Open hi-hat

where do I found the open Hi-hat. Can’t fand on the drum map or by new instruments?

Have you tested out the open-circle playing technique in the Unpitched Percussion section?

i think you mean that. Non of these change the sounds

and also how can i make hear a rimshot? I think it needs the same typ of solution.

Also the rimshot can be done with the shift + alt +Arrow up. Sadly this works not for the hi-hat

Which sound set are you using?

It’s this one:

HiHat

And the “PLUS” in the 2nd row is “closed”.

wow thx. yess. That work. Is there away to display it on the scors?

Treat the circle as an articulation; select the HH note you want to sound open and then click on the circle. The symbol should appear above the note in the score and part.

In Dorico 5.1, with the default Groove Agent SE Studio Kit percussion map, you can enter the closed hi-hat, then move it up or down by a half-step (shift-opt-arrow). That will sound an open hi-hat and put a circle with a vertical line through it on top of the note.

None of the above is working for me.
How do I troubleshoot further?
I am working with Groove Agent.

Forget it. I found the correct open symbol.
Which I by the way had to find in the toolbox in the right hand side.
It was not represented in popover playing technics. Groove Agent didn’t play the open hi-hat when I did it that way.

If you want to use “+” to indicate a closed hi-hat , press Shift+P and select Rim Shot from the list.

That works for me too, thanks! I selected the little circle with a single, vertical line through it, labeled (when you hover over it) “Open (pt.open2)”. And using shift-opt-arrow instead still works for me. What’s odd though, is that, looking at the Percussion Kit, Hi-hat has no other playing techniques defined other than “Natural”.
