I have the feeling that first of all the HiHat sound you're using is 
completely different and you're setting the ear up to expect exactly 
what is there. A pattern going:

open eighth - closed eighth

with the open HiHat not sounding quite as long. If you had programmed 
a couple of quarter notes in there like in Saschas example it would 
become much more apparent because then we could hear the complete 
open HiHat sound and know when it doesn't complete it's playtime.

Your example does indeed not exhibit what Saschas example showed and 
I agree, you managed to get a workaround by setting up the pattern 
differently.

But that is not the point. Logic shouldn't dictate the way we have to 
program music. And that is the problem we're talking about.

But it doesn't sound like a "real" played HiHat pattern would sound 
whereas Saschas does sound more like that. And that is the reason why 
the EXS does in fact need improvement here.

I'm going to again write a request on the godforsaken feedback page 
that no one knows if it's actually going to be read.

let's say talking about sports. :-)
