V-drums and the hi-hat pedal

>> I've done the drum mapping and mostly have the instruments like I want them, but the hi-hat functionality is funky.
 
Yes. I think this is because of the way Addictive Drums has implemented hi-hat control - it's different from the "Roland standard".
 
I also have a Roland FP-8 (?) hihat pedal, and I gave up trying to capture a hihat performance when driving AD.
 
That said, I love AD and I'm not really proficient at a drum kit style controller, so I'm content. Other E-Drum players should probably give you better advice about how to integrate with AD or what alternative works better.

I got that sound with AD2 and adjusting the "Foot Splash Sensitivity" at Mapping/CC Hihat.
This is when your foot hits the pedal full on to get the cymbals to hit together for that open sound.  
It works great on my TD-6 Mapping. 
Just play with the sensitivity tool in this area. 

Rimshot please explain more. For precisely the reason of the OP I've given up using AD2. I can get everything to work with AD2 to capture our Roland TD12 live performance tracking except the hihat foot pedal. I thought I had tried absolutely everything.

I've played with the sensitivity adjustments for the hihat pedal plenty in AD2 with absolutely no luck. Where are you referring to?

I should add that AD2 does not even capture the timing of the hihat. All of the other drum softsynths and drum modules capture the hihat performance perfectly, just not AD2. So I'm very interested.

lawajava,
 
I do have a work-around in mind, but haven't tried it yet. Record the midi for all pads of your TD except the hi-hat, then send the TD hi-hat only to the audio outputs of your TD (I'm thinking outputs #3 or 4, but I'm not sure if your model has the 3 and 4 outputs for unprocessed sends).
 

You can do it with AD.  Make sure you are sending c.c. 04 and make sure you are using a variable HH in AD.  In the maps window there is section for setting up your HH.

Already tried that with no improvement for our Roland TD-12 hi hat. I'm very open to suggestions. Would love to make it work. Timing for hi hat pedal is way off, even though for other softsynth drums it's right on. I'm frustrated but willing to keep going after a solution if there's something that breaks the roadblock issue. The kits sound awesome, just not the hi hat live performance recording timing.

I don't know about the TD-12 but I'm using a Roland HH pedal through an old SPD20 and it's working fine.

Hi all. Would love to set up my Roland TDK 11kv pads to trigger corresponding AD2 kit pieces in Sonar Professional via MIDI.
 
In searching the boards, I've learned the answer to my first question here, that being "Can the Roland pads be mapped to trigger AD2 sounds?" I see from the discussion that the answer is apparently yes, though there seems to be a hihat issue. To get started, can someone point me to a resource that explains how to map the roland to AD2. 
 
Thanks!

Doh! Disregard my post. I see that AD2 has built in map for Roland kits. Awesome!

That mapping never worked for my hi hat foot pedal. I switched to BFD3 and everything worked like a charm from the first attempt.

I'm now waiting for the next version of Addictive Drums with the hope they add some improvements in.

I have a Roland TD30.  In my experience, the built-in map in Addictive Drums for Roland V-Drums is not quite correct, but mostly so.
 
I had to tweak the map to match the V-Drums.  Using this map, AD uses MIDI CC #4 as the HiHat control signal which is what is transmitted by the V-Drums; this information is used by AD to determine how open the hats are and thus what samples to play to represent the HiHats being that open/closed.
 
I'll try to find out what tweaks I needed to make from the default V-Drum map in AD and if successful I'll update this thread.
 
[edit] Just saw the note about latency, I am experiencing something similar; I get less latency monitoring the audio from the V-Drums (i.e. through the DAW!) compared to sending MIDI from the V-Drums and using that to control AD.  Which is plain daft.  I did have an idea to turn local OFF inside the V-Drums to see if that made any difference to the latency but haven't yet tried that.
