RE: Hi Hat Programming
hope the link is right.. it's trance, but i like their hihat sensibilities..
always pretty happy with mine. my considerations are that (a)the pattern should tell a little story, have a lyric phrasing, like some titchy bird rattling off some ssqueak that sounds like somebody saying something..
"hello john got a new motor" whatever.
then the line would be
"hello john got a new motor
hello john got a new motor
it looks like a shiny new motor
hello john got a new motor
pretty much always do some velocity to amp.. hardly ever works without it.. the closeds a little louder, or the opens.. the 2nd and 4th open louder or quieter, the 4th with a shorter envelope to pick up into the next measure, et c.
usually get away with pretty straight quantization, but all sorts of fun. the #1 trick would be to pull them just the most minute bit forward.
