Hello,
One trick with hihats on linuxsampler is to handle it differently.
One note will not mute another note.
But, hitting the hihat will trigger multiple openess samples (depending on how many levels you want). Then the hi hat pedal will fade from one sample to another.
This can be achevied with current sfz implementation i'm sure.
May you need more info tell me. I will take a look at my notes.

Hi folks!,
I'm currently using Linuxsampler for my GIG stuff and I'm wondering if I should port my samples to SFZ.
This is a very time consuming thing, where Natural Drum Kit (2+G +) is the most important one. It's very complicated to make a drum kit work as it should, the hi hats has for example varied degrees of openness, not only notes and the sample players handle this with the idea of dimensions. The openness is usually handles by an expression pedal or modulation wheel when an Hi Hat pedal is not involved.
Speaking about Hi Hat: One SFZ thing Linuxsampler does not handle (at the moment) is closing the previous samples when you trigger new ones when you varies the openness of it (in other word: it don't do it when you're keeping the same note), that mean that you can't play the sample library as a drummer would. The Linuxsampler devs took away this functionality early this year from the SVN repo. The (really bad) solution for now is to make a separate sample library for HHs and spread the varied openness items to different notes, then every trigging of a note can mute the previous sample.
Natural Drum Kit is not the only library that have varied HH openness, I know that ANALOGUE DRUMS also does and i guess that most proffesional libraries have it.
So my question is: Are someone aware of a decent Gig/SFZ sample player for Linux that can (or will) handle professional drum samples as described above?
Thanks,
Jostein
