Here's a decent hi-hat sound...

2004-01-21 by adamh52683

Maybe one way to improve on the sounds provided by the dtxpress 
module is for us, the dtxpress users, to collaborate a little on how 
we create/customize some of them?  So, just to throw it out there, 
here's what I believe to be one of the better hi hat sounds I've 
heard.  My initial goal was to replicate 13" hats.  If this helps 
someone else to get the ball rolling and come up with something 
better, great!  

KIT IN=open   V=1
=H/055 Open L3
Vol=68 Pan=L13
Tune C=+3 F=-10
Decay=-4 Fc=0

KIT IN=footClV   V=1
=H/029 NB Pedal
Vol=60 Pan=L13
Tune C=+3 F=-10
Decay=0 Fc=0

KIT IN=close   V=1                             V=2
=H/027 NB Close                 =H/047 32Close
Vol=65 Pan=L13                  Vol=50 Pan=C
Tune=+3 F=-10                   Tune C=+3 F=-4
Decay=+12 Fc=-1                 Decay=+30 Fc=-4
X Fade=2                        X Fade=2

(Anything not mentioned = default setting)

This is the first setting I've had where I'm comfortable with the 
sound I hear while riding on an open hi-hat.

Some of you here seem to be VERY familiar with the module and its 
capabilities.  I'm wondering if you don't share your custom sound 
settings or kits because giving them out would be like losing a 
trade secret ;-)  Makes me wonder what a dtxpressII is really 
capable of if I was only as knowledgeable as some of you other guys!
