Wiring: 1× TRS → the TRIGGER IN jack labelled for the hi-hat + 1× TS or TRS (controller) → the TRIGGER IN jack labelled for hi-hat control
Continuous hi-hat control with granular pedal curve adjustment.
Hi-hat setup and troubleshooting guide ›Cable routing
- Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the hi-hat pad to the TRIGGER IN jack labelled for the hi-hat.
- Connect a ¼″ mono (TS) or stereo (TRS) cable from the hi-hat controller to the TRIGGER IN jack labelled for hi-hat control.
Module settings
- Press the [TRIGGER] button.
- Press the [F4] (HI-HAT) button to open the TRIGGER - HI-HAT screen.
- Use the [-] [+] buttons or the dial to set the Trig Type to VH-11 (or VH-13 / VH-10).
- Loosen the clutch and set the resting gap by raising or lowering the cymbal on the controller until the hi-hat reads open with your foot off the pedal.
Tips
- Set the resting gap with the clutch: loosen it, let the cymbal rest on the controller, and raise or lower it until the module's offset reading settles. A Lemon hi-hat has no offset adjustment screw — the clutch is the control.
- Pedal curve is adjustable for fine control over the open-to-closed gradient.
