Hi-hat triggering C-1

Hello,
first of all: Im completely new to electronic drums and everything around it so please don`t burry me for "obvious" things, that i may not see.

I just finished building a complete Setup out of an old shell set. Got everything to work besides the hi-hat.

What I`m using:
-Liquid Tango Hihat (http://www.ebay.de/itm/E-Drum-Hihat-Stereo-E-Drum-Cymbal-elektronische-Hihat-Liquid-Tango-HH-fur-Stativ-/112174565959?hash=item1a1e200a47:g:-JIAAOSw-kdXz~f3 )
- MegaDrum 56 Input-Version

The Problem:
When i set the midi note of the hi hat to e.g. F-1 , the midi-log shows C-1 when hitting the hi hat. If the hi-hat is deactivated, nothing happens. In fact, a hi-hat hit will always trigger C-1.
Pictures of midi log when hitting the hi-hat: http://imgur.com/a/G9YZg

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Most likely you've set all Notes in HiHat pedal settings incorrectly.
Btw, you can attach images/screenshots right here in the forum without making links to external sites.

Oh yeah right - sorry about the images.

I`ve set not a single note in the hi-hat pedal settings. Are the hi-hat pedal settings somewhat connected with the hi-hat itself? I mean, shouldn`t the hi-hat "pad" work even without a pedal?
If the pedal and hi-hat need to be setup together, maybe that`s my error...

You have the high hat edge note set to 0

The HiHat Pedal notes and HiHat notes are indeed connected. If MegaDrum detects that the pedal is not fully open, it takes notes for HiHat hits from the pedal notes for various positions. If you don't have the pedal connected but HiHat levels are not correctly set then MegaDrum may think that pedal is not fully open.
