HH Note# Border
(Hi-Hat Note Number Border)
The only time you would need to change this setting is
when you are triggering an external sound module.
The note number transmitted when you strike the hi-hat will
change depending on the amount of pressure on the hi-hat
pedal. HH Note# Border allows you to adjust the pedal
position at which the note number switches from the open hi-
hat to the closed hi-hat.
As you monitor the note number transmitted by the TD-12
and the Control Change message value, adjust the setting until
the note number is switched at the pedal position you want.
When using a VH-11 for the hi-hat, setting this value to
around 80 allows you to transmit the closed hi-hat note
number when the pedal is slightly above the fully depressed
position.

If you change the Hi-hat Note Number Border setting, the
hi-hat of a pattern that was recorded onto the internal
sequencer by playing the pads may play back in a way
that is different from the actually recorded performance.
