Adjusting the Hi-hat

Hi-hat adjustment is used to determine the point at which
the hi-hat closes when the hi-hat pedal (foot controller) is
pressed. You can also set the threshold at which foot
'splashes' are produced.
* This setting is only valid when a foot controller is con-
nected to the HI HAT CONTROL jack. The setting has no
effect on a foot controller connected to any other jack.
Operation
1. Press the [SHIFT] + [SAVE/ENTER] buttons to view
Utility Page 1.
Use this display to adjust the hi-hat.

2. To set the point at which the hi-hat closes, move the
flashing cursor to the "HHofs=" value then use the
jog dial to adjust the value.
The range of adjustment is -32 to 0 to +32. Smaller
values produce a shallower closing point.

To set the ease at which foot splashes are produced,
move the flashing cursor to the "T=" value then use
the jog dial to adjust the value.
Settings include "off" and a range of 1 to 127. Larger
values make foot splashes that are long and easier to
produce. When this is set to "off," foot splashes are
not produced.
* Too high a value will make foot splashes too easy to pro-
duce, resulting in the continuous production of foot
splashes when the pedal is held down continuously.
