14" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals on Yamaha DTX400K
Setup — 14" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals on Yamaha DTX400K
Use as switch hi-hatThe 14" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals works on the Yamaha DTX400K as a switch hi-hat: open/closed only.

Open
Closed
Wiring: 1× hi-hat pad + hi-hat controller → HI-HAT / HI-HAT CTL connectors on the nine-channel snake (3.5 mm mini at the module end)
Every trigger jack on the DTX400K is 3.5 mm mini — HI-HAT (mini mono) and HI-HAT CTL (mini stereo) per the specifications (p.64) — not 1/4", so Lemon 1/4" hardware does not plug in directly. The DTX400K ships with a basic hi-hat controller; the position-sensing HH65 is stock on the DTX430K/450K only (pp.8-10).
Cable routing
- The hi-hat pad and controller connect via the nine-channel snake cable; its module-end plugs are 3.5 mm mini (p.18, p.64).
Module settings
- Connect the hi-hat controller with the module powered off, and do not power the module on with the pedal pressed down — it cannot identify the pedal type properly.
- Hold the [KIT] button and press the [SONG] button to enter Menu Mode.
- Press number button [5] for the Trigger Settings group, then [4] for the Pedal Types parameter. The five settings are hi-hat-controller/kick-pedal pairs and none of them is a third-party controller — leave it on [1] (automatic identification), or pick the pair whose kick pedal matches your kit.
- Press number button [5] again then [5] for the Gain parameter, strike the hi-hat pad, and set its gain (1-127).
- To tune where the closed sound triggers, press number button [4] for the Hi-hat Settings group, then [3] for Foot Close Position (0-32). This has an effect only when the module is set to the HH65 controller type; on the stock-controller setting use [4] Foot Close Velocity (1-127) instead.
Tips
- This module reads the hi-hat controller as open/closed only — no half-open or continuous articulation.
