Hi-Hat 2
Longer, more open hi-hat companion to Hi-Hat 1. Great for open hats, ride-like textures and shakers.
Available on: Track 6
Built on: Mutable Instruments Plaits — hi_hat model (open variant).
Character
Same six-partial metallic noise voice as HH1, tuned here for longer, more sustained hats. The noise balance is pushed further so you can dial in open hats, rides and tambourine-like textures.
