Hi-hat pedal for silent kick trigger supported?

For making a very quiet kit, I'd like to use a hi-hat controller for triggering the bass drum.
Something like using a Yamaha RHH135 with the new DTX700 module.

Does Megadrum support this? If so, what HH pedal would be recommended?

Thank you
Andrej

Set the pedal's Chick note to the Kick's note and there you go. Or am I missing something?

Maybe. Looking at the pre-built megadrum module, only one input has the label HH. And looking at the schematics,
the [Pads Connector Pinout]#1 (HH Pedal Ring) is connected to VCC over a resistor. But, only
that pin is. So I assumed I might only be able to connect one HH pedal.

I could change the pads connector pinout, and add two more pins to VCC over a resistor. But will the frameware
support this?

Basically, I want to use up to three HH pedals. One for HH, and two for Kick. (I live in an apartment, that's why I want
to avoid Kick drums pedals).

Thx
Andrej

At the moment only one HiHat pedal is supported. It may change in the future.

Thanks Dmitri for your fast response. That's what I feared.

I'm a beginner, not even sure if I need to do this.

Thank you

I think the perfect solution for these kind of requests is krigg - kick pedal trigger.
