Hi all, wondering if anyone can provide any advice or detail on any successes that have been had on hihat chicks and splashes when using the 'Pot" setting for Hi-Hat controller rather than CC4 message handling.

I'm playing around with Native Instruments "Studio Drummer" which to me has the best samples and is a little better sound wise than Superior Drummer.
The only problem with the Native Instruments Studio Drummer is that it handles CC4 messages poorly for Hi-Hat articulations and I've found the best performance can be achieved by setting the controller to a "Pot" type in Megadrum and assigning the appropriate articluations manually.

I'm wondering how Megadrum handles Chicks and Splashes when in "Pot" mode as I only seem to get Chicks, can't get any splashes despite setting the appropriate splash note number.

Superior Drummer sorts these things out itself via CC4 messages and I have no complaints whatsoever with its performance with Megadrum, it triggers like a dream.

But, to overcome the shortcomings of the Native Instruments Studio Drummer, I'm finding I need to use a "Pot" type controller and am trying to understand how Megadrum determines to send a "Splash" note?

I don't see any settings related to Splash other than setting the note number.

Also, do the "Alt Algo" settings for the hi-hat apply for a "Pot" type controller or just a 'Foot Controller" setting for CC4 messages?

I'm wondering if careful configuration of the "Chicks" will then lead to better recognition of 'splashes"?

Any info would be great.

Cheers,
Toby

Apologies, I should have said "New Algrthm" instead of "Alt".

Wondering if this and the corresponding settings such as MinVlcty, MaxVlcty, ChckDead, ChkCrv also apply for "Pot" type hihat controllers?

Cheers,
Toby
