Title: Hig-hats linked to each other
Post by: Roger72 on July 05, 2011, 04:08:05 pm

Hello there,

I'm new here and just bought the Spark last week. Everything is almost under control, but there is 1 thing I can't figure out.
Some drum-kits have the high-hats linked up to each other so they stop playing when you hit the other highhat.

So how can you link or unlink the highhats?

Thanks!

Press the MUTE button (near Solo and Select) to engage the mute mode of the pads, then tap the pads you want to mute... Temporarily, while in mute mode.

Thanks, but that's not exactly what I mean I'm afraid.
Maybe it's my bad explanation...

What I mean is if both your close and open highats are playing they sometimes cut each other of (like real drums). And in other kits they overlap each other.

I think the expression he means to use is "choke"

So how is "Choking" implemented with Spark?     :)

I think it's a legitimate question!
A valid question where you can answers normally.

For the moment, each pair of HH (closed-open) are linked.
It means that :
 - first CH and first OH are linked
 - second CH and second OH are linked
...

When I say linked, I mean that when one is playing the other is muted.
We are thinking to implement in a more powerful way but it will be probably not in the next update.
The next update will be focused on hardware and DAW features...

It would be good if we could choose whether the two Hihats are working together or not!
Can not be hard to install that...
Are there other Instruments are linked? Felt so ...
