith.
