12" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals on Yamaha DTX700

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 12" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals when used with the Yamaha DTX700.

Setup — 12" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals on Yamaha DTX700

Use as switch hi-hat

The 12" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals works on the Yamaha DTX700 as a switch hi-hat: open/closed only.

Continuous Open Closed

Wiring: 1× TRS pad → [HI-HAT] input + 1× TRS (controller) → [HI-HAT CONTROL] jack (1/4" TRS jacks)

The DTX700 has a dedicated [HI-HAT CONTROL] jack (p.12; specification [HI HAT CONTROL], p.57) and documents graded closing — a firmer press in the closed position for a tighter sound, plus a foot-splash (p.23). With the Lemon controller this module delivers open/closed hi-hat.

Cable routing

  1. Connect the hi-hat pad to the [HI-HAT] input.
  2. Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the hi-hat controller to the [HI-HAT CONTROL] jack.

Module settings

  1. Strike the hi-hat pad, then press the [MENU] button, turn the dial to select Trigger, and press the dial.
  2. Turn the dial to select Pad, then press the dial — the [HI-HAT] input is selected.
  3. Move the cursor to the PadType row and set it to RHH135 — the entry for a real hi-hat pad that brings its own controller to the [HI-HAT CONTROL] jack (Owner's Manual p.12; the Reference Manual prints the full list at p.46).
  4. Set Gain (1–64) on the same Pad Type page (p.46), adjust MinLevel (Minimum Level, 0%–99%) and RejectTime (4ms–500ms) for a clean response (pp.46–47).
  5. Press the [STORE] button to store the setting — if a confirmation message appears, press the dial to proceed.
  6. If closed hi-hat sounds are hard to get, lower FootClosePos (Foot Closed Position, -32 to +0 to +32) on the Menu area's Utility/Pad page (Reference Manual pp.40, 65).

Tips

  1. The Lemon hi-hat controller triggers open/closed states via the [HI-HAT CONTROL] jack.
  2. You get clean open and closed hi-hat; graded half-open and foot-splash articulations are not delivered here.
