I don't really see the physical logic in this. If I hit a real 
closed hi-hat, say with the pedal down at a medium strength so that 
it lasts for a second or so, and then I wack it again, I can't see 
how the hi-hat could continue to vibrate from the initial strike now 
that I've hit it again, in realitly it would "reset" itself due to 
the second hit. That said...any ambience in the background would 
not "reset" itself, it would bleed over.

How can a "monophonic" instrument be realistically represented by a 
sampler set to a polyphonic mode?

I find when dry hi-hats bleed overtop of each other it sounds 
unnatural and messy.

I certainly see the validity to the randomness features requested 
though.

Just my opinion, please correct me if I'm wrong :)
