Wiring: 1× TRS → HI-HAT connector on the DB-25 cable snake + 1× TRS (controller) → Hi-Hat Control connector on the DB-25 cable snake
Continuous hi-hat control via the cable snake.
Cable routing
- Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the hi-hat pad to the HI-HAT connector on the DB-25 cable snake.
- Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the hi-hat controller to the Hi-Hat Control connector on the DB-25 cable snake.
Module settings
- With the hi-hat completely separated from the motion sensor unit, turn on the V-31, then loosen the clutch screw so the hi-hat rests naturally on the motion sensor unit.
- Press the [MENU] button.
- Use the cursor buttons to select "SYSTEM" -> "TRIGGER", then press [ENTER].
- Press the [F4] (HI-HAT) button to open the TRIGGER - HI-HAT screen.
- Use the dial to set the Trig Type to VH-11 (or VH-10).
- While reading the on-screen meter, raise or lower the cymbal on the clutch until the indicator centres — a Lemon hi-hat has no offset adjustment screw, so the clutch is the control.
- Tighten the clutch screw at a position where the hi-hat sways naturally when struck.
Tips
- Continuous pedal control provides smooth open-to-closed transitions.
