message is output in line with the settings made
on the Hi-hat MIDI Channel page (KIT7-4) and
the Hi-hat MIDI Type page (KIT7-5).

• When this parameter is set to “hi-hat” and “on” has been selected on

the Send Hi-hat Controller page (UTIL5-3), Control Change 4 mes-
sages corresponding to the degree to which the hi-hat controller is
depressed will be sent to external MIDI devices on MIDI channel 10.

(KIT7-3), use this parameter to set the MIDI channel for out-
put of MIDI messages generated by the hi-hat controller.

• If “hi-hat” has been selected on the Hi-hat Function page (KIT7-3), this

setting will be displayed as “--” and modification will not be possible.
