Setup — 11" Hi-Hat Controller on Roland TD-12

Works

The 11" Hi-Hat Controller is fully supported on your Roland TD-12.

Continuous Open Closed

Wiring: 1× TRS → HI-HAT input on the rear panel + 1× TRS → HH CTRL input on the rear panel

Continuous hi-hat control. Supports VH-12, VH-11, FD-8, and FD-9.

Cable routing

  1. Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the hi-hat pad to the HI-HAT input on the rear panel.
  2. Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the hi-hat controller pedal to the HH CTRL input on the rear panel.

Module settings

  1. Press [TRIGGER] > [F1] BANK.
  2. Navigate to the HI-HAT input.
  3. Set the pad type to VH-11 or VH-12.

Tips

  1. Calibrate the VH offset: loosen the clutch, let the hi-hat rest on the motion sensor, and adjust the offset screw until the on-screen indicator is centered.
  2. Continuous pedal control provides smooth open-to-closed transitions.
