Re: Hi hat help

Unfortunately, it sounds like you'd need to investigate deeper to get to the bottom of this.
GarageBand will trigger sounds corresponding to the MIDI notes it receives. You can use a free online MIDI monitor such as https://www.midimonitor.com/ to see what MIDI notes Aerodrums is sending when you hit the hi-hat. For the correct behaviour these notes need to match what GarageBand expects. If it's not the case then the MIDI map needs to be modified in Aerodrums to send the correct notes.
In our GarageBand preset, the hi-hat will send A#1 for normal hits and F#1 for accented hits. I'm not very familiar with GarageBand but if you can confirm that these MIDI notes will trigger the expected sounds, then that would be a start. If it doesn't you could try playing around with the MIDI mapping in Aerodrums.
I would try the following:
In the MIDI screen, untick the 'Open or closed only' option.
Then select the GarageBand preset and press the 'Clone' button followed by the 'Edit' button. Then you can select 'Hi-hat' from the Element list and change both the 'Note:' and 'Accent:' values to G#1 and the foot value to A0. If that's not working you could also try changing the 'CC:' value from 'Foot pedal' to 'Mod wheel'.
Let me know if you're still stuck and I'll try to dig into it myself.
