12" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals on Alesis Strata Core
Setup — 12" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals on Alesis Strata Core
WorksYes — the 12" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals works as a full hi-hat on the Alesis Strata Core: variable pedal position.
Continuous
Open
Closed
Wiring: HH on the cable snake → hi-hat pad + hi-hat controller
Variable hi-hat is supported — the controller mounts under the cymbal and tracks pedal position continuously, so open, half-open, closed, chick, and splash articulations all play. Calibrate with HH Setup; fine-tune with Pedal Bottom and Pedal Top.
Hi-hat setup and troubleshooting guide ›Cable routing
- Plug the HH trigger on the cable snake into the hi-hat pad.
- Mount the hi-hat controller under the cymbal on the stand and connect it. The manual documents the controller's mounting and calibration but never says which connection it takes, so follow the labelling on your own snake.
Module settings
- Press the Kit button, then tap Trigger to open Trigger Mode, and tap HH Setup at the top right.
- Loosen the clutch so the cymbal rests down on the controller and tap SET; then, without pushing down on the pedal, raise the cymbal to your open height, tighten the clutch, and press FINISH.
- Open Tweaks for the HH slot to set Bow Sensitivity, Edge Sensitivity, and Threshold.
- If edge hits play a bell sound, toggle Invert Bell & Edge in Advanced for the HH slot.
Tips
- Fine-tune the open-to-closed transition with Pedal Bottom (100–2048) in Advanced — this sets where chick and splash sounds start.
- Pedal Top (2048–4095) sets where the fully open sound plays; adjust Chick Gain, Splash Sensitivity, and Splash Gain for pedal feel.
- Don't set the cymbal too high above the controller — a large gap hurts position tracking.
