Adjusting the Responsiveness Closed Hihat Notes and Splashes
Before you adjust these controls, make sure your hihat controller is properly calibrated.
Travel
The travel control determines where along the pedals travel a note can be
issued. In the image on the right, the line traces the position of the pedal
over time. The pedal must pass into the green area in order for a note to
be generated.
If you are using a two piece hihat like a Roland VH-13, make sure the
green area is a little above the point where the two hats come together.
Splash Sensitivity
Any time a pedal note is triggered, a splash note can also be trigger if the
pedal reopens quickly enough. The height and width of the green box in
this control is used to adjust the sensitivity.
A splash note will be triggered the moment a pedal transient travels up
and out of the box like it does in the picture on the right. The width of the
box sets the maximum time window in which a splash can be triggered,
and the height determines how far the pedal must reopen.
Gain
This Gain control compensates for how fast your pedal changes values. The
faster your pedal moves, the lower you need to set the Gain Control. Hihat
controllers typically work best with low gain values and Expression pedals
work best with high gain values.
xTalk
If you are using a hihat setup where pressing down on the hihat pedal causes
the hihat cymbals to vibrate, you can use the xTalk control to prevent those
vibrations from causing false triggers. The control’s meter measures the
vibrations of the hihat trigger when the pedal generates a note. Set the value
of the control above the meter.
Velocity Curve
The velocity Curve control allows you to shape the
velocity response of pedal and splash notes. It works
exactly like the one for trigger inputs. Look
