The Simmons hi-hat controller convention differs from the Roland-style variable CV that the Lemon pedal produces — some Simmons modules use a 3.5mm HH-CTRL jack and a different pedal curve. Open/closed response is reliable, but variable articulation (half-open, splash) is not guaranteed. Simmons is not listed on Lemon Cymbals' official compatibility page and Lemon sells a separate control-pedal SKU marketed for Alesis Nitro / Simmons modules.
Cable routing
- Connect the hi-hat pad and pedal via the DB25 cable harness to the Hi-Hat and Hi-Hat Pedal connectors.
Module settings
- Utility > Trigger > select Hi-Hat > adjust Sensitivity, Threshold, Curve, Retrigger, Crosstalk, Splash Sensitivity.
Tips
- Multi-positional pedal supports open, semi-open (sizzle), and closed hi-hat sounds.
- Splash technique available by striking the heel of the pedal hard.
- Calibrate the hi-hat pedal range (open/closed end-points) in the module settings so variable response tracks the full pedal travel.
