With a single Hi-hat Plug-in, you could also recreate an open-closed hi-hat behavior by disabling
Gate and modulating the Decay in your Pattern. This rather advanced task might give you even finer

track a “human” feel. Furthermore, since this method makes use of a single Sound you can quickly
modify other parameters of your Hi-hat Plug-in — your changes will seamlessly apply to all your hi-
hat variants!
