14" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals on Alesis Strata Core

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

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

Works

The 14" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals is fully supported on your Alesis Strata Core.

Continuous Open Closed

Wiring: 1× TRS (pad) → HH on the snake + the variable hi-hat controller on its dedicated lead

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.

Cable routing

  1. Connect the hi-hat pad's 1/4" TRS lead to the HH trigger on the snake.
  2. Mount the variable hi-hat controller under the cymbal on the stand and connect its lead per the assembly guide.

Module settings

  1. Press the Kit button, then tap Trigger to open Trigger Mode, and tap HH Setup at the top right.
  2. Loosen the clutch so the cymbal rests on the controller and tap SET; then raise the cymbal to your open height, tighten the clutch, and tap FINISH.
  3. Open Tweaks for the HH slot to set Bow Sensitivity, Edge Sensitivity, and Threshold.

Tips

  1. Fine-tune the open-to-closed transition with Pedal Bottom (100–2048) in Advanced — this sets where chick and splash sounds start.
  2. Pedal Top (2048–4095) sets where the fully open sound plays; adjust Chick Gain, Splash Sensitivity, and Splash Gain for pedal feel.
  3. Don't set the cymbal too high above the controller — a large gap hurts position tracking.
