No problem at all..Happy to Help..
If you were using Windows or Mac there are more options and more Software Solutions
Melodics and the BFD Player are not compatible with Android...
EDIT:
I should mention The Realhat pedal using a linear softpot.The pedal itself has changed aesthetically over the years but the principle is still the same.
It uses a rubber activator which basically rolls down a pressure strip and requires constant pressure.The part that makes contact with the rubber actuator may be different depending on what year the pedal was issued.
The 5 Min Fix helps reduce the pedal gap/travel as nothing will happen until pressure is applied.
It takes some getting used to and a little finesse.

I just had a look at the hi-hat pedal. Underneath it states "DMhat Pedal. Open/Closed"
I don't know f that contradicts the faq I posted above and copy/paste here:
"Is the Hi-Hat pedal a continuous or a switch-type pedal?
The Hi-Hat pedal included with the Nitro Max Kit is a continuous variable type pedal. This pedal allows for open, half-open, and closed hi-hat sounds, and will also allow for "chick" and "splash" sounds when the pedal is pressed down and released without striking the hi-hat cymbal pad."

That would be the problem...the DMHat is a "Switch Type Pedal"..On/Off..Open/Closed...Not Continuous/Variable
If you look inside the small opening there is a little Tab..which is a switch that gets flipped up and down.
It is also used for Kits that have "Switch" Input for the Kick drum.
The image on the product page also shows a DMHat V2...so either the product description is incorrect..and it only uses an open closed pedal (which matches the Samples list)...or it may be able to use a Variable Pedal ..but only comes with the DM Hat..
I would check with Alesis Support and confirm one way or the other
DaveE:
Thanks Chaser.
I tried Alesis (well InMusic) chat support but they must have been busy. I emailed Caleb at Sweetwater so we'll see. Glad I joined here :)
The pedal I have does look like the one in the pic - so as you say may be the wrong one or mislabeled.

The Kit is New..but it's a 3rd Generation of the Nitro..
There have been a number changes along the way including the HH Pedal.
The earlier models had a 1/4" jack..some of the later the Foot board changed (Round Silver) and the jack became an 1/8" (3.5mm) one and the pedal was advertised as variable with open.. 1/2 open.. closed..but also would not work with other Alesis Models.
The "Surge" Kit used the same module as the Nitro but had upgraded Hardware..Rack and triggers....
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a....a Surge "Max"..released.
