It seems like adjusting ANY of the articulations does nothing as if the software isn't reading my hi hat, but that can't be the case because it plays sound when I hit it. I'm puzzled here.
By 'adjusting ANY of the articulations ...', do you mean that you are using the Hi-Hat Pedal Control in the Hi-Hat & Snare CC tab in MIDI in/E-Drums Settings? What happens if you make sure the bottom slider (between the Closed and Tight articulations) on that control is set to a really low value, like 2 and all of the other sliders to 0? If this makes it easy to trigger the Tight articulation, can you then tweak all the sliders to make the Hi-Hat respond ok?
