12" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals on GEWA G5

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 12" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals when used with the GEWA G5.

Setup — 12" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals on GEWA G5

Works

Yes — the 12" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals works as a full hi-hat on the GEWA G5: variable pedal position.

Continuous Open Closed

Wiring: 1× TRS pad → HI-HAT input + 1× TRS pedal → HHctrl input (1/4" TRS jacks)

GEWA supports third-party hi-hat pads via its trigger presets, and the panel has a dedicated 1/4" TRS hi-hat-control jack (HHctrl; spec "HI-HAT CONTROL: 1× ¼" TRS socket", p.134) that the Lemon bottom-plate controller plugs straight into. An open/close calibration wizard ([F3] HH-CALIB., p.13) sets the pedal range for open, closed and half-open response.

Cable routing

  1. Connect the hi-hat pad to the HI-HAT input.
  2. Connect the pedal controller to the HHctrl jack.

Module settings

  1. Press the [18] [TRIGGER SELECT] button to enter Trigger Settings mode and turn the dial [5] [<INPUT>] to select the HI-HAT input, then press [F1] "Settings" to adjust Threshold, Gain and the other parameters with the dials [5]/[7].
  2. To calibrate the pedal, press the [TRIGGER SELECT] button, then press [F3] "HH-CALIB.".
  3. Close the hi-hat to the lowest position and press "NEXT", then open the hi-hat completely and press "FINISH".

Tips

  1. Run the HH-CALIB. pedal calibration ([F3]) after wiring so the module learns the controller's open and closed end-points.
  2. After calibration, verify the half-open transition point and adjust the position values to taste.
