Hihat stomp is weak and cannot be mixed alone

[3hhh]

The hihat stomp output was rather weak during my tests compared to the hihat hits.

This could be fixed by postprocessing it with a mixer; however edrumulus currently uses the same Midi note for a stomp as for a hit on the hihat.

Imho it would be better to use different notes, so that such volume issues can be fixed during postprocessing.
Also, stomping sounds slightly different from hitting a hihat in practice, i.e. one might want to use different samples anyway.

There is a separate MIDI not for Hi-Hat stomp action, see

edrumulus/edrumulus.ino

Line 107 in e8c524a

edrumulus.set_midi_notes ( hihatctrl_pad_idx, 44, 44 ); // Hi-Hat pedal hit

Thanks for the hint!

During my testing I had noticed 4 different notes for the hihat: Two for hits on bow and edge and another two for the open/closed bow/edge variant.
Maybe my stomps aren't detected?
I'll investigate further....

Maybe my stomps aren't detected?

Yes, they weren't detected. I managed to fix it by setting a high threshold & sensitivity for the control port.

With a lower threshold I could observe my hihat pedal movements on the screen, which was really nice and would easily enable half-open hihat Midi notes, if one wanted to support that feature.

Anyway this particular issue is invalid.
