14" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals on Alesis Nitro

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 14" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals when used with the Alesis Nitro.

Setup — 14" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals on Alesis Nitro

Use as switch hi-hat

The 14" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals works on the Alesis Nitro as a switch hi-hat: open/closed only.

Continuous Open Closed

Wiring: 1× TRS (pad) → Hi-Hat connector on the 25-pin cable snake + 1× TRS (pedal) → the hi-hat pedal lead on the cable snake

The HH Pedal input is not documented as Roland VH/FD compatible, and there is no pedal curve or half-open voice — treat as open/closed.

Cable routing

  1. Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the hi-hat pad to the Hi-Hat connector on the 25-pin cable snake.
  2. Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the hi-hat pedal controller to the hi-hat pedal lead on the cable snake.

Module settings

  1. Go to Utility → use Page/Select to navigate to the Hi-Hat input.
  2. Adjust SEN (Sensitivity), THR (Threshold), and S-S (Splash Sensitivity).

Tips

  1. No pedal curve options are available — the module uses a fixed pedal response.
  2. Hi-hat voice selection is limited to H-C 001–007.
  3. Open/closed transitions may feel less nuanced than modules with pedal curve tuning.
14" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals also fits 69 other drum modules — see setup
