You're very welcome, its my pleasure. Just want to add that I have literally 10mm of play between 100% & 0%. I am making sure my measurements are consistent using a caliper ( 90%=9mm, 60%=6mm, 20%=2mm) to gauge distance between the hats.

with a 10k resistor
Lo Imp
AltIn - No
CC RdcLvl - 3,2,1 & 0
LevelsAuto - No
LowLevel and HiLevel are at their absolute Low and Hi levels...
RdcLvl - 3 \/
The "raw level" shows 998 in the fully open position. It is steady.
80% - 953, it is steady .
60% - 912, it is steady.
40% - 907 steady.
20% - again 907 steady.
0% (fully closed) 892 steady.
Applying pressure (practically standing on the pedal) I can reach 361, it is steady.
*Note each time I return the pedal from fully closed to fully open, the value does not return to 998, but randomly between 995 and 1004*
RdcLvl - 2 \/
The "raw level" shows 1000 in the fully open position. It is steady.
80% - 946, it is steady .
60% - 901, it is steady.
40% - 895 steady.
20% - again 893 steady.
0% (fully closed) 865 steady.

The "raw level" shows 1006 in the fully open position. It is steady.
80% - 947-964, bouncing around between these two values .

It is extremely strange, I agree. Your mock up would be consistent to the hi hats resistance range, and this is why I wanted to bring to light the pressure feature. I feel like that has something to do with some of these troubles we are having. Keep in mind too, that my fully open registers above 2000k according to my multimeter, where I assume yours tops out at 20k.

1. Set Big VU meter to Yes.
2. Set LevelsAuto to No.
3. Set LowLevel to 905.
4. Set HiLevel to 1000.
What "raw level" readings do you get between 100% and 0% with RdcLvl 0, 1, 2, 3?
RdcLvl - 0
Fully open to fully closed give values Raw Level values of 95 (fully open) to 0 (fully closed)
RdcLvl - 1
Fully open to fully closed give values Raw Level values of 95 (fully open) to 1 (fully closed)
RdcLvl - 2
Fully open to fully closed give values Raw Level values of 75-95(different on each return of the pedal fully open) to 13 (fully closed)
RdcLvl - 3
Fully open to fully closed give values Raw Level values of 73-95(different on each return of the pedal fully open) to 0-32 (different on each return of the pedal fully closed)

0 - This is showing outstanding results as of yet, gradual, very smooth from top to bottom, returning to 100% and 0% consistantly. Still jitter in between up and down, but responding 99% correctly other than that.
1 - Still quite good. Similar to above. Not returning fully top to bottom on VU, but close.
2- Starting to get blocky but not jittery, giving me 3 steps. Not returning fully top to bottom on VU.
3- Also blocky, not jittery, giving me 2 steps, not returning fully top to bottom on VU.
The above settings are the best yet at RdcLvl - 0. If we could get rid of the jittery-ness in between top and bottom, the sounds would reproduce properly. You're very close here!! Very exciting!
