Setting up your Hihat on its Stand
To get the best performance possible from your hihat, it’s important that it’s setup
properly on its stand. You know your setup is good when every slight movement of your
hihat pedal registers in the Control Application. I’m going to go over setting up a Roland
VH-10 as an example.
Adjusting the hihat clutch
Setting the height of your hihat correctly is very important for eliminating crosstalk
between the hihat pedal and the hihat cymbal. If you set the hihat too high, the sensor
on your hihat controller will not be able to detect when you very slightly press down on
your hihat pedal. For optimum performance, the hihat cymbal should always be in
contact with the plunger on the VH-10 controller.
Adjust the knob at the top of the cymbal
This knob allows you to adjust how much pressure is
required to have to pedal register completely closed.
Turning clockwise makes it more pressure sensitive and
turning it anti-clockwise makes it less pressure
sensitive.
For optimal performance with
eDRUM
in
devices, turn the
knob almost as much as it can go in the clockwise
direction.
This allows the
eDRUM
in
to more accurately track the position of the pedal, and also
makes your hihat responsive to the amount of pressure you’re applying when in the fully
closed position.
Calibrating
After the hihat is setup properly on its stand, the next step is to calibrate it within the
control application. Simply press the calibration button and press all the way down on
your pedal, as hard as you would normally expect to have to press it. Make any final
adjustments with the mouse. Make sure the red position indicator is even or further to
the right of the green calibration rectangle when you foot is removed from the pedal.
