I've been trying to get my megadrum module working with my Alesis Strike. Everything except the hihat works well. I traced the problem to the hihat down to how the Megadrum treats the Chick Note Off message. On the Alesis, a splash looks very similar to how it looks on a megadrum - a Chick note followed by a Splash note of equal velocity within ~30-50msecs - my midiox timestamps were varying pretty wildly.
Where the Megadrum differs is it IMMEDIATELY sends Note Off for the Chick note whereas the Strike sends the same Note Off message in series with the Splash Note Off.
It feels like having differing algorithms for Hihat chick/splash treatment might be a solution to the ongoing problem of one-size-fits-all solution to support all of them?
MIDI-OX log from MD - splash doesn't play on Alesis Strike module v1.5 - note how the Chick (note 22) Note On message is immediately followed by a Note Off. That's followed by Splash (note 31) Note on and Off.

MIDI-OX log from Alesis Strike - splash plays on Alesis Strike module v1.5. We see Note 22 Note on followed by Note 31 Note On THEN the successive Note Off messages for each.
