Hi guys,
I'm using a TD17 module to send midi into my Drumit 5 MK2 that I received earlier today (so I'm extremely new to this)
I'm not sure how to set up my hihat mechanism!
I can't find the midi notes for closed or open or foot switch

Can anyone help me set it up?

Update, I can't get it to make a closed sound at all. when I hold the pedal down there is no sound at all, but when I release it, there is an open sound.

There is also no transition between open and closed

I am curious why are you using the TD17 to midi trigger the Drumit 5 mk2?

But..(I am not familiar with the TD17, but assuming you can change the midi notes for all Hihat zones independently)  In the TD17, go to the midi notes of the hihat and change them to match the 2box. You'll need to do this for Bow, Edge, Pedal and foot splash.

Default midi notes are A2 (Bow) A#2 (edge) and B2 (foot)

As for the transition for closed/open. I have read through the manual and it explains it can set to transmit midi data as Foot Control (CC4) But it can be set to Modulation (CC1) I am not sure which is the default. But it's in the UNIT - MIDI page and the bottom middle will say "PED CC1" or "CC4"

I hope this helps.
