Ah, you got me there; I've never tried Battery. Pretty unusual, though.

Are you saying that other drum software doesn't work this way?  If that's the case then I'm glad that I chose Battery.

 
Most of other drum VSTs or drum patches in synths don't work that way. Are you sure even acoustic drum kits work that way in Battery? If that's the case then I'm glad I didn't choose Battery. Can't a keyboard controller's bender lever (modulation) control the articulation of the hihat (from closed to open, and vice versa) in Battery? All drum kits in NI's "Drummer" libraries and even one of drum patches in Kontakt allow it.

Yes, note-off works for acoustic kit hi-hats in Battery. Like I said earlier, there may be other ways of closing a hi-hat, but I've never bothered to explore them, so I am not the best person to answer your question about using a controller lever.

Apologies to the OP for taking this thread off on a tangent.

No apology necessary Kev, most of the posts here are OT for the initial post but this is all very interesting and informative for me.
I just bought a choir library yesterday (Requiem Light) and I think Jlien's post #9 is going to help me get it (along with other plugins) organized and much easier to navigate...once the new wears off my new toy I've just gotta spend time learning how to get them set up like that!
