Hihat closed by default and new gesture for roll
Posted: Mon Mar 06, 2017 1:45 pm
Hello, Richard and Yan.
I am sorry for this question, maybe you have already answered it, but I could not find it on the forum.
I am playing Aerodrums standing only with drum sticks, so I do not put on foot markers. I am pretty fine with this setup but few things makes me upset: it is hihat and drum rolls.
I know that with pedal markers on the foot I can close hihat down, but when I start playing only with sticks hihat becomes always opened. Can this behavior be changed so that hihat was always closed until I open open it with foot marker? Because I use mostly only 2 positions for hat (closed and fully opened), I would try to configure for myself the closed hihat by default and small circlre on its corner (like one on the ride) for open position.
Also I miss the ability to make fast rolls on a snare drum. I know that you've posted about rebound technique but this is not a fast drum roll anyway. I suggest to implement a gesture in your program for a drum roll on a snare. The user could control the moment when the roll begins, the moment when the roll ends and the immediate volume of next beat in a roll. The gesture that starts the roll could be hit of a snare simultaneous by both hands. Now to stop the roll the user should distance markers from each other in both directions or in any one direction (you can indicate on a drum screen that roll began by drawing a circle; when the user leaves the circle the drum stops and circle disappears). If you drag stick up the volume of next beats in a roll have increased volume).
Do you think is it possible to implement? I would be happy to help you with implementing these changes and would be happy to apply as a tester.
