The underlying tech here is quite basic. It's a dumb sample player, it does not stop an open HH hit when you trigger a closed hit or pedal. I'm sorry to disappoint you. and, no: A cross-fade or ADSR linked to a MIDI-CC does not cut it; at least not with the fixed small sample-set. The goal here is to cover 90% of the common cases and make it easy. We had this discussion on and found that the bottleneck is actually sequencing itself: Knowing what a real drummer would play and not construct conflicting hits involving 4 hands and 3 feet. Adding more elaborate kit controls don't help on that matter. Personally I think if you want nuances on HIHat and Snare there's no way around recording a real drum-kit. MIDI just doesn't cut it, even with commercial tools such as AD2 or EZdrummer. For kick, toms and overhead, MIDI can be fine. Even in some cases better: Properly mic'ing a bass-drum is hard! Anyway, avldrums is just a little brother of drumgizmo, trading complexity for convenience and keeping DG on his toes :) ciao, robin
