Alesis SR 18- HI HAT PROBLEMS: Best Natural Rock Drum Set Settings

Hello Alesis SR 18 Users,

I have created my preference for what I think is a very good-sounding "rock drum set".
My problem is the closed hi hat sound and its quick snap release. It's the weakest sound on my kit. The SR18 has limited choices for rock closed hi hat. Does anyone have a solution for editing this sound to allow for a slower release? I tried to edit the pad with ENV REL but it gives me a N/A readout.

The closed hi-hat is the sound on this machine that most screams drum machine!

Any advice for this issue?

Thanks,

Jay

MY KIT:

Kick: RoomKIk5 (014)
Snare: RatlSnr1 (091)
Closed Hi Hat: CLHat03 (176)
Open Hi Hat: OpHat5 (218)

Tom 1: AmbTomH2 (284)
Tom 2: Amb2TomM2 (288)
Tom 3: AmbTomL2 (286)

Crash: AmbCrash1 (368)
Ride: 20Ride1 (358)
Bell: AmbBell (364)
 
I just found one way to somewhat resolve this issue. I was able to edit and shorten the release on my open hi-hat patch (OpHat5 218) and use it as my new closed hi hat. It's much better-sounding than any of the closed hi-hats patches in the SR18.
