Hi-Hat Controller Sensor on Donner DED-300 Pro

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the Hi-Hat Controller Sensor when used with the Donner DED-300 Pro.

Setup — Hi-Hat Controller Sensor on Donner DED-300 Pro

Use as switch hi-hat

The Hi-Hat Controller Sensor works on the Donner DED-300 Pro as a switch hi-hat: open/closed only.

Continuous Open Closed

Wiring: 1× TRS (pad) → Hi-hat plug on the trigger snake + 1× TRS (controller) → Hi-hat Control plug on the snake

The snake carries a labelled Hi-hat Control lead, so the Lemon controller connects. This module's hi-hat channel follows the Alesis/Medeli convention, which reads a Roland-convention controller as open/closed. The pad channel is single-zone.

Cable routing

  1. Plug the snake's labeled Hi-hat connector into the Lemon hi-hat pad's 1/4" TRS jack.
  2. Connect the hi-hat controller to the snake's Hi-hat Control plug with a ¼″ TRS cable.

Module settings

  1. MENU > SENSITIVITY > select HH > PS, THR, XTALK, RETRIGER, VOLUME.
  2. Press SAVE to store the settings to the current PRESET.

Tips

  1. Hi-hat MIDI notes: open = 46, half-open = 23, closed = 42, pedal close = 44 — the module's own map; half-open is not reachable from a Roland-convention controller.
Hi-Hat Controller Sensor also fits 70 other drum modules — see setup
