DTX Hi-Hat Pad into Pro Tools (Question)

Hello,

I have the Yamaha DTX560k bundle and have the whole kit into Pro Tools 10 via a MIDI to USB converter.

I'm using SampleTank for the drum sounds. Everything mapped up perfectly and the sounds are great. Only problem is, the hi-hat pad is a little glitchy.

When you hit it with the hi-hat foot pedal, I'm getting signal fine. However, when I'm simply playing normal hi-hat, I only hear the sound occasionally. Seems as though the sensor that picks up the hi-hat stroke from the drumstick is not sensitive enough... like you have to hit it really hard or a certain angle in order for it to make a sound in SampleTank.

Any suggestions how I can resolve this?

Thanks!
 
I am sure the Yamaha unit has a way to increase the sensitivity of individual pads. Check your owners manual.
