Continuous hi-hat control via the cable snake.
Hi-hat setup and troubleshooting guide ›Cable routing
- Plug the HI-HAT connector on the DB-25 cable snake into the hi-hat pad.
- Plug the HHC connector on the DB-25 cable snake into the hi-hat controller.
Module settings
- Take your foot off the pedal and make sure the hi-hat is not touching the motion sensor, then power on the module and loosen the clutch screw so the hi-hat rests naturally on the motion sensor unit.
- In the DRUM KIT screen, press [MENU], scroll to the SYSTEM icon, press [F3] (SYSTEM), select "Pad Settings", then press [F3] (ENTER).
- Press [F1] (TYPE) and use the cursor buttons to select "HH".
- Turn the value dial to set Pad Type to VH-11.
- Press [F2] (BASIC) and set Sensitivity and Threshold for the hi-hat.
Tips
- Continuous pedal control provides smooth open-to-closed transitions.
- Set the resting gap with the clutch after connecting — a Lemon hi-hat has no offset adjustment screw.
