I don't know... Its a Pearl, the one that comes with the E-pro set
Check with Pearl if it is variable or not.
2. Does it use Roland (standard) or Yamaha polarity?
No idea...
Check with Pearl if it uses Roland or Yamaha polarity.
3. Did you set AltIn setting to match the position of the the HiHat pedal impedance switch on the front? The default is AltIn No with the switch in Up position.
I dont know how to do this...
Look at the AltIn setting and look at the position of the switch.
4. Did you configure Low and High level in Pedal settings?
No I did not, again, not sure how
You first need to sort the points above and then as per http://www.megadrum.info/content/hihat-pedal-settings:
Set the low level of the pedal, when pedal is fully pressed. If set too low you may not be able to get fully closed HiHat pedal.
Set the high level of the pedal, when pedal is fully depressed. If set too high you may not be able to get fully open HiHat pedal.
You should adjust both low and high level so that the values were as far apart as possible and yet the pedal reaches extreme positions. Use VU Meter (not very accurate), Big VU Meter (more accurate) or CC messages (with MDM Raw MIDI Log). When using CC messages and MDM Raw MIDI Log as a guidance you need to achieve such a configuration that CC messages are not sent by MegaDrum in extreme pedal positions.
5. Does the HiHat pedal VU meter on the LCD follow the pedal positions?
I dont know, hi hat cymbal makes noise, and shows MIDI but pedal does nothing to control the hi hat functions that should be present
Does the HiHat pedal VU-meter goes up and down when you release and press the pedal?
6. What do you mean by 'sound between HH cymbal and controller pedal'?
What I mean is... The controller should be interacting with the cymbal, ie, open/close, and other HH articulations. It does nothing... Cymbal works, controller does nothing
If you use CC04 for pedal positions then it is up to the soft synth to do the 'interaction'. If you don't use CC04 then you have to set desired notes for various pedal positions in the HiHat pedal Notes settings. Of course you have to configure the pedal first as suggested above.
