12" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals on Alesis Command

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 12" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals when used with the Alesis Command.

The 12" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals works on your Alesis Command with reduced zones.

Continuous Open Closed

Wiring: 1× TRS (pad) → Hi-Hat connector on the cable snake + 1× TRS (pedal) → HH Pedal connector on the cable snake

The Command's HH Control input accepts a hi-hat pedal for open/closed triggering. The module uses Alesis's own pedal convention, and Roland-style continuous CV compatibility is not documented — treat as open/closed with this pedal.

Cable routing

Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the hi-hat pad to the Hi-Hat connector on the cable snake.
Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the hi-hat pedal controller to the HH Pedal connector on the cable snake.

Module settings

Go to Kit → Menu → Trigger. Select the Hi-Hat input.
Adjust Sensitivity, Threshold, and Splash Sens.

Tips

No pedal curve options are available — the module uses a fixed pedal response.
Splash Sens controls how easily splash sounds are triggered by quick pedal lifts.
Open/closed transitions may feel less nuanced than modules with pedal curve tuning.
