Lower High level in the Pedal settings to around 250. Does the problem go away?

Setting it to 250 gives much less of those signals. Setting to 200 eliminates them all. But the pedal does not work good then =). Also, found other inputs with such effect - tom4 and aux4.
EDIT: Another strange effect: I have a cymbal pad on aux3 with threshold 10 and it works fine except it triggers notes randomly from time to time. So I to raised the threshold to 11 and the input of hihat pedal lowered! It was around 300-310 before threshold change, now its around 290 and gives me that pedal events. Setting threshold back restores original level.

Set "CC RdcLvl" in the Pedal settings to 3.

With default Gain 4 even 11 seems like very low Threshold which is the cause of this random triggering.

The gain set to 0 and I of course meant hi-hat pedal events.

Did you try raising "CC RdcLvl"?

Yes, the problem is still there

Can you describe the problem again more clearly so that I I didn't have to guess what you mean, e.g. like if you really see random CC messages or random triggering and etc.

Ok, I'll try.

This is what I get when I hit the pad plugged to certain inputs (crash, tom4, aux4). I just hit the pad once and got those foot controller messages I should not get on those inputs. I didn't touch hihat pedal at all. That's the main problem. They arent coming all the time, only when I hit pads on those inputs.
There was also another problem, changing threshold on some pads somehow lowered unpressed hihat pedal input signal, so it went below pedal high level and started to generate pedal events (all the time). Strangely, I cannot reproduce it now. I'll write here if I encounter it again. I thought maybe they are connected or something.

If you're using the Low impedance pedal input, try using the High impedance input. And vice verse.

That helped, thanks!
I completely forgot about High/Low HiHat impedance switch. I thought it's just another version of setting AltIn in megadrum settings.
