Hi-hat issue with Scripter Drum Kit Designer Remapper

Hi,

I am using Scripter (Drum Kit Designer Remapper preset) to properly map my Alesis electronic drum kit to Logic's Drum kits. Scripter solves most of my problems, but also creates one: the Hi-Hat Open Edge sample is playing as Hi-Hat Closed Tip, even though the MIDI note from my Alesis drum comes in as the A#1 standard for open hi-hat. I can reassign A#1 to something else (say, Hi-Hat Foot Splash) and it will play as expected. If Scripter is bypassed, my hi-hat open and closed samples behaves normally.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I do have background in programming and I am comfortable editing the JS script if necessary. Or is there another way of doing drum remapping in Logic? (I also have issues with the Crash Stop signals, which I can't map).

Thanks

Fixed. Turns out the code of the Remapper preset was sending the wrong articulation for Open Hi-Hat Edge.

As for the crash stop signals, after a bit of tracing, I figured out that my Alesis drum controller sends a PolyPressure signal for the crash stop signals, so I put some code to change that to the notes that Drum Kit Designer is actually expecting.

function HandleMIDI(event) {

//event.trace();

//handle crash left stop

if(event instanceof PolyPressure && event.pitch == 49) {

var on = new NoteOn; //make a new control change message

on.channel = 10;

on.pitch = 28;

on.velocity = 1; //set the value

on.send(); //send the event

on.trace(); //print the event to the console

var nf = new NoteOff(on);

nf.sendAfterMilliseconds(5); //send the event

//nf.trace(); //print the event to the console

}

//handle crash right stop

else if(event instanceof PolyPressure && event.pitch == 51) {

var on = new NoteOn;

on.channel = 10;

on.pitch = 29;

on.velocity = 1; //set the value

on.send(); //send the event

on.trace(); //print the event to the console

var nf = new NoteOff(on);

nf.sendAfterMilliseconds(5); //send the event

//nf.trace(); //print the event to the console

} else {

event.send();

}
