Hi-Hat Controller Sensor on NUX DM-310H

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the Hi-Hat Controller Sensor when used with the NUX DM-310H.

Setup — Hi-Hat Controller Sensor on NUX DM-310H

Works

Yes — the Hi-Hat Controller Sensor works as a full hi-hat on the NUX DM-310H: variable pedal position.

Continuous Open Closed

Wiring: Hi-Hat branch → hi-hat pad + Hi-hat Control branch → hi-hat controller, both on the multi-pin trigger snake

Continuous hi-hat. The DM-310H reads three pedal stages — closed, half-open, and fully open — via its HIHAT SET menu (HH SENS, HH OPEN VAL, HH CLOSE VAL). NUX's variable hi-hat sensing isn't documented as Roland VH/FD-compatible, so calibrate the pedal range with HH OPEN VAL / HH CLOSE VAL after connecting.

Hi-hat setup and troubleshooting guide ›

Cable routing

  1. Plug the HI-HAT branch of the trigger snake into the Lemon hi-hat pad.
  2. Plug the Hi-hat Control branch of the trigger snake into the hi-hat controller.

Module settings

  1. Strike the hi-hat pad first — the screen header shows the pad you last played, and the trigger parameters below apply to that pad.
  2. Press the [ MENU ] button, use − / + to select TRIGGER, and press [ ENTER ].
  3. Press [ ENTER ] to switch between parameters and use − / + to set SENSITIVITY and THRESHOLD.
  4. Press [ RETURN ], then from [ MENU ] select HIHAT SET and press [ ENTER ].
  5. Set HH SENS (0-127) for pedal feel.
  6. Adjust HH OPEN VAL and HH CLOSE VAL so the open and closed points match your pedal's travel (the gap between them is the half-open range).
  7. Press [ RETURN ] to exit.

Tips

  1. If half-open feels off, widen or narrow the gap between HH OPEN VAL and HH CLOSE VAL.
  2. The pad's edge responds as it does on the other cymbals.
