Cable routing
- Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the hi-hat pad to the HI-HAT input on the rear panel.
- Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the hi-hat controller pedal to the HH CTRL input on the rear panel.
Module settings
- Hold [SHIFT] and press [EDIT (SETUP)] to enter setup mode, then select TRIG BASIC.
- Strike the hi-hat pad so the display shows the HH input.
- Set the Trigger Type to CY6 or a similar 2-zone cymbal preset.
Tips
- Continuous pedal control provides smooth open-to-closed transitions, including foot splashes.
- Calibrate the pedal at its rest position when powering on — do not press the pedal until the [KIT] lamp has lit.
