Hi-hat issue with Scripter Drum Kit Designer Remapper

I'm using Scripter in Logic Pro X (version 10.6.2) to map my Alesis MIDI Drum Kit with Drum Kit Designer Remappoer. But every time I switch Scripter from "Factory Default" to "Drum Kit Designer Remapper," it changes the Hi-Hat Open sound to a Hi-Hat Closed sound. The change is most definitely in the software, whether I hit the open hi-hat on the MIDI kit, I hit the "Hi-Hat Open" key (A#1) on my MIDI keyboard, or even when I click the "Hi-Hat Open" key in the Editor View. Each one makes what clearly sounds like Hi-Hat Closed when I'm clicking Hi-Hat Open.

I saw a similar thread (Hi-hat issue with Scripter Drum Kit Designer Remapper) where the Original Poster eventually figured out a piece of Remapper code was sending the wrong articulation to the MIDI kit for Open Hi-Hat. Can anyone help me execute this change? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to change the Hi-Hat code to exactly. OP describes a similar change for Crash Stop and provides code, but I don't have enough coding experience to properly utilize that to translate to my Hi-Hat issue.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank You!

SOLVED: So the issue ended up being in the Scripter/Remapper code, as suspected. It identifies variables for the Hi-Hat control, as shown below:

var INVERT_HIHAT_MOD = true; //if HiHat controller should be inverted

var HIHAT_CONTROLLER = 1; //current controller number

var CURRENT_HIHAT_ARTICULATION = 0; //current articulation ID for Closed Hi-Hat

var NOTES = MIDI._noteNames; //array of MIDI note names for menu items

However, the default value for Hi-Hat articulation should be 0 (AKA "Hi-Hat Open," as the hi-hat clutch should default to OFF when not activated by the user).

Therefore, the code SHOULD be:

var INVERT_HIHAT_MOD = true; //if HiHat controller should be inverted

var HIHAT_CONTROLLER = 1; //current controller number

var CURRENT_HIHAT_ARTICULATION = 0; //current articulation ID for Open Hi-Hat

var NOTES = MIDI._noteNames; //array of MIDI note names for menu items
