Wiring: 1× TRS pad → a TRIGGER IN jack (HEAD&RIM) + hi-hat control pedal → HH CTRL/EXPRESSION jack
Continuous hi-hat control. The hi-hat pad connects to a TRIGGER IN jack (HEAD&RIM for bow + edge) and the Lemon hi-hat control pedal connects to the dedicated HH CTRL/EXPRESSION jack, giving variable open-to-closed response. Supports VH-11/VH-10 and FD-8/FD-9 pedal profiles.
Cable routing
- Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the Lemon hi-hat pad to a free TRIGGER IN jack (1/2, 3/4, 5/6 or 7/8).
- Connect the Lemon hi-hat control pedal to the HH CTRL/EXPRESSION jack.
Module settings
- Press [MENU] > SYSTEM > PAD/TRIG IN > [F2] (HI-HAT) and set Pedal Mode to HH-CTRL.
- Set the pad's Layer Type to HI-HAT so open/closed sounds switch with pedal position, then calibrate the Hi-Hat Open/Close Border.
- On [F1] (PARAM), set the pad trigger's Input Mode to HEAD&RIM and Trig Type to a hi-hat profile such as VH-11.
Tips
- The HH CTRL/EXPRESSION jack is shared with expression — it can't do hi-hat and expression control at the same time.
- Continuous control gives smooth open-to-closed transitions; calibrate the pedal offset after connecting.
