Hi there, I've embarked on building a high quality sampled drum kit soundfont in SF2 format, and the only thing I have to figure out is how to emulate hihat - I have 5 sets of hihat samples; each set represents how far open the pedal is - I'm considering assigning a different MIDI note to each set, ...

The problem is that MIDI Expression currently doesn't support the foot chick articulation and splash articulations. You could just use MIDI Expression to track your CC4, but then you'd have to rely on BFD 's 'auto pedal' events to get your chick back. P.S. Have you tried the Alesis forums? BFD2 han...

Some questions: How have you wired up your sensor to the TRS cable? If you connect your optical pedal to Trigger I/O without calibrating, what is the value range of CC4? Am I correct in assuming that the note being generated when the pedal passes half is not the 'foot chick' note? Regards, Rob I ha...

I'll break it down for you again. I had the Trigger I|O closed hat note set to an unused note, so when the hat was played in the closed position no note was sounding, so I had to change the note back again to the same as for open and for foot chik (since they're all contained in the same articulati...

While I'd love to say that MIDI Expression would solve all your problems, I think you should be able to get the trigger i/o doing the job for you. 1. Setup the open / close / foot chick values to match BFD 2. In BFD find the setting called 'all hit variable' and check it. That'll improve things dra...

Also, I would love to see some pics / schematic of your pedal design. I might be interested in making my own. Sure thing. I have a PDF file saved from a drawing I did in AutoCAD, showing the basic design and details, although I cannot see anywhere to attach a PDF or image file to this forum post. D...

Hi there, I'm 99% finished building my electronic drumkit (A2E conversion), and have had trouble getting variable hi hat working. I'm using an Alesis Trigger I|O for trigger input, but the Alesis is not well suited to variable hi hats such as used by BFD2 - the Trigger I|O hi hat configuration requi...
