I'm very interested in your settings. I had posted mine some time ago, I thought I'd found the best response with spline curves on both the hat and pedal curves. Anyhow, I had a look and it turns out I had stereo on both top hat and pedal connector (I feel like that's what was in the Pro X package but not absolutely sure.. yet I would have/should have had TS on the original pedal and/or hat, right?).
So I switched out the top hat with a TS cable. It does seem like I've got better response, but i did end up finding better response with Exp2 curves this time, and I also raised the top hat a couple inches, and set my calibration to 80/20 I think (sorry, I farted around with variations so kind of forget what i stuck with in the end but think it was 70 or 80 open and 20 or 30 closed).
I did get pretty sweet chicking, nice barking response, various open positions, tight closed position, I can splash it over and over predictably. I do get a bit of inconsistency in the chicking when I'm doing it alone, testing it out but I think that's partly my pedal (heavy spring) and also I'm pretty out of practice with my hi-hat foot timing wise.. I can get it sounding nice and consistent if I'm playing on the ride and it sounds beautiful and a nice solid chick.. the odd thing is if I tap softly with my foot (bending at the ankle, heel down) I get a certain solid chick sound.. if I stomp down with the ball of my foot, especially as I speed up, it's a lighter chick sound that almost has a slower lead in sound to the chick, a longer build up to the chick kind of thing.
In any case I'm sure half of it is that I still need to get used to the sound and feel and how to position my foot or how to come down on the pedal.. I haven't played much acoustic drum in the last 25 years so my first 2 years back was getting used to the realhat pedal, now I'm re-learning the sensitivity of a hi-hat stand/pedal plus i'm in my 50's now and I get some numbness and tingling in my hands and feet so it messes with my ability to keep time or feel the pedals and sticks sometimes.. but it's still so much fun and joy to re-experience it all.
Thanks for the tips, man, that's great info and i'm even more satisfied with the Pro X now.. I still have to test it with my Addicitve Drums
