The underlying tech here is quite basic. It's a dumb sample player, it
does not stop an open HH hit when you trigger a closed hit or pedal. I'm
sorry to disappoint you.
and, no: A cross-fade or ADSR linked to a MIDI-CC does not cut it; at
least not with the fixed small sample-set.
The goal here is to cover 90% of the common cases and make it easy.
We had this discussion on and found that the bottleneck is actually
sequencing itself: Knowing what a real drummer would play and not
construct conflicting hits involving 4 hands and 3 feet. Adding more
elaborate kit controls don't help on that matter.
Personally I think if you want nuances on HIHat and Snare there's no way
around recording a real drum-kit. MIDI just doesn't cut it, even with
commercial tools such as AD2 or EZdrummer.
For kick, toms and overhead, MIDI can be fine. Even in some cases
better: Properly mic'ing a bass-drum is hard!
Anyway, avldrums is just a little brother of drumgizmo, trading
complexity for convenience and keeping DG on his toes :)

Hi,
Just passing along this screencast of the new AVL Drumkits LV2 plugin
in Ardour 5.5 created by Robin Gareus:

This is huge news and the beginning of something very needed in the Linux
community, I will check it out tomorrow!
However, I have some toughs about it when looking at the key map:
You should really have dimensions (or zones as many also calls it) that can be
used on any wanted item, for example the the HH. That means the same note for
hitting the edge of the HH and use a controller, such as modulation wheel,
expression pedal or the HH pedal in a MIDI drumset for controlling the HH
openess.
