12" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals on Alesis Crimson II

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

Setup — 12" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals on Alesis Crimson II

Use as switch hi-hat

The 12" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals works on the Alesis Crimson II as a switch hi-hat: open/closed only.

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 Crimson II supports continuous/variable hi-hat with its included RealHat control pedal (Alesis's continuously-variable pedal). The Lemon pedal uses the Roland VH/FD convention, not documented for continuous CV on this input — so with the Lemon pedal, treat hi-hat as open/closed.

Cable routing

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

Module settings

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

Tips

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