* There is a separate note assignment that alternates between the left and right hand samples of the center and halfway 

snare, center tom, and closed hihat articulations when playing faster than a certain speed. This adds a realistic sound 

to faster playing, as a drummer would also switch to using both hands at fast speeds.
** There is a separate note assignment for the open hihat that controls the amount of hihat openness depending on the 

position of the Modwheel controller (CC1) or a hihat foot controller (CC4). At the 0 position of the controller, the open 

hihat control key plays the fully open hihat. As the controller sends higher values, playing the open hihat control key will 

trigger hihat samples that gradually become more closed.
