Megadrum hi-hat settings with BFD2?

[dmitri]

Did you try it with high impedance pedla input and AltIn set to Yes?

[Ken Forgettable]

Should a continuous controller send the same values repeatedly?
Or does the spec' allow for just changes at variable times?

Tried that too, yes.

Anyway, I now have a Yamaha PCY-135 as my hi-hat and I've almost found the right settings. However, I still have a few questions:

1) Regarding CC messages: it is instructed to set up Megadrum so that no CC messages are sent when the pedal is either open or fully pressed. However, when set up like that, a chick with full force (to CC 127) results in the sound being choked/cut-off unnaturally. If I chick very softly (so that it never reaches 127) it comes with a natural echo. Does this mean I should change the maximum closed CC value to only ~120 or is there some setting in Megadrum to handle the sound being cut off? Even after lowering the closed CC max value some of the hi-hat sounds still sound cut off - note off messages are somehow not right? E: I think I solved this, the hi-hat pad threshold was too low which caused unwanted triggering in the cymbal when doing chicks.

2) I think this (maybe) has to do with short & long chick threshold settings (the function/difference of which I don't quite understand to begin with, even after reading the documentation): when pressing down the pedal slowly, about half-way there is a chick sound. Why is that and can it be disabled? The problem is that this seems to screw up BFD2's variable control because BFD2 assumes the pedal is chicked when in fact it's only half-way. E: I got around this problem by disabling pedal/chick notes in Megadrum and using BFD2's auto chick/splash.

3) Should Auto Splash Event be enabled or disabled in BFD2? In Megadrum, I have chick and splash mapped to the same note that produces the pedal sound in BFD2.
