Mapping an electronic drumset - hihat

2005-09-18 by Peter Ostry

I recently got a Yamaha DTXplorer drumset and start mapping it to  
some drum samples I have.

HiHat, hit open -> close pedal

I know this:
Hitting the open hihat sends note A#1.
Stepping on the pedal sends CC4 56, then CC4 127 and then note G#1.

How do I cut the "open hihat" sound if I step on the pedal?

Hihat, half closed

The DTXplorer can play a "half closed" hihat if the pedal is at a  
value within 0-22. But I do not see a triggered note for that, just  
the same note as for open hihat and the control change. It seems to  
be an internal feature of the device. Should be possible to handle  
that in the environment but I cannot do anything about that in EXS,  
right?

Hihat, splash

The DTXplorer can play a "splash" sound if the pedal gets pressed and  
released in a certain way. Here is what I see in the MIDI stream:
Note G#1, velocity 110 (pedal down sound).
CC4, 127 (pedal fully down).
Note C#5, velocity 110 (splash sound).
CC4, 62 (pedal moving up).
CC4, 0 (pedal released).
Note G#1, OFF.
Note C#5, OFF.

That looks like if the device reacts to some sort of timing or a  
certain sequence of messages and that is not available via MIDI in  
Logic, right?
